Certified Arborists in Rochester, MN

Maier Tree and Lawn: Rochester, MN Certified Arborists, Tree Care, and More!

An arborist by definition is an individual who is trained in the art and science of planting, caring for, and maintaining individual trees.

An arborist is a specialist in the care of individual trees, as opposed to a forester who cares for stands of trees. Arborists are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Hiring an arborist is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Pruning or removing trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous work. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees. (ISA, Why Hire an Arborist?)

International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) arborist certification is a nongovernmental, voluntary process by which individuals can document their base of knowledge. ISA operates without mandate of law and in an internal, self-regulating manner. Certification provides a measurable assessment of an individual’s knowledge and competence required to provide proper tree care. Certification is not a measure of standards of practice and it cannot guarantee or ensure quality performance.
