An Arborist is a trained tree care professional responsible for the planting, maintenance, assessment, and removal of trees and shrubs. Arborists inspect trees for health and safety concerns, perform pruning and tree preservation work, diagnose pests and diseases, and recommend appropriate care solutions. They use specialized equipment and follow industry safety standards while working at heights, operating machinery, and managing tree-related risks. Arborists help maintain healthy, safe, and sustainable landscapes in residential, commercial, municipal, and utility environments.
