Arborists are also known as tree surgeons as their industry bears a close resemblance to how a surgeon performs on patients. Arborists are usually hired to perform the less glamorous but absolutely necessary work: trimming branches, pruning trees and getting rid of stumps or limbs. In fact, if you need to cut down a large tree in the middle of a forest and there are no professionals around, you can call an arborist instead. They will bring their A-game to the job and you can rest assured that your tree will be in good hands with a Tree Surgeon Gloucester such as Geoffrey Urch.
However, not all tree surgeons start their careers this way. Many actually start their own companies to specialise in specific services such as arborist services. Tree surgeons are able to remove branches that are broken or have been damaged by adverse weather or pests and diseases, as well as removing entire trees that may be dangerous.
Besides the important work they do, tree surgeons should also have some kind of hands on experience with planting trees. Believe it or not, many tree surgeons start their careers working directly with nurseries or other plant companies. It is their job to plant the trees, so knowing how trees are planted is kind of a necessity of working in the arborist business. An experienced arborist will have no problem planting and maintaining trees, so make sure you choose a tree surgeon with plenty of experience with planting trees.
