What Is an Arborist's Role in Tree Care
By Wolf Trees and Gardens|October 14, 2022
If you have trees on your property, the chances are at some point, you’re going to need the services of an arborist. From tree lopping services to detecting and treating diseased trees, an arborist is a specialist role which is far more specialised than that of a general gardening service. We’re going to look at what exactly an arborist is and what services they offer.
What An Aborist Does
An arborist is someone who specialises in the care, maintenance, and treatment of trees. They can deal with a single backyard tree to an entire forest.
Arborists ensure that trees are growing in a healthy way and can detect and diagnose signs of decay or disease even before they become apparent to others. As well as ensuring the health of trees, they also provide a range of maintenance services including tree lopping services, pruning, and cutting.
In Australia, arborists are specially trained through traineeships and job experience. Some also have undergraduate or postgraduate degrees.
• Consulting & Advice
If you are a property owner who is thinking of planting trees or making substantial changes to existing plantings, then you need to talk to an arborist. Their knowledge is invaluable when it comes to deciding on the right kind of tree for the area or soil, regulations on felling existing trees, and how to care for them.
• Tree Removal
Occasionally, trees need to be removed from an area because they are too diseased, causing structural damage or have become a hazard to people or property. On a property with large numbers of trees, good forest management sometimes requires some trees to be removed in order for the rest of the forest to thrive.
The felling and stump removal of a tree needs to be carried out by experienced arborists.
• Lopping & Pruning
You might think that pruning a tree is as simple as sawing off a few branches. This is only dangerous for you, but can also permanently damage or even kill a tree. Whether you need tree lopping services for safety or aesthetic reasons, leave it to a professional.
• Emergency Services
Most arborists also offer 24-hour emergency call-out services to remove trees that have fallen on roads, property or power lines. Or, if a tree has been damaged and looks to pose a danger to property or safety, then it needs to be removed quickly before it falls.
• Stump Grinding
Felling a tree is only part of the process. Removing the stump can be a much bigger task, especially if it has a significant root structure.
• Mulching
Using mulch is a great way to get nutrition into the soil around your garden, retain water and suppress weeds. An arborist can turn suitable garden waste into mulch for you, or provide mulch to improve your own plants and trees.
Conclusion
Arborists play a vital role in the care and maintenance of trees across the country. They are highly trained and experienced and can ensure that your trees are healthy and safe for years to come.
