ISA-Certified Arborist
What to Expect: ISA-Certified Arborist
Tree Care Professionals at Cumberland Valley Tree Service – Landscaping are skilled, studied and certified to perform tree services on your property. As ISA-Certified Arborists, we have trained for hours – the equivalent of a two-year degree – and we have taken a pledge to perform tree services in accordance with ANSI A300 standards. Many of us go on to achieve numerous other certifications including becoming Licensed Tree Experts (a requirement to sell tree services in Maryland) that require even more studying and training. All of this is on top of the college degrees that many of us hold in related fields such as Forestry, Horticulture, and Environmental Studies.
Our salespeople are non-commissioned, so you can be confident that the results of our professional consultations are what is truly best for your property. The trees on your property are your own private forest, and we are uniquely qualified to approach each tree as both an investment in your property and as a unique, living organism.
Free Estimate
During a free estimate, an ISA-Certified Arborist visits your property to provide a quote for basic tree pruning or removal services of an individual tree or a small group of trees. In addition, we can also supply a comparative quote for any previously identified insect or disease treatment. When the unexpected happens, our arborists are available to issue restorative storm damage quotes to help you get your trees and property back in order.
