Frequently Asked Questions
​
What's a certified arborist?
An ISA arborist certification is a nongovernmental, voluntary process by which individuals can document their base of knowledge. Certification provides a measurable assessment of an individual’s knowledge in the competencies needed for proper tree care. They are tree care professional who has attained a generally-accepted level of knowledge in areas such as tree biology, diagnosis, maintenance practices, safety, and other subjects.
Why do you charge for consultations?
Consultation and estimates are not the same. An estimate is when our tree expert stops by to look at a specific service your looking for, usually takes 10-15 minutes. A consultation is when professional advice is needed from the certified arborist that they have obtained from years of experience in the field. Consultations take longer, sometimes up to an hour, and sometimes require follow ups.
​
Arborist reports, diagnosing, lab testing, aerial inspections require a consultation.
How much does it cost to prune my tree?
Since every tree and situation is different, there is really no way of knowing the cost of pruning your tree without first looking at it in person. Our certified arborist will be happy to take a look at your trees and provide you with a written quote, free of charge. Just call or send a message to set up an appointment.

Sending pictures for estimates are not ideal. We really do need to take a look at the whole picture.
