Have you ever heard of an arborist? When you have trees on your residential property, an arborist is a tree professional you should be in contact with at least once a year or more, as recommended by Forbes. Read on to find out more about these important tree service providers.

Diagnose and Treat Tree Illnesses

According to Go Tree Quotes, over 5 million trees are planted daily. Unfortunately, trees can sometimes get sick. An arborist is the closest thing to a tree doctor that you can find, and they can quickly diagnose sick trees and provide treatment to restore their health. Schedule an appointment with an arborist for timely tree checkups, so they can diagnose tree ailments early on to prevent the illness from spreading from a branch to the rest of the tree or other trees on your property.

Prune Trees

Arborists are specialists in pruning and trimming your trees. They know the exact location to cut without hurting the tree, and the way they trim can help your trees grow better each year. If you have fruit or flower-bearing trees, professional pruning may help produce a better yield each season. Proper pruning is also the first step in preventing tree illness and damage.

Handle Tree Removals

Unfortunately, sometimes illnesses can ravage a tree before the work of an arborist can help. Trees can also suffer damage in other ways, such as from lightning strikes or accidents. An arborist can check on these trees and make the final decision on whether they can still save the tree or if removal is necessary. If the tree is considered a hazard, or one of its larger branches is at risk of falling, an arborist can provide tree removal services to help take care of it.

Grind Stumps

When a tree has been removed, its stump is left behind. Stumps can sometimes pose a safety hazard, putting those on your property at risk of tripping and falling. They can also increase the risk of pest infestations. Stump grinding breaks down the stump of the tree as much as possible to keep your yard hazard-free.

As you can see, arborists are vital for tree health and management. These professionals are available to prevent and treat tree ailments, provide pruning services, remove hazardous trees, and grind stumps.
