When it comes to your trees, experience matters—but so does education.

ISA Certified Arborists have demonstrated knowledge in tree biology, diagnosis, risk assessment, planting, pruning, soil management, and tree care best practices. Certification also requires ongoing continuing education to stay current with industry standards and research.

What does that mean for property owners?

✔ More informed recommendations
✔ Proper pruning practices
✔ Better long-term tree health
✔ Identification of potential hazards before they become problems
✔ Professional guidance when deciding whether a tree should be preserved, pruned, or removed

🌞 Summer Tree Care Tip 🌳

Many tree problems we see during late summer actually begin with drought stress earlier in the season.

A few watering tips:

💧 Water deeply rather than frequently.
🌳 Focus on the root zone beneath the canopy.
📅 Water consistently during extended dry periods.
🍂 Apply mulch to help retain soil moisture and moderate soil temperatures.

Mature trees often need supplemental water during prolonged summer heat, especially newly planted trees and trees growing near lawns, sidewalks, or other heat-reflective surfaces.

Not sure if your trees are showing signs of drought stress? We'd be happy to take a look.
