When it comes to tree care, not all “tree guys” are the same. If you’re looking for the highest level of expertise and professionalism, you want an ISA Certified Arborist. At Western Hemlock Tree & Stump Service, our certified team proudly serves Snohomish County with the skill and safety that comes from real credentials.
What Does ISA Certified Arborist Mean?
ISA stands for the International Society of Arboriculture. To become ISA certified, arborists must:
- Pass a rigorous exam covering biology, pruning, soil, pests, tree risk, and more
- Have at least 3 years of full-time tree care experience
- Commit to continuing education and ethics standards
It’s like having a licensed doctor for your trees—not just someone with a chainsaw.
Why Hire an ISA Certified Arborist?
When you hire an ISA certified arborist, you’re hiring someone who can:
- Identify diseases, infestations, and decay early
- Safely trim or remove trees with proper technique
- Preserve valuable trees rather than cutting unnecessarily
- Give you advice based on science—not guesswork
Safety, preservation, and professionalism—that’s the certified difference.
