Brazzi Smith of Precision Tree Care & Removal is Now an ISA Certified Arborist
We’re thrilled to announce that Brazzi Smith, owner of Precision Tree Care & Removal, is now an ISA Certified Arborist! This prestigious certification from the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) recognizes his expertise in tree care, safety, and health. This is a major milestone for both Brazzi and our company, reinforcing our commitment to providing the highest quality tree care services.
But what does being a Certified Arborist really mean, and why does it matter? Let’s break down the key differences between an arborist and a non-arborist tree service.
What is an ISA Certified Arborist
An ISA Certified Arborist is a tree care professional who has undergone extensive training, passed a rigorous exam, and adheres to a strict code of ethics. This certification ensures that an arborist:
- Understands tree biology, health, and maintenance best practices
- Can properly diagnose tree diseases, pest infestations, and structural risks
- Uses industry-standard techniques for pruning, removal, and tree preservation
- Prioritizes safety, environmental responsibility, and long-term tree health
To maintain certification, arborists must continue their education and stay up to date on the latest research in tree care.
Arborist vs Non-Arborist Tree Service: what’s the Difference?
Not all tree service providers are trained professionals, and hiring an uncertified tree company can lead to improper tree care, safety hazards, and even property damage. Here’s how an ISA Certified Arborist like Brazzi Smith stands apart from a non-certified tree service:
| Category | ISA Certified Arborist | Non-Arborist Tree Service |
| Training & Expertise | Extensive education in tree biology, health, and care | May have general experience but lacks formal education |
| Tree Pruning & Maintenance | Follows ANSI A300 industry standards for proper pruning | May use improper techniques that harm trees |
| Safety & Insurance | Adheres to strict safety protocols; fully insured | May lack proper insurance, putting customers at risk |
| Environmental Responsibility | Focuses on preservation and proper tree care | Often prioritizes removal over preservation |
Hiring a certified arborist means you’re getting expert advice on whether a tree needs to be removed, pruned, or treated—not just a recommendation based on what makes the most profit.
