    Why Hire a Certified Arborist?

    Expertise and Knowledge

    Certified Arborists possess extensive knowledge about tree biology, proper pruning techniques, and disease management. They are trained to identify and address various tree issues, ensuring the health and longevity of your trees. This expertise is crucial for maintaining the beauty and safety of your landscape.

    Safety

    Tree care can be dangerous, especially when dealing with large trees or those near power lines. Certified Arborists are trained in safe work practices and are equipped with the necessary tools and equipment to perform their tasks safely. Hiring a certified professional minimizes the risk of accidents and property damage.

    Proper Tree Care

    Improper tree care can lead to long-term damage or even the death of a tree. Certified Arborists follow industry standards and best practices to ensure that your trees receive the care they need. This includes proper pruning, fertilization, and pest management, which are essential for the health and growth of your trees[3].

    Tree Health Assessments

    Certified Arborists can conduct comprehensive health assessments of your trees. They can identify signs of disease, pest infestations, or structural issues that may not be apparent to the untrained eye. Early detection and treatment of these problems can save your trees and prevent costly removals[1].

    Customized Tree Care Plans

    Every tree species has unique needs. Certified Arborists can create customized care plans tailored to the specific requirements of your trees. These plans include recommendations for watering, fertilization, and pruning schedules, ensuring that your trees thrive in their environment[1].

    Environmental Benefits

    Healthy trees provide numerous environmental benefits, such as improving air quality, reducing energy costs by providing shade and enhancing property values. By hiring a Certified Arborist, you contribute to preserving and protecting trees in your community, promoting a healthier environment for everyone.

    Long-Term Investment

    Trees are a long-term investment in your property. Proper care and maintenance by a Certified Arborist can extend the life of your trees, ensuring they continue to provide aesthetic and environmental benefits for years to come. This investment in professional tree care can also increase the value of your property.

    ”Bringing Knowledge and Expertise to North Coast Trees” is the motto of McKinleyville-based Cutting Edge Tree Service and Solutions, which is approaching its one-year anniversary. Owner Erik Tjossem is a certified arborist.

    ”When someone is hiring a tree service company, they need to look for certain qualifications. One is to see if a certified arborist is on staff and to make sure to check what licenses and certifications and level of training the company offers,” said Tjossem. “There are various certifications and I chose the International Society of Arborculture because it is one of the most trusted certifications. I am also a member of the Better Business Bureau.”

    Tjossem takes pride in his work and that of his crew. “As far as I know I am one of a handful among the tree services in the area that has a certified arborist on staff,” he said. “And as stated on my website, I am the only company where an arborist is present supervising every aspect of the job from start to finish.”

    Specialists in the art and science of tree care, certified arborists must have at least five years of experience working in the field before they qualify to be rigorously tested. Once certification has been achieved, arborists are required to maintain current CEUs (current education units) from the ISA, which ensures the progressive and constant education of a tree care professional and that they are current in maintaining the industry’s standards.

    Tjossem graduated from College of the Redwoods and majored in forestry. One of his classmates whose family had a tree cutting business hired Tjossem. He worked for them for eight years and in March 2012 decided to start his own business. Providing for his family and establishing a business that will allow his children to grow up here and live here as well as creating jobs and a stable future for his employees is very important to Tjossem.

    Recently, Tjossem was visiting the Sequoia Park Zoo with his wife and kids and he ended up contacting the Zoo to see if he could volunteer his company’s services. There is a new exhibit that required small removals of Redwoods and Tjossem and his crew helped out. “I am so grateful to live in such a beautiful community, and this opportunity allowed me to give back,” he said.The video player is currently playing an ad.

    Even though the industry is an expensive venture, Tjossem says his love for proper care of trees and his goal to be “Humboldt’s premier, trusted tree service company” keeps him going. Cutting Tree Edge Service offers 24 hour emergency service and will take any job from Trinidad to Southern Humboldt.
