Bravo! Bravo! :)

I have a favorite arborist. I tell my clients, when I pass on his card,
that he is not the cheapest around, BUT: he's a certified arborist, he
knows what he's doing, and he pays his crew good wages with benefits.
Most of them appreciate knowing why he charges more, and most are
willing to pay more for his knowledge and experienced crew.

This is very good news, as sadly, and most unfairly, in many parts of the world, not just in the States, the majority of trained people working in most aspects of plant care are regularly more poorly paid than cmparable workers in almost any other trade/profession, regardless of the fact that it probably costs them just as much to train to the asme leval of expertise (not the best way of ensuring people give good service!)

The sort of fair play you describe is certainly heartening.
