🎓 What ISA Certification Actually Means for Your Property, from the Team at JL's Tree Service
Most tree companies will tell you they're certified. The better question is how many of their crew members actually hold that credential when they show up to your job.
ISA Certified Arborist status — issued by the International Society of Arboriculture — requires a minimum of three years of documented field experience, a formal written examination, and ongoing safety training to maintain. It's not a course you take over a weekend.
What this means on a job site:
• Every decision - from cut replacement to equipment positioning - is made by someone with verified, tested expertise
• Risk is assessed systematically, not by instinct or habit
• Safety standards are current, not based on how things were done years ago
At JL's Tree Service, every arborist on our crew holds ISA Certification — not just the owner or a lead hand, but every person working on your property. For us, it's a standard we've built the entire crew around, because the credential reflects exactly the kind of people we want doing this work.
When you're hiring someone to operate heavy equipment around your home, your fence, and your family — it matters who's on the crew, not just who owns the company.
