Tree pruning and related blog posts about tree pruning written and reviewed by experienced Urban Forest Pro arborists – all of whom are certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Urban Forest Pro will regularly post articles aimed at helping homeowners in the Portland area navigate the sometimes confusing thicket of rules and regulations regarding the process of tree pruning in the city. In our experience, many homeowners are unfamiliar with laws regarding tree pruning, so we will attempt to anticipate property owners’ questions regarding tree pruning. We’ll also focus on helping Portlanders get the biggest “bang for their buck” when it comes to tree pruning. If property owners can visualize the value Urban Forest Pro brings to the tree pruning industry, then we will consider that a victory – not just for ourselves but for property owners and the city of Portland itself. Protecting and cherishing the city of Portland’s urban forest canopy is important to us, which is why we think it’s important to have an ISA-certified arborist on every job we do. Articles about tree pruning posted on the Urban Forest Pro blog will cover the subject from multiple angles – keeping in mind that we are writing for an audience made up not of experts but of property owners who are seeking entertaining, informative articles about tree pruning in Portland, Oregon, Multnomah County, Oregon, Vancouver, Washington, and Clark County, Washington.
