Frequently asked questions about arborists near me
What is an arborist?
An arborist is a tree surgeon with higher-level qualifications which cover tree preservation and management.
What’s the difference between an arborist and a tree surgeon?
Arborists focus on tree health and management, while tree surgeons focus on the mechanical aspects of tree surgery.
What services do arborists provide?
Arborists offer all the services of a tree surgeon but can also provide professional tree surveys, reports and guidance on tree preservation.
Whether you need routine tree surgery, planting, or inspection, a certified arborist will consider all proposed outcomes before offering a solution.
When looking for an arborist in your area, here are some standard arborist services that you can expect:
Tree maintenance, pruning & removal
Tree maintenance, such as pruning and sometimes removal, can be vital for preserving the health and safety of trees. An arborist can professionally prune and maintain your trees, helping them to thrive and prosper. Trees may be trimmed or pruned for safety reasons or to ensure their long-term viability. Removal may be the only option if a tree is diseased or dying. An expert arborist will consider all relevant factors before recommending removal.
Arborist inspections, surveys and reports
Arborists can provide tree surveys, inspections and reports that include vital information regarding tree health and recommended work. Arborist surveys will detail tree age, species, measurements, height, width, lifespan, health, and practices to improve their condition. An arborist will also check for pests, disease, and structural defects. Before performing any tree surgery, they’ll make written recommendations supported by photos and evidence.
How much does an arborist cost?
The average cost of hiring an arborist in North London is £100 plus VAT per hour. The total price to hire an arborist near you will depend on the job’s complexity and location.
Do arborists cut down trees?
Yes. While an arborist will do everything they can to preserve trees, there are situations where tree removal is the only suitable option. Arborists must remove dangerous trees and those infected with pests or diseases.
Do I need an arborist or a tree surgeon?
Whether you need an arborist or tree surgeon depends on the service you require or the demands of your project. A certified arborist can provide all the usual tree surgeon services plus give expert insights about preservation and tree management. A tree surgeon can help with the more practical aspects of tree surgery, but you should hire an arborist for more complex projects.
