Who shows up
Certified arborists, not just a crew with a chainsaw.
The International Society of Arboriculture certifies arborists who pass its exam and keep up their training. Board Certified Master Arborist is the highest credential it gives. Both are on the Ratliff team, so the person looking at your tree knows what they are looking at.
