Certified Arborist
Professionals who provide care for trees and other plant life are known as arborists. A certified arborist is a provider that has been educated, trained in, and has practiced the care that sustains tree life.
Being certified indicates that the individual completed the requisite experience component and passed the exam. Both are overseen and administered by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). The experience that the ISA requires is three or more years of experience in the tree care industry. The exam is comprehensive and tests individuals on all areas of arboriculture.
Arboriculture is the care, cultivation, maintenance, and study of trees, shrubs, and vines as well as other, typical woody, perennial plants. Some of the technical aspects of arboriculture that arborists need to master to be certified are planting trees and other plants; training trees by pruning and shaping them; removing them when they are dead, diseased, in dangerous areas, and more; fertilization techniques; and controlled use of substances that deal with pests. The standards set out by the ISA have led to significant improvements in the profession, seen by both the practitioners and the public..
People will tend to hire a certified arborist as in investment in the care of their trees with the understanding that the return on that investment is worthwhile. This ensures that your lawn and landscaping are being well cared-for and the trees maintain their lovely appearance. It gives the owners the peace of mind that the professional will not damage the tree. They also rely on the professionals to deal with dangerous situations (a branch entangled with electrical wiring or otherwise) with extreme care.
The best times to consider hiring a professional arborist is when planting and removing, as they know the best practices and can avoid some of the problems that accompany DIY attempts. Planting is a practice that comes with many technical aspects. Removing trees can be dangerous. Some of the additional responsibilities that arborists can be responsible for when hired include doing preventative maintenance on trees to keep them from contracting diseases, watching and/or treating the soil. But they will typically only need to do pruning, shaping, and other general maintenance for the customers.
