When it comes time to take charge of your landscaping, many homeowners start with the trees. But they often question who they should hire for the job. In the industry of tree care, there are mainly two options: certified arborists and standard tree service technicians. Both are qualified to provide tree care and tree removal services for residential and commercial properties, but one is more specialized (and expensive) than the other.

Simply understanding the difference between the two will help you determine when you need an arborist and when you don’t. This knowledge can save you hundreds of dollars from the very beginning, before you even receive an estimate! Continue reading to learn more about arborists, and how to know which specialist to hire for your tree service needs.

Arborists Charge More

Arborists are more expensive to hire because they are more specialized. They have spent several years in formal education, and even longer working in the industry, learning how to accurately advise and assist homeowners, commercial property owners, schools, local councils, municipalities, and even national parks with routine tree care and major tree work. They are equipped to provide tree removal for very large or mature trees, as well as, insect identification and treatment, and tree disease diagnostics and treatment. For these reasons, they are more expensive to hire.

You really only need an arborist for major or specialized tree work, such as removing a large or mature tree, removing a dangerous tree, diagnosing and treating tree illnesses and infestations, and perhaps custom landscape design. But if you simply need routine tree care, such as tree trimming, pruning, stump grinding, stump removal, and anything else that falls under general tree service, then you do not need to hire a specialized arborist. Choose a local and trusted tree care company instead, and you will instantly save yourself hundreds of dollars!
