Not everyone who works on trees in Ottawa is qualified to assess them. The practical work of cutting branches and removing trees can be learned without understanding the biology behind why certain cuts cause long-term damage or what specific symptoms indicate about a tree's internal condition. A certified arborist brings knowledge that goes beyond the practical.

The same branch, after it has partially failed, torn bark from the trunk, and created a wound that decay has started entering, is a more complex situation with more expensive consequences. Ottawa winters amplify this. Ice and snow load on a compromised branch test it in ways that summer conditions do not.
