ISA certified arborist

The ATR Standard
Certified. Experienced. Unmatched.
Not all “tree companies” are created equal
At ATR Arborist Services Inc., trees aren’t a side service they’re our life’s work. Our team isn’t cobbled together from other trades or general contractors dabbling in removals to which they have no presentable training. We are career forestry professionals, certified ISA arborists, and fire specialists backed by formal education, provincial experience, and elite level safety training.
Led by owner Anthony Rafuse, a forestry graduate, ISA Certified Arborist and with over a decade of previous service as a forestry fire fighter with the Department of Natural Resources, him and his team bring true industry knowledge not just a chainsaw and a business card.
