An arborist by definition, is someone who cares for and maintains trees.
Other common names for an arborist is tree lopper, tree doctor and tree surgeon. They all essentially mean the same thing although the correct term is arborist.
Where to find a good tree lopper
The issue with tree services all over Australia is that all companies advertising tree removal services are not professional arborist.
This creates a huge issue for customers. It would be like hiring a plumber or electrician who have zero formal training.
So there are a few things to look out for:
- Certificate III Horticulture (Arboriculture)
- 20 Million public liability insurance
- 5 years experience
These are the bear minimum all companies you engage should have.
