Being an ISA Certified Arborist means that a tree care professional has been trained, tested, and certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA)—a globally recognized authority in tree care. This certification isn’t just a title; it’s a commitment to the highest standards of arboriculture and the health and safety of trees and the environment.
 

Here’s why it matters:

Proven Expertise: Certified Arborists have demonstrated their knowledge of tree biology, pruning techniques, soil management, pest control, and safety protocols by passing a rigorous exam.

Ongoing Education: ISA certification requires continuing education, so your arborist stays up-to-date on the latest industry techniques, technology, and research.

Best Practices: They follow the ISA’s standards for safe and effective tree care, meaning your trees are in skilled and knowledgeable hands.

Environmental Stewardship: Certified Arborists understand how trees interact with their environment and can recommend the best care to preserve and enhance your landscape’s ecosystem.

By choosing an ISA Certified Arborist, you’re not just hiring someone to "trim a tree." You’re trusting a professional dedicated to the science and art of tree care, ensuring the beauty, health, and safety of your trees for years to come.
