Tree loppers are people who generally cut trees for a living without any formal qualifications. Arborists, on the other hand, are tree surgeons who have undertaken extensive training in all aspects of tree care. This includes species identification, risk assessment, pruning, cabling and bracing, diagnosis of tree health problems, prescription of tree health management programs, and removal of trees, tree stump and tree roots. A qualified arborist can assess trees, performing tree valuation and assist with land planning efforts on complex trees and urban forestry.
Arborists are also required to have a sound knowledge of arboriculture (the science of growing and maintaining trees). They’re well versed in different types of tree work and root systems whether you’ve got a large tree, an Australian native or other trees on your premises. When you want accurate advice, great service and a professional team, we strongly recommend the use of a fully insured arborist for your peace of mind.
