What is an Arborist and What do They Do?

At Tallow Tree Services, we specialise in taking care of your trees, no matter what they need. That includes arborist services that ensure that all of the trees in your outdoor space are healthy and look beautiful. Whether you need pruning, tree removal or just some advice about taking care of your trees, we are here to help. There’s a bit of a difference between an arborist and a regular tree trimmer. Here’s what you can expect from an arborist in Byron Bay.

What is an Arborist?

In addition to taking care of your trees, our arborists also study the function and structure of trees. They also understand the health of your trees, including diseases, their growth patterns and how to prune and care for trees that are sick of dying. They have a generalised job that encompasses many things to do with trees, rather than just the pruning or removal of trees. Keep reading to find out more about what one of our arborists can do for you.

Pruning Trees

Each species of tree and each individual tree has different pruning needs. Our arborists can assess those needs and make sure that your trees are trimmed accordingly. Proper pruning should be done regularly because it promotes the good health of your tree and gets rid of any dead limbs, as well as discouraging pests.

Tree Removal

Though tree removal is usually a last resort, an arborist is the one to call if you need to take out a tree in your garden. Unless you simply want the tree gone because it’s in the way or you don’t like the way it looks, we carefully consider the health of the tree before we recommend getting rid of it completely. It’s important to let an arborist do this because we have the proper equipment and training to do it safely. Just as arborists can remove trees, they can also plant trees so you have options for replacing trees that must be taken out.

Emergency Tree Care

Sometimes heavy winds or inclement weather can damage a tree. In these cases, it’s best to call the professionals because we can take care of the problem in a safe way. Branches or limbs that are knocked down can damage power lines or structures so don’t try to take care of the issue yourself.
