Life on Earth is Deteriorating

We are witnessing a decline in biodiversity, the destruction of forests, a rise in air pollution, the loss of topsoil, diminishing drinking water supplies, and an increase in CO2 levels in our atmosphere, among other issues. Fortunately, trees are one of nature’s most powerful tools for fostering a healthy planet. We should work in harmony with nature to plant new trees and responsibly care for the existing ones.

Every minute, we are cutting down nearly 30 football fields' worth of trees.

Each year, our deforestation, agriculture, and development practices lead to the loss, degradation, and erosion of billions of tons of topsoil.

One With Nature!

We must cultivate a thriving planet by actively nurturing the growth of healthy trees. These remarkable beings are essential—they provide clean drinking water, fertile soil for crops, and diverse ecosystems that support a wide variety of life. Trees are crucial in regulating carbon levels in our atmosphere, making them a powerful weapon in the fight against climate change.

We must prioritize the health of our soil by abandoning harmful practices. We need to replace manicured lawns with vibrant native flowers, trees, or mulch beds, working in harmony with nature to create ecosystems that foster the growth and well-being of all living creatures.

Let’s take a firm stand in promoting a healthier planet by harnessing the power of nature and taking decisive steps to establish thriving ecosystems for generations to come. There are NO NEGATIVES!

Finding an Arborist

ISA Certified Arborists® are professionals who have proven their expertise in the art and science of tree care through experience and by passing a rigorous examination designed by leading experts in the field. To retain their certification, ISA Certified Arborists must pursue ongoing education, ensuring they remain at the forefront of arboriculture techniques. In addition to being an ISA Certified Arborist, Brandon is a Board Certified Master Arborist® (BCMA) — the highest level of ISA certification, often considered the PhD of arboriculture, recognizing exceptional knowledge, experience, and commitment to the profession.

Here’s how to choose the right tree care company:

Finding a Certified Arborist. Visit TreesAreGood.org for free tools:

• The “Find an Arborist” tool can help you locate a Certified Arborist in your area. IF the company claims they are certified and they don't show up here, they're not Certified!

• The “Verify a Credential” tool enables you to confirm whether an arborist has an ISA credential.

Reject Arborists Who Top Trees: Do not hire arborists who promote tree topping. If any arborist agrees to top your trees, walk away. (See: 8 Reasons Not to Top Your Trees so that you can save money and hardship in the future)

Confirm Licenses and Insurance: Ask for proof of insurance and call the insurance company. Check for local permits and licenses. Specifically, check to see if their Workers' Safety Insurance Board (WSIB) is active or delinquent. Ask for a WSIB clearance letter addressed directly to you.

Inquire About Pruning Standards: Demand information about ANSI A300 pruning standards and safety regulations. You must ensure that their practices align with these established standards. Arborists adhering to the ANSI A300 pruning standard will not:
• leave branch stubs
• make unnecessary heading cuts
• cut off the branch collar (Flush cut)
• top or lion’s tail trees (stripping a branch from the inside, leaving foliage just at the ends)
• remove more than 25 percent of the foliage out of a single tree in one year.
• damage other parts of the tree during pruning
• use wound paint
• prune without a good reason
• climb the tree with climbing spikes for pruning jobs

Avoid Unnecessary Tree Removals: Be highly skeptical of any arborist who suggests removing healthy, living trees. This should only be considered as a last resort after all alternatives have been thoroughly explored.

Verify Their Certification: Check for membership in professional organizations such as the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), or the American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA).

Understand that Price Does Not Reflect Quality: Don’t always accept the lowest bid. Examine the credentials and the written specifications of the firms that submitted the bids and determine the best combination of price, work to be done, skills and professionalism. Choosing a locally owned and operated company will also help your community. "The Bitterness of Poor Quality Remains Long After the Sweetness of Low Price is Forgotten"

Get it in writing. Most reputable arborists have their clients sign a contract. Read it carefully and ask questions.
