You’ve probably heard of a Gardner or Landscaper- but an Arborist is usually not in the average household vocabulary. Arborists are tree professionals and that require extensive certifications.
Arborists are trained professionals who have studied how to plant, maintain, care, and diagnose trees, shrubs, and other woody plants. They are specialized in all species of trees and shrubs to offer expert advice to grow and develop trees.
Certification
Certified Arborists have to pass an extensive exam process to earn the status of a professional tree health care expert. Learning the science of arboriculture goes beyond initial certification, as they are required to continue to learn new technology and techniques annually to remain certified.
Many landscapers can claim to take care of tree emergencies, but only a Certified Arborist provides legitimate education-based care. Cutting branches at your best guess is not proper pruning techniques and can lead to tree death. Arborists are trained to create a care plan for the best possible growth and development of your trees/shrubs.
Services Arborists Provide

Planting new trees/shrubs: Planting trees and/or shrubs takes a lot more than just finding a nice open spot. Arborists plan out the species’ growth, location for water and soil quality, and maintenance plans. Having a beautiful yard takes hard work, and Certified Arborists can help take the guessing out of it.
Plant Health Care: Arborists are tree doctors; they are able to read your plants and understand the causes of ailments as well as cures. Trees also need seasonal care to ensure they survive harsh winters and thrive in summers. Arborists have training in performing such tasks.
Emergency Care: Tree removal and disease is the last thing anyone wants to deal with, but an Arbor can help mitigate loss and provide emergency care.
Consulting: Call an Arborist if you need a second opinion on garden planning, seasonal care, removal, or any concerning signs you’ve seen in your trees or shrubs. Tree Risk: These professionals can help provide advice on preventing the risk of disease, damage, and property planning.
