Why Should you Hire an Arborist?

An arborist is someone who is trained and licensed in the diagnosis, treatment , and prevention of tree diseases, disorders, and pests. Some duties of an arborist include:

Pruning trees for safety, health, growth, increased light, form
Guidance in selection of new trees, planting, and mulching
Application of pesticides when necessary
Maintaining the health of mature trees
Recommending strategies to preserve existing trees during construction projects
Installing cables to trees with poor structure
Determining whether a tree needs nutrients and providing them

Connecticut law requires that an individual be a licensed Arborist to advertise, solicit and contract work such as pruning, cabling, or applying pesticides. The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection defines arboriculture as:“As defined in the arborist law, “arboriculture means any work done for hire to improve the condition of fruit, shade, or ornamental trees by feeding or fertilizing, or by pruning, trimming, bracing, treating cavities or other methods of improving tree conditions, or protecting trees from damage from insects or diseases or curing these conditions by spraying or any other method.” The licensed arborist is a supervisory pesticide applicator, with respect to the use of pesticides. For all intents and purposes “certificate” means “license.””
