Questions & Answers About Our Tree Service In Geelong

The tree service business is based on the knowledge and skills of licenced arborists (called Arboriculturists, Loppers, Tree Surgeons, or Tree Doctors). Professional arborists do important tree care tasks like pruning, removing trees, trimming, and getting rid of tree stumps. This arborist work must be done by trained professionals because it is dangerous, often requires strong equipment, and requires expert knowledge to keep trees healthy and in good shape. Not everyone who works in trees is a trained arborist. This article will answer some of the most common questions people have about these important workers.

You must hire a certified, professional arborist to check on the health of your trees, keep them in good shape, and cut them down when necessary. Only an arborist should be trusted to do these jobs because they have the skills, certifications, insurance, and experience to do them correctly and safely. For health assessments, untrained or uncertified tree workers might miss important signs of a tree’s decline. This kind of mistake can lead to wrong assessments, which could mean that trees that shouldn’t be cut down are, or that dangerous trees are left in place.

Only a Tree Surgeon should be in charge of dangerous tasks like trimming and removing trees. Climbing, cutting, and removing a tree, especially a big, fully grown one, is very dangerous and can put people, animals, and property at risk. You need a professional arborist because they keep you, your community, and the environment safe.

Before they start a job, our team of Arborists will do a safety check. Any contractor who doesn’t put safety first should be avoided. Our team will come up with a plan for the job, which will include a way out in case of an emergency. So that the arborist can plan this work well, you need to let them know about any underground services, underground water tanks, or other potential dangers or points of concern.

Make sure all people on-site stay away from the work area and follow the arborists’ instructions. Failure to do so could result in an accident or injury to the arborist or spectators. If the work is being carried out close to power lines (within 3 metres), the arborist needs to be accredited to do so, and he or she should be able to provide evidence of this certification.
