What is a certified arborist?
|
Menchhofer Tree Care employs ISA Certified Arborists. Certified arborists are tree care specialists dedicated to excellence in the field of Arboriculture. They are highly qualified in the care of your valuable trees and shrubs with knowledge of the most up to date advances, and proven age-old techniques. They are educated and trained in:
|
Diagnosis and treatment of your tree and shrub related problems
Proper pruning and management techniques for your trees and shrubs
Understanding tree biology.
Identifying and selecting the appropriate trees and shrubs for your landscape
Understanding the delicate soil and water relationships which affect tree and shrub health.
Nutrition requirements and fertilization techniques to keep your trees and shrubs in peak form.
Recognizing certain tree hazards and construction damage.
When properly maintained, plants add life and color to our cities, towns, and neighborhoods. Trees improve our environment by filtering the air we breathe and the water we drink. They provide shade and lower heating and cooling costs. They reduce air pollution and increase property values.
Unfortunately, the life span of a tree, in the best urban setting, is only about 60 years. The same tree species in a rural forest may live several times that long. Trees need help to survive in our harsh urban and suburban conditions. Without regular care, they can quickly change from a valuable resource to a costly burden.
The skills of the professional arborist are more valuable than ever because of the increased recognition of the environmental, economic, and social benefits of trees.
