Why Hire a Certified Arborist?

TreeHugger Complete Tree Care is proud to have ISA Certified Arborists on our crew.

Healthy trees serve our world well and a way to protect them and ensure a long and healthy life is to hire an professional arborist. Professionally trained arborists know how to properly maintain trees for the safety of the public and the health and well being of the trees.

For many years we operated a safe and professional tree service company without a certified arborist on staff. However, as we grew, we learned to appreciate the importance and value of tree care education and professionalism.

A certified Arborist is a nongovernmental and voluntary position where individuals document their knowledge and competency in proper tree care. When a profession becomes certified, some areas they are equipped in include tree biology, diagnosis, maintenance practices, and safety. In addition, they are required to continue their education to maintain their certification and are more likely to be up to date with our industry standards and techniques.

A day spent among the trees is never a day wasted.

Trees exhale for us so that we can inhale them to stay alive. Can we ever forget that? Let us love trees with every breath we take until we perish.”
