On staff, we have certified arborists knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are both trained and equipped to provide proper care. Our certified arborists are continually training in the latest arboriculture techniques to maintain their certification. Hooper’s veteran staff is ready and able to assist both commercial and residential customers.
