why hire an ISA certified arborist to care for your trees, Sound Tree Care
By Eric Ledford 08 Jul, 2023
Many people ask us if they need an arborist to take care of their trees and why, so I thought I’d address that question in this article. The simple answer is it depends on what you need. The state of Washington has put in place strict laws and regulations to preserve, expand, and protect our urban forests. Many of those regulations require you to enlist the help of a registered tree service and an ISA-certified arborist. But before I get into the nitty-gritty of what types of tree care you need an arborist for, let me explain what a certified arborist is and why they are the best person to care for your trees, hedges, and woody landscapes.
