What It Means to Be an ISA Certified Arborist

At LECM, we’re proud that our arborists hold certification from the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) — the international standard for professionalism and technical expertise in tree care.

An ISA Certified Arborist has demonstrated a deep understanding of the science of arboriculture through rigorous training, examination, and ongoing education.

Why It Matters for Your Property

Trees are living assets that require informed, responsible care. When you work with an ISA Certified Arborist, you can trust that your trees are being managed by someone who:

  • Understands tree biology and structure — ensuring every pruning or treatment decision supports long-term health.
  • Follows industry-approved safety practices to protect your property and surrounding landscape.
  • Can identify issues early, such as disease, decay, or structural weakness, reducing risks and costly damage.
  • Provides expert guidance for planting, preservation, and removal with environmental care in mind.

Ongoing Commitment to Excellence

ISA certification isn’t a one-time achievement — it requires continuous learning and recertification.

Our arborists stay current with the latest standards, environmental best practices, and tree science research. This commitment ensures that every client receives safe, professional, and environmentally responsible service.
