What Defines a...

Professional Arborist?

He is a Certified Arborist or is trained and supervised by a Certified Arborist. That alone is NOT enough to qualify as a Professional Arborist.

Safety is his number one priority for you, his crew, himself, your neighbors, and the general public.

Tree health and care is his number two priority; he doesn't use climbing spurs, gaffs, or spikes on a live tree unless the situation is an emergency, a safety concern, or only if it is a palm tree or live tree which is scheduled for removal.

He eagerly seeks continuing educational opportunities to learn all that he can regarding the science of proper tree care.  When we say "he," we also mean "she."   Some of our best arborists are women.

His next priority is YOU, what affects YOU aesthetically, emotionally, and financially.  Able Tree Services pledges to provide YOU the best quality of tree service for YOUR dollar.
