What is an Arborist?
Well-Cared-For Trees...
Are Attractive and Can Add Considerable Value To Your Property.
An Arborist is a specialist in the care of individual trees. Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Hiring a local arborist is a decision that should not be taken lightly. 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 on the other hand can be a significant liability. From identifying trees that need to be removed, to regular tree pruning and maintenance and ongoing tree risk assessment, proper tree care for the various trees on your property can be dangerous work. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees.

Tree Removal
Although tree removal is a last resort, there are circumstances when it is necessary. An Arborist can help decide whether a tree should be removed. Arborists have the skills and equipment to safely and efficiently remove trees. Removal is recommended when the tree:
- Is dead or dying
- Is considered irreparably hazardous
- Is causing an obstruction that is impossible to correct through pruning
- Is crowding and causing harm to other trees
- Is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen
- Is located in an area where new construction requires removal
