When it comes to taking care of your lawn, it can be difficult to know who to call. Should you hire a landscaper or an arborist? While both professionals work with plants and trees, there are some key differences between the two. At first glance, it may seem like there is little difference between a landscaper and an arborist. After all, they both perform a variation of garden work.
However, when it comes to specialized work for trees, a landscape designer may not have the proper training or equipment to carry out such work. Safety considerations are one of the main differences between landscapers and arborists. Arborists are trained to use specialized tools to safely climb and cut trees. From rigging to harnesses to aerial lift equipment, providing tree services for tall species requires unique equipment that landscapers don't have.
Landscapers take care of lawns, shrubs, gardening and light tree pruning. Arborists specialize in pruning, pruning and removing trees. They can also perform wiring and grinding of stumps. When your trees are sick, infested with pests or are dying, you can call an arborist to regain their good health. Homeowners, businesses, corporations and local governments hire arborists to plant, care for, and remove trees from property.
If you want one or more trees removed from your property, then you need the services of a professional arborist who has the skills and knowledge to ensure that no one is hurt and that no property is damaged. In summary, if your lawn needs a little care to make it look or grow better, call a landscaping company. But if your trees look sick or dangerous, it's time to contact your local tree company and you'd better call an arborist.
