Selecting the right arborist for the job
Check for membership in professional organizations such as the international society of arboriculture (ISA), the tree care industry association (TCIA), or the American society of consulting arborists (ASCA). Such membership demonstrates a willingness on the part of the arborist to stay up-to-date on the latest techniques and information. Check for ISA arborist certification. ISA certified arborists are experienced professionals who have passed an extensive examination covering all aspects of tree care. Ask for proof of insurance and then phone the insurance company if you are not satisfied. A reputable arborist carries personal and property damage insurance as well as workers compensation insurance. Check for necessary permits and licenses. Some governmental agencies require contractors to apply for permits and/or to apply for a license before they are able to work. Ask for references to find out where the company has done work similar to what you are requesting. Don’t hesitate to check references or visit other work sites where the company or individual has done tree work. Get more than one estimate, unless you know and are comfortable with the arborist. You may have to pay for the estimates, and it will take more time, but it will be worth the investment. Please feel free to browse our entire website. You’ll be sure to find what you are looking for. If not, give us a call and we’ll talk pricing, at (403) 371-7847
