When it comes to tree care, not all services are created equal. In fact, hiring the wrong company can lead to damaged trees, unsafe conditions, or costly repairs. That’s why homeowners in Warren and Hunterdon Counties trust Midstate Tree—we bring certified arborists and 24+ years of local experience to every job.
🎓 WHAT IS A CERTIFIED ARBORIST?
A certified arborist is a tree care professional who has passed extensive exams and met experience requirements through the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). They’re trained in tree biology, proper pruning techniques, disease identification, risk assessment, and more.
This certification ensures you’re working with someone who knows how to properly care for trees—not just cut them.
🧰 WHY CERTIFICATION MATTERS
Anyone with a chainsaw can call themselves a tree trimmer—but that doesn’t mean they understand how to protect your trees or your property.
Certified arborists:
Understand how and when to prune without harming the tree
Can spot early signs of disease or infestation
Use proper rigging and safety techniques
Know which trees need removal versus recovery
Follow ANSI A300 pruning standards and local NJ regulations
Hiring one helps you avoid irreversible damage and liability issues.
🌿 HEALTHIER, LONGER-LIVED TREES
Improper cuts or over-pruning can seriously harm a tree’s health. Certified arborists know exactly how to shape trees for strength, stability, and longevity—ensuring they grow well and remain safe for years to come.
They also consider seasonal timing, soil health, and species-specific needs in every decision.
🛡️ SAFETY FOR YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY
Tree work is dangerous. Certified arborists are trained in climbing, cutting, and removal techniques that keep your home, family, and neighbors safe. They also carry proper insurance, so you’re not left liable if something goes wrong.
Whether it’s storm cleanup or routine trimming, expertise matters when lives and property are at risk.
