An arborist is a certified and trained professional who specializes in improving and sustaining the health and appearance of individual trees and shrubs. Arborist also understand and appreciates the value of trees and shrubs and is trained to inspect them effectively to identify causes of plant problems. An arborist is a skilled technician who can treat to resolve or prevent damage, and remove trees and shrubs and operate trade-specific equipment and tools.
The most competent arborists receive certification by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), which is an internationally known professional organization. That promotes the professional practice of arboriculture through research, technology, and education.

Yes. Not only to they improve your property value. Pruning is essentially guiding young and medium-aged trees to develop good branch architecture which is key to sustainable tree plantings. Good architecture created through structural pruning is enormously beneficial and should be the primary objective for pruning. Helping the tree develop better architecture can reduce the chance for failure when nature gets nasty. This benefits the tree owner and the tree and should be the main reason we prune. The benefits of pruning far outweigh the negatives when done correctly— with the tree in mind!

The objective of a Plant Health Care (PHC) program is to maintain or improve the landscape’s appearance, vitality, and safety, using appropriate and responsible methods and treatments. We believe that trees offer economic, environmental, and social benefits, and here at Oak Bros, we have created programs focused on these aspects.
Susceptible trees and shrubs are vulnerable to attacks by pests. Some diseases can quickly and easily kill within a short period of time while others are chronic and long lasting. Some diseases cause no injuries at all. Our trained PHC technicians are trained to identify signs of disease when evaluating your trees and shrubs and will provide solutions and treatment to ensure their long-term health.
Every three to five years is a good rule of thumb, but it could be less, depending on the tree. Storm events may also cause damage that needs to be addressed immediately. It’s a great idea to have our Arbor Consultant evaluate your trees annually.
