When To Employ an Arborist

TREE PRUNING – Arborists can determine what type of trimming is best for the individual tree to preserve its wellness and improve its appearance and safety. Likewise, if pruning requires a ladder and a power saw, hire a professional.

TREE EXTRACTION – Arborists can help establish whether a tree should be removed, but normally this is a last resort. Arborists have the abilities and tools to safely and efficiently eliminate trees. Tree removal is dangerous and should be done by a tree care professional.

URGENT TREE CARE – Storms can create major damage to limbs or entire trees. These trees have to be removed or trimmed back to minimize the long-term damage to the tree as well as surrounding property. This is hazardous work and an arborist must be hired to execute this task safely.

PLANTING – Planting the ideal tree in the right location is important for the long term health of the tree. Arborists can suggest the ideal tree for the intended place and help in proper planting.

There are numerous other solutions that arborists offer when needed for example, fertilization, pest control, cabling, aeration, and lightning protection. Consulting with an arborist and building a plant health care plan will help ascertain when these services are required.
