Why Choose a Certified Arborist?

Certified Arborists are individuals who achieve a level of knowledge in the art and science of tree care through intensive study and then a qualifying examination developed by some of the nation’s leading experts on tree care. Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. Well cared for trees are attractive, functional, safe, and can add considerable value to your property. Improper tree care can take several years to correct itself and, in some cases, may never correct itself. During consultations, a Joshua Tree arborist helps educate you about the care needed for your landscape trees. We urge our clients to never be hesitant to ask a question. If we don’t know the answer right away, we will do our best to find the answer and outline care procedures.
