| Art of Tree Trimming |
When you think about tree trimming, it's easy to assume that one tree trimmer is just as good as the next. However, there’s a significant difference between your neighborhood tree service and professional Certified Arborists with advanced training. While both can technically trim trees on commercial properties, only Certified Arborists bring the expertise to truly enhance and protect the health of your trees in both the short and long term. In today’s post, we’ll explore three crucial ways that Certified Arborists stand apart from basic tree trimmers, and how their specialized approach can make all the difference for your property.
**A DEEP ROOTED UNDERSTANDING OF TREES**
The most noticeable difference between Certified Arborists and basic tree trimmers is their knowledge. Certified Arborists are highly trained professionals with extensive education in tree biology. They understand how to nurture tree health by considering growth patterns, climate conditions, and other factors that contribute to a thriving landscape. Certified Arborists are also skilled at spotting invasive pests and tree diseases and providing tailored treatments to tackle these problems efficiently. On the other hand, basic tree trimmers typically lack formal education in these areas, offering only a surface-level understanding of trees, diseases, or proper treatment methods.
**PRECISION PLANTING AND PRUNING**
When it comes to planting and pruning trees, the techniques used can determine whether a tree thrives or struggles. Basic tree trimmers often plant trees too deep or prune too aggressively, causing unnecessary harm or even irreversible damage. Certified Arborists, however, use a science-backed approach. Their training ensures that they prune trees in a way that encourages healthy growth, removes the risk of diseased branches, and protects against pests. They follow ANSI A300 standards to avoid harming the tree’s structure, which means trees are less likely to suffer from environmental stressors. Whether planting new trees or caring for mature ones, Certified Arborists know how to create optimal conditions for lasting health and beauty.
**COMMERCIAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY STANDARDS**
In commercial settings, safe practices are paramount—which is why Certified Arborists are often in high demand for industrial sites, municipal properties, and other large-scale projects. Their specialized safety training not only protects them as they work but also minimizes liability for property owners. By following strict safety protocols and utilizing personal protective equipment like goggles, helmets, and harnesses, Certified Arborists deliver peace of mind along with their expertise. Basic tree trimmers might not maintain the same standards, potentially exposing your property to safety risks and liability due to poor performance, lack of proper equipment, or inadequate training.
