Your Trusted ISA Certified Arborists
A healthy tree serves many purposes in your local community. A way for homeowners to ensure their trees stay healthy is by hiring an arborist. Professionally trained arborists know how to properly maintain trees for the safety of the public and the health of the tree. Trees are an investment that require proper tree care; however, pruning or removing trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous work. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees.
What is an Arborist?
Unlike your average groundskeeper or gardener, an arborist is an expert in tree planting, care, maintenance, and removal. They are trained in the science of trees and cater specifically to tree needs and health. In fact, they even have their own organizations!There are organizations for tree care? Yep! Say you need a tree trimmed or removed. You probably check online and find all kinds of options, some cheaper than others, but are they all certified? Wait, people need certifications to handle trees? If you want them to understand the science of tree care as much as they do the manual labor the profession also requires, then yes! By going with a certified arborist, meaning they belong to an organization like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association, you know that this individual or company takes their profession seriously.
What is a Certified Arborist, Should I care?
An ISA arborist certification is a nongovernmental, voluntary process by which individuals can document their base of knowledge. Certification provides a measurable assessment of an individual’s knowledge in the competencies needed for proper tree care.When a professional becomes an ISA Certified Arborist®, they should be recognized by their peers and the public as a tree care professional who has attained a generally-accepted level of knowledge in areas such as tree biology, diagnosis, maintenance practices, safety, and other subject and practice areas within the tree care profession as identified through periodic job task analyses.They must also continue their education to maintain their certification. Therefore, they are more likely to be up to date on the latest techniques in arboriculture.
What is the ISA? And What Does It Mean?
The ISA (or International Society of Arboriculture) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the professional practice of arboriculture and greater awareness of the benefits of trees and proper tree care. To stay ISA, an arborist must not only complete a comprehensive examination but also maintain their accreditation. These credentials last three years, at which time the arborist must earn minimum amounts of ISA Continuing Education Units to ensure they are on top of any advancements and changes within the industry and the machinery. They also need to prove that they are up to date on the latest information in modern tree care. Certified arborist companies often showcase the logo to these accredited organizations on their website. To make sure your selected arborist is in fact qualified and insured, you can check the International Society of Arboriculture’s database. You never know who could be scamming you, even for something as unassuming as tree care! You’re already spending enough on tree care, so don’t waste your money on someone not qualified who will either do a poor job or endanger your trees and your own safety, as well as others around you. Don’t consider hiring an arborist who fails to become certified unless you want to end up wasting more time and money in the long run.
Services an Arborist Can Provide:
- Pruning can be necessary for various reasons including, improvement of health, appearance and safety. An arborist can determine what type of pruning is necessary.
- Tree removal can be expensive. Consider hiring an arborist when your tree is dead or dying, an unacceptable risk, causing an obstruction, crowding other trees, or located in an area where there’s new construction.
- Removing or pruning storm-damaged trees can be dangerous, but a professional arborist can perform the job safely while reducing further risk of damage to people and property.
- Getting your new tree off to a healthy start will help the tree mature to its full size and ensures it will provide environmental, economic, and social benefits throughout its lifetime. Some arborists plant trees, and most recommend species that are appropriate for certain locations.
- Plant health care or preventive maintenance.
- Cabling and bracing for added support to branches with weak attachments.
- Soil aeration to improve root growth

TREE TRIMMING / PRUNING / SHAPING & THINNING
Keep your trees beautiful and healthy with our regular trimming and pruning services.If you’re a homeowner who cares for their yard, chances are you’ve considered tree trimming and tree pruning before. Both are excellent services within the tree industry. The differences are subtle, though. Pruning is used to remove unnecessary branches. Trimming, on the other hand, promotes healthy growth. Both services are performed at separate times of the year, using vastly different pieces of equipment, to provide a better aesthetic & healthier tree. Understanding the difference, though, is crucial.
SAFE TREE REMOVAL
Tree removals are performed to eliminate dead and dying trees as well as those that have become hazardous. Removals can also be useful in eliminating competition for light and space so that the remaining plants are better able to grow and thrive. In some cases, trees may also be removed to allow for new construction, home additions and to provide clearances with those structures. Get safe and reliable tree removal services from our team of ISA-certified experts.
STUMP GRINDING & REMOVAL
Aside from being an eyesore, your tree stump could threaten your yard and home. Ensure the total health of your garden with our stump grinding services.

