When choosing and caring for trees on your property, hiring a certified arborist is the best way to ensure that they have long, healthy lives. When you hire a landscaping company, find out if there is a certified arborist on staff. If not, you could be compromising the health and sustainability of your outdoor environment and face costly replacement and redesign services in the future. Here is a look at some of the reasons that you should prioritize hiring a certified arborist.

They have extensive knowledge and experience.
Certified arborists must have at least three years of experience or a degree in the field, and they must complete an exam demonstrating their aptitude. When you hire a certified arborist, you can be confident that the person working on your landscaping has the depth of knowledge necessary to help you select and care for the right trees in your environment. They are also skilled in maintenance, such as pruning, tree removal, planting, and emergency tree care, so you can rely on them to complete tasks safely and efficiently.

They are dedicated to continuing education.
Like most fields, new technology and research constantly changes the best procedures arborists use on the job. Certified arborists are committed to continuing education and must meet specific educational benchmarks to maintain their certification. Through continuing education, certified arborists are always knowledgeable about new knowledge, research, techniques, and technologies regarding tree health, and they will use that knowledge in their work for you.

They rely on science to do their jobs.
Certified arborists make decisions about planting, pruning, and plant care using techniques that are fully backed by scientific research. There is no guesswork involved in the job that certified arborists do. They only use result-driven practices for their customers to achieve and maintain tree health.
