TREE LOPPER versus ARBORIST

Why all Newcastle Arborist's are not the same! Many people are mistaken when it comes to understanding the difference between a Tree Lopper and an Arborist. Do they do the same thing? No, this is not the case?

Tree Lopping is a term used for cutting the branches to stubs or otherwise known as reducing the size of the tree. A Tree Lopper is a person to cut those branches back to stubs and reduce the size of the tree.

An Arborist is known as a Tree Surgeon. This person is certified and has had extensive training in 'Arboriculture' understanding the science behind a tree and capable of the care and ongoing maintenance of trees and plants. There are multiple levels of training ranging from Level 2 to Level 5.

Understanding the needs for your tree care?

For the maintenance and ongoing care to your trees it is advisable to contract a tree company with a Qualified Arborist who can perform the works with the understanding and knowledge of how a tree is best to be pruned or removed. There are 2 types of Arborist's:

1. Climbing Arborist - minimum Level 2 required

2. Consulting Arborist - minimum Level 5 required

A climbing Arborist is a person who performs the tree pruning or removal. They can also perform an aerial inspection, which is assessment of the trees health and safety from an aerial position.

A consulting Arborist is a person who assesses the tree for defects or potential hazards. This assessment is done from the ground.

Be certain to hire a Professional Tree Removal company, so you aren't caught out at the last minute.

Tree Pruning Pruning is an important part of tree maintenance and our climbing team have experience and a knowledge when it comes to understanding how trees grow and react to certain types of tree pruning.

Tree Maintenance

We recommend tree pruning on a regular annual basis by removing any diseased, damaged and dead tree wood which prevents insects and decay organisms from entering the tree. It is not uncommon for a dead branch to fall causing damage to property or injury to a loved one. These dead limbs are more dangerous than what you think. Annual pruning also gives our Arborist a chance to inspect your tree from an aerial position. Correct pruning

procedures create and maintain a strong tree structure.

Safe Climbing Techniques

Our climber does not wear spikes when pruning your trees. This will ensure your trees are not damaged in the process of being pruned and maintain their health and longevity.
