What is an Arborist and why hire one?
Arborists are also known as tree surgeons - individuals and teams trained in the art and science of planting, caring for, and maintaining trees.
Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Knowledge of trees and tree safety is of the upmost importance when working with trees and hiring an arborist could be one of the best decisions you ever make.
Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Pruning or removing trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous work. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees.
