No. Money will never buy position on this website. No matter how much a company spends on marketing, it cannot buy a higher score. A higher score can only be earned through education, experience and client satisfaction.

It is highly likely that this person has not updated their profile with the International Society of Arboriculture. Specifically, they MUST state in their profile the website for the company that they work for. It isn’t enough for them to be a credentialed arborist, that credential MUST be linked to a company otherwise we cannot verify it.

In most parts of the country, no. That’s one of the main reasons we created this directory: to help the public understand each company, what it’s capable of, and whether it has “crossed its t’s and dotted its i’s.”

Search for the most dangerous jobs in North America and working around trees, as a forester or arborist, is usually near the top of the list. That’s why proper coverage matters. If a worker is injured on your property and there’s no coverage, you could be exposed. WSIB / workers’ compensation is also separate from liability insurance, which covers damage to your property, so it’s worth asking for both.

A lot.

A tree service company does the hands-on work: pruning, removals, stump grinding, planting, cabling and bracing, storm cleanup and more. If you need someone who is guaranteed to dig in and get their hands dirty, hire a tree service company.

If you want an independent opinion first, or need a report for the city or a dispute, it’s usually best to work directly with a consultant.

In either case, it helps to make sure you’re working with a Certified Arborist or Board Certified Master Arborist.

We work hard to keep every profile accurate, but we can’t promise it’s perfect. Our information comes from public sources: each company’s own website, the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) directory, WSIB clearance records, and Google reviews. We can misread or miss something, and companies change over time.

If anything on a profile is wrong or out of date, the company can verify its listing and update it for free, or email us at hello@arborproof.ca. We review every correction request and fix confirmed errors promptly.

Please check anything important, such as insurance or credentials, directly with the company before you hire.
