Why Hire an Arborist

 

You might feel like hiring an arborist is an unnecessary expense. After all, trees are not going to die on their own and they don't need regular medical care, right? Well, the truth is that even healthy trees can become dangerous. They can fall over unexpectedly or cause damage to your home with roots or falling branches. Hiring an expert at least once every few years is likely worth it because of all the ways they can help you avoid these problems:

Arborists are trained to maintain the health and beauty of trees

Arborists are trained and licensed to maintain the health and beauty of trees. They have a wide range of knowledge about trees, from identifying diseases and pests to knowing the best pruning techniques for each species. They can also recommend fertilization regimens for specific plants, as well as help you determine if any trees are in danger of falling into your home or onto power lines.

You should hire an arborist if:

• You need someone to identify tree species or growth patterns (e.g., spur vs. leader)

• You need someone who is knowledgeable about plant pathology (e.g., diseases)

Arborists know how to properly maintain and remove trees.

Arborists are trained to know how to properly maintain and remove trees. They are the experts in the field of tree care, meaning that they have been trained on how to properly prune, treat, and remove trees. They can also tell you if your tree needs removing at all. If you have a diseased tree or one that is posing a danger due to its size and location, an arborist will be able to help you determine whether it's best for them to trim down the branches or take down the entire structure altogether.

Arborists have specialized tools.

The tools of an arborist are specific to their job. Unlike a landscaper, who may use a pruning saw to cut back branches and clean up hedges, an arborist uses heavy-duty chainsaws that can cut through trees and other large parts of nature. These tools are crucial for removing trees safely, which is why you should always hire an expert if you need this service done right.

There are other specialized tools as well—a measuring device called a caliper helps arborists to measure the diameter of tree trunks so they know how much wood they have available for removal or transplantation. Climbing gear like ropes and harnesses help with safely climbing up into big trees or bringing branches down from high places without endangering anyone below on the ground. Ladders are also useful for getting up into other plants like shrubs if needed; again, this requires both knowledge about what plants need as well as training in using these tools safely so no one gets hurt along the way!

Arborists can increase property value.

If you’re thinking of buying a home, do yourself a favor and look for one with mature trees. Trees and shrubs can increase the property value of your home by as much as 20%. Why? Trees help cool down your house in summer; they provide shade and wind protection in the winter; they make all the hard work you put into maintaining them worthwhile.

Trees are also a good investment because they can help sell or rent out your house at higher prices. People love to live in houses where there is plenty of green space around them, so having trees on your property makes it more desirable than others.

There are many reasons you should consider hiring an arborist when it's time to do some tree work at your home.

First and foremost, an arborist has specialized training that makes them an expert in trees. They know how to properly maintain and remove trees in a way that will reduce the risk of damage to you or your property. Arborists also use specialized tools such as cranes and bucket trucks for more complicated jobs like removing large branches from high above ground level.

Some homeowners may be able to handle basic tree maintenance themselves, but if you need help with high-risk situations like felling a large branch or trimming back overhanging limbs on power lines, it is best if you hire someone who knows what they are doing. This will ensure the safety of everyone around while not putting yourself at risk by trying something too dangerous on your own! When hiring someone else makes sense financially as well (and we think it does), then there really isn't much question about whether or not this decision should be made; just call us up so we can get started right away!
