What’s an ISA-Certified Arborist?

Whether you are the owner of a home or business, you probably have trees on your property. Most people don’t think much about needing tree care unless a tree falls or is dead and needs to be removed. But, did you know that arborists are tree care experts? They are knowledgeable and experienced to provide complete care for trees, including planting, care for, and maintaining them. ISA-Certified arborists in Kingsport at Promier Tree want to share with you what this certification means and why you should hire a certified arborist for your tree care needs.

A certified arborist has been highly trained and certified by the International Society of Arboriculture. One can only become ISA-certified by passing a rigorous exam that tests their knowledge of all aspects relating to tree growth, maintenance, and care.

Our certified arborists can assist you with the following types of tree care services:

• Tree Removal – Trees that are diseased, damaged, or in danger of falling are likely to need removal. Otherwise, you could wind up with damage to your property, or worse, the tree could fall on someone and cause life-threatening injuries. Our arborists can remove the entire tree, including the trunk and the root system while adhering to safety standards to protect you and your property.
• Tree pruning – Pruning is essential because it involves trimming away any dead or diseased branches, and helps shape the tree to keep it healthy and beautiful. Tree trimming or pruning is best done by professionals because we have the proper safety equipment, and can safely reach even the tallest trees.
• Emergency tree care – Disaster often strikes at the worst time, on the weekends or outside of normal business hours. But, Promier Tree offers 24/7 emergency tree care services. This means that if a tree falls on your home, power lines, or property at the worst time, we are just a phone call away and will be at the scene to get started on the tree removal process.
• Tree planting – Planting trees involves more than just digging holes and burying the roots. Soil conditions, climate, watering, mulching, and fertilizing all play a significant role in tree planting and establishing young trees. Our certified arborists can plant trees on your property, and provide the necessary maintenance so that the trees thrive.
• Tree health ­– Insects, fungi, and diseases can affect tree health. Our arborists can identify what is affecting your tree’s health and provide solutions to help. It’s important to have unhealthy or pest-ridden trees assessed to prevent the problem from spreading to the remaining trees on your property.
