Atlanta Tree Care

Tree Care by definition, should include language from ANSI standards. Many companies profess to engage in this activity, but Caldwell lives it. The formation of "Tree Care" centers around science and tree biology.

Proper tree care revolves around Arboricultural knowledge and experience. An individual usually needs to be mentored by many other Arborists and become familiar with the proper arboricultural practices as identified inthe ANSI standards.

Knowing these standards by the book is essential but practicing them under the supervision of competent personnel for years is a key element required in order to become a Certified Arborist. It is important for the company in which the individual trains and improves their knowledge to be a TCIA Accredited Company (which Caldwell Tree Care is).

A properly trained Arborist can identify tree assets, liabilities, and needs. An Arborist with experience also knows how to say, "I don't know the answer, but I will find out."

You see, certification in this field is rooted in (areas of knowledge below are as identified by the International Society of Arboriculture, at the basic certification level) Soil Management, Identification and Selection, Installation and Establishment, Safe WorkPractices, Tree Biology, Pruning, Diagnosis and Treatment, Urban Forestry, Tree Protection, and Tree Risk Management.

Not every practicing Arborist is an omnipotent walking encyclopedia of trees. However, companies that encourage a culture of learning and mentorship tend to problem-solve better.
