What ISA Certification Means

The Industry Standard
for Tree Care.

The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) is the recognized global authority on professional tree care. ISA certification requires passing a comprehensive examination covering tree biology, soil science, disease and pest diagnosis, pruning, cabling, and safety — and maintaining certification through ongoing continuing education.

Having a crew that can swing a saw and having a crew that understands what they’re doing to a living tree are two very different things. Our arborists know the difference between a cut that helps a tree and one that causes long-term harm.

  • Comprehensive knowledge of tree biology and physiology
  • Trained in ANSI A300 pruning standards
  • Hazard assessment and risk evaluation expertise
  • Diagnosis of tree diseases, pests, and disorders
  • Cabling and bracing per industry standards
  • Ongoing continuing education required for recertification

Why It Matters for Trimming

Improper pruning can permanently damage or kill a tree. ISA-certified arborists understand proper cut placement, pruning ratios, and how different species respond — making cuts that promote health rather than cause long-term harm.

Why It Matters for Removal

Even removal requires expertise. Understanding tree structure, weight distribution, and failure patterns determines how a tree comes down safely. Our certified arborists direct every removal operation.

Why It Matters for Assessment

Diagnosing tree health problems requires trained eyes. ISA-certified arborists recognize decay patterns, disease indicators, and structural defects that go entirely unnoticed by the untrained observer.

What It Means for You

When you hire Husky Tree Services, you're hiring professionals who understand trees — not just how to cut them down. Every recommendation is based on knowledge, not guesswork.

Common questions

ISA Arborist FAQ

What does ISA certified mean?
ISA stands for International Society of Arboriculture — the global professional organization for tree care. ISA-certified arborists have passed a comprehensive exam covering tree biology, pruning, disease, cabling, and safety, and must complete continuing education to maintain certification.
Not every tree company has ISA-certified arborists. Certification means the person making decisions about your trees has demonstrated knowledge of proper tree care standards — not just how to operate a chainsaw.
Our arborists hold ISA certification. Crew members who are not certified work under the direct supervision of certified arborists on every job.
Our pricing is competitive with other professional tree companies in SE Wisconsin. ISA certification reflects the quality of the decision-making behind the work, not just a premium charge.
