We’re Certified Arborists
Arborists have an expansive knowledge of trees and proper tree care techniques. Here at JRP Services, we’re proud to say that we’re certified arborists. We are certified members of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). So what is the ISA all about? Well here’s what the ISA to say about their core values, their certified arborists, and the safety measures that they teach to ISA members:
The ISA’s Core Values
The ISA promotes tree growth, while supporting the environment and our communities: “The ISA is focused on research and the dissemination of results to contribute to a world with healthier trees, sustainable communities, and a green economy.”
ISA Certified Arborists
The ISA trains arborists to perform tree care tasks properly: “Arborists are recognized as qualified, competent, and safe tree care professionals who are sought out the by the public, government organizations, and other professions.”
ISA Safety Policies
The ISA promotes safe tree care measures through their training: “Professional tree care practitioners have the required knowledge, training, and expertise to perform proper tree care safely.”
In short, our certification ensures that our tree care efforts give your trees their best chance to flourish. We employ ISA standards in many of our tree care services, from trimming trees properly to maintain their health, to cutting down old trees with care, so that your property and our employees remain safe. We also receive continuing education to maintain our certification — ISA arborists must recertify every three years to maintain their title. You can learn more about the International Society of Arboriculture from their site.
We’re Bonded & Insured
We’re bonded and insured, so you can rest assured that in the rare event that an accident does occur, you won’t have to worry. While you might not think this is a big deal, we assure you that it’s truly important when you’re selecting a tree care contractor. There are numerous contractors out there who aren’t insured and bonded. That means that your property isn’t protected in case something happens, and it may mean that you’re held liable if a contractor should hurt himself.
Now, think about all of the tasks that we take care of: trimming high up branches, grinding down stumps with heavy machinery, cutting down fully grown trees (that may fall on your property or passersby if not performed correctly), you name it. All of these tasks have some inherent danger — danger that we strive to minimize. But, accidents do happen, no matter how much precaution you take. That’s why we’re bonded and insured. Even when accidents do happen, you can rest assured that we’re bonded and insured, so your property’s value is protected.
We Have the Tools for the Job
The right tools make easy work, even for the hardest projects. Plus, when we use the right tools for your tree care needs, we improve the safety of our processes. Some of our heavier equipment includes a cherry picker, stump grinder, a front end loader, bulldozer, and skid-steer (for clearing trees from properties). We also, of course, have a variety of smaller hand tools, from pruning shears to chainsaws. So, no matter the size of the job at hand, we have the equipment necessary to do the job right, and to do the job efficiently.
