Trees, Going, Going, Gone! |
Tree's Spring Check Up Planting - Arborists can recommend what types of trees are appropriate for different conditions. They assess soil types and sun conditions, so homeowners can select trees that will do best in a particular landscape. Removal - Always a last resort, tree removal is necessary under some circumstances. Arborists can best advise homeowners about these situations.Other Services - Arborists, like doctors, can provide specialty services, including diagnosis, insect control and treatment of various diseases. Arborists are also specialists in fertilization, aeration, cabling, bracing and the installation of lightning protection systems.Selecting an Arborist- To ensure the highest quality service for your trees, exercise some of the same precautions in selecting an arborist as in choosing a doctor.· Ask for more than one reference. Why allow someone to perform unnecessary surgery on your landscape without being certain it is the best course of action?· Be wary of individuals who go door-to-door and offer bargains for performing tree care. Qualified arborists are generally too busy to solicit business in this manner.· Don't always accept the lowest bid. Quality workmanship may be slightly more expensive, but in the long run can save money. Poor workmanship leads to complications that can damage trees, potentially costing homeowners more overtime.· Ask for proof of insurance for both personal and property damage as well as workers' compensation.· Look for professional credentials. Arborists should be members of the International Society of Arboricultural (ISA), National Arborist Association (NAA), or the American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA). Similar to diplomas in a doctor's office, these professional credentials represent the highest standards of tree care excellence. Your local ISA chapter can give you the names of certified arborists near you. ~ CDF Information Office |
