What Is an Arborist?

Arborists are tree care professionals who specialize in the selection, maintenance, care, and removal of trees and shrubs in residential, commercial, and public landscapes. They are extensively trained in all aspects of woody plant health, including diagnosing and treating diseases, insect infestations, and environmental problems. Arborists can safely climb tall trees to prune limbs and handle all aspects of tree maintenance, including cutting, chipping, and removing brush. They provide expert recommendations on watering, fertilizing, pesticide applications, and other cultural programs to maintain the long-term health and beauty of landscapes. Licensed by the State of Connecticut, arborists are required to stay up-to-date with the rapid advances in tree biology, care, and treatment.


Please avoid hiring unlicensed individuals like your "brother-in-law with a chainsaw" or a landscaper who is not a licensed arborist for pruning your trees. Ensure your trees receive the professional care they deserve.
