What is the difference between an arborist and an ISA Certified Arborist?
Arborist – a general term for anyone who specializes in tree care or tree services. The term does not specify any particular level of competency.
Certified Arborist – An ISA Certified Arborist must have at least 3 years of experience in tree care, or a 2-year degree in arboriculture + 2 years experience, or a 4-year degree in a related field + 1 year of experience; plus, pass a 200-question multiple choice exam, earn 30 CEUs every 3 years to recertify, and pay all fees associated with education, testing, and recertification.
How long does it take to receive an estimate?
In order to give you a proper estimate, one of our ISA Certified Arborists will have to first inspect your property. At Green Forest Tree Service we can usually schedule a consultation within 7-10 business days; however, this completely depends on the time of year and scheduling demands. It is best to complete our Free Estimate Form or call (303) 396-0500.
When is the best time of the year to prune a tree?
Generally speaking, it is best to prune most trees in late winter, between February and March. During this time of the year, the trees are still dormant and the wound closure will be fast if pruning occurs before the new growth emerges.

What is tree cabling and why do you cable trees?
Cabling is when you use cables to stabilize a tree that is growing in an unsustainable manner. Cabling must be performed by a certified arborist because if the cables are not installed properly, the tree’s trunk or branches can be strangled. A certified arborist will know where and how to position the cables in order to save the tree.
How can you tell if a sick tree can be saved?
It is best give us a call at (303) 396-0500 and schedule a time for a certified arborist to visit your property. Alternatively, you can fill out our Free Estimate Form and upload a photo of your tree.
