 Re: Counterfiet in Tree Care
this is a very important issue.Personally I believe an arborist should be able to climb period.I also would like to have words with the isa for having a certified line clearance arborist credential.If you do line clearance like I see your not an arborist your just an uneducated[or careless person]with a chainsaw and a bucket truck.Personally even if it cost me money If i was doing line clearance I would take the time to do it right that means instead of topping it gets removed or thinned and pruned back to collars.I'm not certified yet but I have a deep care for trees and learned how to do it right before I got of the ground and started doing treework.Personally i also believe if a bucket can reach a tree then it can be climbed which eliminates my need to buy a bucket.i know of at least 2 companies around here that have buckets and claim treecare but offer topping.Even those that don't offer topping usually don't have a clue or don't care.i seem to be the closest thing to an arborist in live oak.I know of one guy in welbourn that is a tcia member but that means very little to me.I know very little of landscaping and about the most i've done were a few rock gardens and planting some plants and a few trees.I couldn't tell you to much about turf or pesticides but that comes from never have used them. just my 2 cents. |
