An arborist is a specialist in the care of trees. Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Hiring an arborist is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns.
We are often asked, "What is an Arborist?" An Arborist is someone who cares about trees and the environment. This person will have trained for a minimum of 3 years and then specialised in a particular field; much like a GP may specialise in paediatrics. Arborists are also called "Tree Doctors" and "Tree Surgeons".
Arborists are proud of their work, and have an abundance of knowledge about trees. They are very professional, and they can be expert witnesses for tribunal hearings and litigation.
Our senior Arborist is always attending seminars to keep up with the latest techniques and new information.
Often, Arborists are confused with tree-loppers. Tree loppers might cut down any tree that has a problem. Arborists have the experience and education to suggest alternatives. Most times there are much better (and cheaper!) solutions available to you.
Just ask any qualified Arborist!
