Why Should You Hire a Licensed Arborist?

Arborists are tree care professionals who are trained in all aspects of woody plant health care. Arborists are required to be licensed with the State of Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection through a series of educational courses and testing. After receiving licensure, an arborist must maintain a certain level of continued education in order to stay up to date with the latest developments in tree care, treatment, and biology.

An Arborist’s main task is to help their customers with overall assessment, maintenance, care, and removal of trees and shrubs. They are typically able to perform the tasks they prescribe such as tree removal, pruning, cabling, anchoring, and more.  An arborist may also make suggestions about treatment for insects, soil fertility, and other aspects of plant health.

In the state of Connecticut only companies with licensed arborists are authorized to make assessments regarding the health of a tree. You must also be a licensed arborist in order to trim, cable, and/or otherwise treat a tree to improve a tree’s condition.

Poor pruning cuts completed by a company without an arborist on staff can be detrimental to your trees and may ultimately result in a greater expense for tree removal down the road.

Licensed arborists and their staff have undergone extensive training to ensure that your pruning is done properly. These techniques include making proper pruning cuts that take place outside the branch collar to ensure the tree can effectively heal from the wound. An arborist will also take into account the age of the tree, whether it is affected by other adverse conditions, and the time of year, before making suggestions about what to prune.

If this consideration is not taken, improper pruning practices could result in severe damage or decline to your tree.

In the long run it is best to ensure your tree care is completed by a company with a licensed arborist on staff who is overseeing daily operations. We have seen more than our fair share of poor pruning cuts!

When speaking with a company to set up an initial site visit, ask if they have a licensed arborist on staff overseeing the company’s tree care procedures.  If the company has a licensed arborist they will be able to provide you a license number given to them by the State of Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
