Common questions about our arborist services across British Columbia.
What does an ISA certified arborist do?
An ISA certified arborist is a trained professional who specializes in tree care — performing risk assessments, diagnosing diseases, recommending pruning strategies, evaluating structural integrity using Resistograph testing, and providing expert guidance on tree preservation during construction.
Do you offer emergency tree services?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency tree response throughout Kelowna, the Central Okanagan, Vancouver, and the Lower Mainland. For fallen trees, storm damage, or immediate safety concerns, call (778) 583-8986.
What areas do you serve in British Columbia?
We serve two main regions: Kelowna & Central Okanagan (including West Kelowna, Peachland, and Summerland) and Vancouver & Lower Mainland (including North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, and Squamish).
What is Resistograph testing?
Resistograph testing is an advanced micro-drilling technique that detects internal decay, cavities, and structural weaknesses within tree trunks. It provides precise wood density data without significant damage, helping arborists make informed safety and management decisions.
