Certified Arborists

You’ve probably heard the term in your search for the right Spartanburg tree service, but you may be wondering what exactly a certified arborist is.

Here’s the gist: The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), an organization that promotes professional practice of arboriculture and raises awareness on Spartanburg tree benefits, awards arborists with certification credentials. ISA Certified Arborists® are Spartanburg tree care specialists who have shown a commitment to the profession through practical work experience and accredited education.
