If you’ve been looking around our website to see if we are the right team of professionals to hire for your tree service needs, you may have stumbled across the fact that we are ISA-certified arborists. That’s a big deal for us, as it shows we have gone the extra mile to truly know our craft inside and out. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you as a property owner fully comprehend the significance.

You may even ask yourself, “What is a certified arborist, and why should I choose them over another tree service professional?”

Great question! So let’s get that answered for you so that you can make the best decision possible.

What Is a Certified Arborist?

In the simplest terms possible, a certified arborist is a highly trained and seasoned tree professional. More than just another guy with a chainsaw and a few ropes, these professionals are certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and have extensive knowledge about trees, including but not limited to tree biology and health, planting, diagnosing, care and maintenance, and safety. ISA certified arborists must also adhere to a stringent code of ethics to ensure credibility and reliability in the industry.

For you, the homeowner, this means the person you’re working with — whether it’s an emergency situation with a downed tree or a simple pruning job — cares a great deal about your trees and what the best course of action is when you call for tree service.

As you can see from our website, one of our ISA certified arborists can help you with any of the following tree service needs:

  • Tree removal: There are times when tree removal is necessary because of disease, decay, insects, risk to structures, new construction, land clearing needs, and more. A certified arborist can point these issues out and make recommendations.
  • Tree pruning: There is a science to proper tree trimming and pruning to keep them looking great and avoid a shortened lifespan. This includes knowing which limbs to cut, how and where to cut them, and what time of year is best for trimming and pruning.
  • Emergency and storm clean-up — Weather, disease, or bad luck can put your property in danger if you don’t have an ISA-certified arborist in your back pocket. We respond day or night to emergencies.
  • Stump grinding: Clean Edge has top-of-the-line equipment to grind any stump efficiently, regardless of size or location, to improve the overall look of your yard. Put us to work for you. We want to earn your business.

Why Hire a Certified Arborist?

Certified arborists are required to stay up-to-date on the latest techniques and requirements in arboriculture. Trees that aren’t properly pruned, trimmed, or maintained can experience shorter lifespans and cause future property damage. Trees that are properly maintained as the years go by can still fall victim to disease, decay, and other issues.

In these situations, there is peace of mind in working with someone who understands the science of trees and how to maintain them.

Our team of ISA-certified arborists caters to each tree’s unique needs, works to maintain the tree’s health and the beauty of your yard, prides themselves on efficiency, and performs all work with a safety-first mindset.