Ask The Arborist
Do You Give Free Estimates?
Yes, Estimates Are Free!
How Much Will It Cost to Trim My Trees?
Investing in your property also includes the upkeep of your landscape, and with proper services you can save a lot in the long run. Giving an estimate without first performing an evaluation for a professional diagnosis is difficult. Every situation is different and trees vary in condition. Our consultations are free and delaying tree trimming can cost you big time in the future!
What Is The Best Season to Have My Trees Serviced?
We always suggest year-round tree maintenance. In terms of having professional services, it depends on what your trees and shrubs may need at the time, and we’re happy to provide an evaluation. For routine trimming, it has historically been considered safest to prune in the winter, but light pruning can be done any season. It is always better to prune ornamental fruit trees in their dormant season.
Other tree maintenance services, such as fertilization or insect protection treatment are generally performed at specific times throughout the year. While fertilization services are recommended in both spring and fall, insect protection services must generally be timed to coincide with the proper vulnerable lifer stage of the organisms being targeted, Though the treatments themselves must be well times, plant healthcare services can usually be evaluated year round!
When Should I Consider Tree Removal?
There are a variety of reasons why your tree might need to come down. Trees can be dead or dying due to poor watering, disease, and pests. They can also have root systems that are interfering with the foundation of your house or even your water supply. For safety, we recommend having one of our professional arborists perform tree removal. Look for these signs your tree may need to be removed:
- Lack of growth.
- Prolific deadwood, particularly in the outer extremities of the tree.
- Severe trunk lean.
- Large cracks or splits in major branches or trunks.
- Signs of disease or decay such as cankers, cavities, & fungi.
- Roots causing structural damage to your home, buried pipes, or driveway.
What Is Stump Grinding Service?
Stump grinding is the most efficient way to remove a tree stump. It is the process of chipping the stump away with the use of a stump grinding machine.
Tree stumps are an unsightly after effect of tree removal and, if left in place, can become a safety hazard, impact lawn equipment, and serve as the new home to pests and disease.
Our stump grinding services include:
- Surface Grade Stump Grind: We will grind the stump down to approximately 6 inches below surface grade of the immediate stump area.
- Deep Grade Stump Grind: We will grind the stump down to approximately 20 inches below surface grade of the immediate stump area.
Pricing for tree stump grinding service depends on the size of stump, site location and access, and material being removed. We will have buried utilities marked prior to service to determine if the site is safe to grind. You will want to avoid placing another tree in the same area, but grass may be planted where the stump removal occurs with topsoil, grass seed, and proper watering.
How Fast Can I Schedule An Appointment?
Investing in your property also includes the upkeep of your landscape, and with proper services you can save a lot in the long run. Giving an estimate without first performing an evaluation for a professional diagnosis is difficult. Every situation is different and trees vary in condition. Our consultations are free and delaying tree trimming can cost you big time in the future!
Is Debris Clean-up a Part of Your Services or is There An Additional Clean-up Fee?
All our services include cleanup. We are often told by customers that we leave their yards cleaner than when we started their project! We use a wood chipper to dispose of branches and leaves, hand rakes to clean up your yard, and blowers to clear paths and sidewalks. We also have equipment to haul away large wood logs.

“Wilson’s Tree Service was great. The owner came out and discussed our concerns and provided a plan and quote for what was recommended. They removed a dead tree, pruned our other trees, treated them for bugs and cleaned everything up. They showed up on time, all the workers were professional and respectful of our property. It was amazing to see them actually clime up into the tree to trim it up! The cost was reasonable for the work completed. I highly recommend this company for tree work!”

“I’m an observing neighbor across the St. from their tree removal job. So the neighbor’s in his house but the Wilson crew is right out my kitchen window. I watched for an hour. These men work. I never saw anyone who wasn’t cutting, gathering, grinding, helping another or doing something towards completion. No breaks not even 5 seconds. I’m an old guy and I have never seen productivity like these men demonstrated. They left the site like they had never been there. When I need tree work it will be Wilson”.

“I’m so glad to get to let anybody know who needs tree work, that Robert and his crew, headed up by Scott, totally nailed it! The huge globe and corkscrew willows are too large for me to hand prune myself, anymore. They showed up for the appointment right on time in the morning and, with the exception of some well-deserved breaks, stayed steady on the job until into the afternoon. They did wonderful work, thinning the crowns, maintenance pruning and even doing structural cuts, which was very timely, since the next day in Gville we had some really strong wind and weather. Robert’s pricing is competitive, but really fair, in light of the professional service performed. the Arborist methods they use (no “topping”) allow for tree service to be scheduled any time of year, so grab ’em when they’re available! Thanks to you guys again”!

“We had two large trees trimmed and pruned by a crew from Wilson Tree Works this time. We have had stump grinding done by them in the past, which also went very well. They are a great group. The owner was very professional and friendly when he came out to quote the job. I enjoyed him sharing his knowledge and his plans for the trees, and the quote he sent came back quickly and well priced. The crew that came to do the work was an absolutely wonderful group. The crew leader took the time to go through the whole plan with me one more time before they started. The whole group was prepared to start the second we finished talking, and wasted no time, but also did not rush the job, they did it right. They were well staffed, well prepared, super polite, and very dedicated to the task and making sure that the trees turned out perfectly. The job that they completed for us, as well as the clean up they did afterward was spot on, and we couldn’t have asked for any better. I would not hesitate to call Wilson Tree Works again for any tree maintenance needs that we have in the future, and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing any of the services that they provide”.

“Great customer service from start to finish. Very rapid response for quote and scheduling of work. Robert offered several options to address my trees on my property, base on our budget, no pressure and helpful assessment. Prior work on some of my trees resulted in no damage during our recent winter storms the others did not fair well. Excellent service overall, would highly recommend Wilson Tree Works for your arborist needs”.
