When Do You Need a Qualified Arborist

Anyone who owns a decent sized garden has a recurring problem – mess. Even if you like gardening, at times you simply do not have the time. At such a time, while you are looking for someone to help you out, you are faced with two options, an arborist or just a cheap tree removal. Now that question only you can answer as the decision would be based on the type of service you want. If it is the simple case of tidying up the garden, clear the leaves and prune the hedges you can hire the local gardener. However, if you are looking for some heavy duty jobs, a qualified arborist needs to be called onto the scene. 

Now what do we mean by ‘heavy duty’? While shrubs and bushes are easy to deal with, the trees are a whole other story. Even you can trim the bushes when you feel like it. If you have even the most basic gardening knowledge, you will be able to spot the rotten branches and the infested branches that need to be pruned. However, high up in the air, the branches of the taller trees are well beyond reach for us. The qualified arborist comes armed with cables and other tree climbing gear that take them right to the scene of action. There they can assess the condition of the branches and prune accordingly. The bigger issue arises when the entire tree is damaged or infested. Then you need to fell the tree. Imagine such a huge mass coming down with its entire weight, that too, near your property. It can cause injury, damage or both!

In such cases the arborists with the help of all the advanced equipments are able to carry out the procedure quickly and safely. Before felling, the arborist also needs to consider whether you are even allowed to cut that particular tree species or not. For that you need someone who knows his trees thoroughly and is able to spot even the tiniest differences. This will help distinguish between the protected and non-protected trees saving you legal complications in future.

Qualified Arborists are Simply Tree Doctors

Despite maintaining a healthy diet, good exercise and an overall healthy lifestyle, no one can guarantee good health. The same way, the trees might be well taken care of still they may develop some diseases. Now trees although living, are the most difficult pets to have! They do not cry, they do not whine, they do not stop eating, no outward expression of their disease. They just wither away and die. In fact, at certain times it is even tough to tell whether the tree is sick or not, the degree of the disease and the cure. That is the why it is important to call in qualified arborists to assess the situation and deliver the necessary treatment for the disease. And that is a very unique talent as the layman is absolutely clueless about the kind of ailments a tree can have.

Cats and dogs are mammals; they have similar internal systems as us so when they fall sick we can often guess without calling in the doctor. The dog sneezes too much we know that they have a cold. But trees are so biologically different from us, it is impossible to guess. Trees sometimes have symbiotic relationships with other plants and animals, sometimes this relationship is parasitic. While the former allows both to survive with each others’ help, in the latter scenario, the parasite usually kills the host. At that point all you can do is call in a cheap tree removal and fell the tree.

Qualified arborists are like tree vets. They know all the different species of plants, their strengths and weaknesses. They can tell when the tree is sick and needs assistance and when the situation is beyond repair. Their in-depth study reveals all you need to know about the trees in your area and what you should do about them. It often happens that while pruning inexperienced pruners cut off healthy branches hurting the plant rather than helping it. The arborist can accurately detect weakness and sickness and can remove these sections so that the tree grows stronger and healthier than before.
