Trees require regular maintenance and care to ensure healthy growth and development. In some cases, it is necessary to call in an experienced professional tree service provider, such as a certified arborist, for assistance.


What Does a Certified Arborist Do?


A certified arborist is a professional tree specialist who has extensive experience and knowledge in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of trees. They understand how to safely prune and trim trees for aesthetic purposes; they are also knowledgeable about insect and pest control, as well as disease prevention.


Here are five key instances when you should consider hiring a certified arborist:


1. Tree Pruning and Trimming

One of the most common services provided by an arborist is pruning and trimming. When trees become overgrown, they can be hazardous to people, buildings and surrounding landscapes. Certified arborists are trained to safely remove dead or diseased branches, as well as correct the shape and size of a tree.


2. Planting New Trees

Finding an arborist to assist you in planting new trees is a great idea for several reasons. When planting new trees, it is important to select the right species for your property in order to maximize growth potential. A certified arborist will know how to select the right tree for your environment and inform you of the best soil preparation and maintenance practices that guarantee success. 


3. Tree Removal

In some cases, trees must be removed due to disease, pest infestations, or interference with other structures. Certified arborists have the experience and knowledge necessary to safely remove a diseased tree without damaging surrounding landscapes or buildings.


4. Insect and Pest Control

Certified arborists are knowledgeable about identifying and treating insects and pests that can damage trees. They have access to the latest treatments and products for controlling pest infestations and can advise you on the best methods of prevention.


5. Disease Prevention

Certified arborists are also experienced in diagnosing and treating common tree diseases such as Dutch elm disease, oak wilt, and other fungal diseases. They can provide advice on how to prevent the spread of tree diseases and how best to protect your trees from further damage.


It is important to hire a certified arborist when caring for your trees in order to ensure that you are taking the right steps for their long-term health and development. The
services of a certified arborist can save you time, money, and stress in the long run. If you have any questions or concerns about the care of your trees, be sure to call a certified arborist for help.
