Searching for the Right Tree Service

Whenever a property owner has a problem with their trees, who should they call? Searching for the right tree service may seem daunting, and you may just go online to see what and who is available in your area. What it comes down to is do you just want a few tree limbs removed? If you don’t have the expertise to accomplish that, a tree service company should be able to help you. They may also be able to help you remove that ugly tree stump.

There are several reasons why you may hire the tree service company. Whether you want tree limbs removed that are a threat to your home or your neighbor’s, or if the limbs block your views, or you just want the tree to be trimmed they should be able to help you accomplish that task.

However when your trees appear to have problems, the tree service may not be able to help. There is a distinction between your local tree service and a certified arborist. Both services should be useful in maintaining a healthy tree, but the arborist is certified and educated in maintaining the health of your trees. The arborist will go a step above the average tree service company. The arborist or tree doctor should be able to identify and treat problems with the goal in mind to prevent those problems.

The arborist is not a miracle worker they may not be able to solve every problem especially if the tree has gone beyond the point of no return. However, when you first notice problems with your trees, and you call them in time to prevent further damage, they will be able to advise you on the best treatment.

To help you in searching for the right tree service and to find a certified Arborist Service, the following are organizations specifically for arborists and tree service members: The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), the National Arborist Association (NAA), and the American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA).

These organizations are the major professionals that help their members keep up to date on the latest knowledge in their field. The certified arborist will identify the problems and know the best treatment and prevention of disease and insect infestation. This knowledge along with their extensive training will be a key factor in preventing problems with your trees and other landscaping problems.
