Searching for an Arborist #934006

Asked June 03, 2026, 10:32 AM EDT

Good morning: I have 5 tall trees in the backyard. I am looking for someone to come and check these trees for integrity and provide advice regarding removal of branches that are dry and at risk for falling down. I love the shade they provide and the habitat they create for the birds. We enjoy watching all the species that come our way. Do you have some names and telephone numbers that you could refer me to? Thank you in advance.

Hi, 

You can search for one in your area on the ISA website that lists certified arborists by ZIP code.

We do not keep names of arborists or their service areas, nor can we recommend specific businesses.
