Every tree service should have an ISA Certified Arborist.
Founded in Nashville in 2010 on that idea, and it still runs the brand today. Most tree services don't have one on staff. We only work with and promote the ones that do.
What an ISA Certified Arborist Is
The credential comes from the International Society of Arboriculture, not a weekend
course. Earning it takes verified field experience, a proctored exam covering tree
biology, diagnosis, and safe technique, and ongoing continuing education to keep it
active. It is the baseline we require before a tree service can carry our name.
Board Certified Master Arborist, the Top of the Ladder
Board Certified Master Arborist sits above the standard credential, ISA's highest
arboriculture certification. Fewer than 2% of ISA Certified Arborists ever earn it. When
a market has one on the team, it is a marker of depth we look for, not a requirement we
drop the standard to meet.
The standard
Five checks before any crew carries this name.
Every crew passes the same gate before it works under The Certified Arborist Tree Service,
and has to keep passing it to stay. Crews are trained to ANSI A300 standards.
1
An ISA Certified Arborist on staff
Verified through the ISA directory, not taken on anyone's word.
2
The insurance that matters
Coverage built for tree work, the kind that protects every inch of your property.
3
A clean record
Reputation checked. A history of unresolved complaints is a no.
4
References that hold up
Real customers, real jobs, checked.
5
Capacity to show up
They answer when you call. A standard nobody picks up the phone for is not a standard.
