GROWING PASSION
FOR TREE CARE
Arader Tree Service has been building our reputation by developing long standing customer relationships through quality tree care and our involvement in the communities we serve for well over 40 years. Our professionalism is recognized throughout Montgomery, Delaware, Chester, and Philadelphia counties.
THE ROOT OF OUR SUCCESS
The foundation of Arader is our team of certified arborists. Each arborist has successfully passed the ISA certification exam and annually maintains their certification through continuing education.
This exam combined with decades of experience enables each arborist to properly diagnose issues and make recommendations to care for your trees and shrubs. They also have extensive knowledge of pests, diseases and plant identification. As well as the current industry standards and the resources to problem solve.
Proper care enables a newly planted tree to grow and mature allowing it to become a valuable asset to the landscape. Mature trees also require care to extend their longevity, value and interest to your property. We look forward to having one of our team meet with you to discuss your trees and shrubs and begin caring for and protecting your investment.
