FAQ: Arborists and tree surgeons

Below we will aim to address some of the most commonly asked questions about arborists and tree surgeons. If you cannot find the answer you are looking for, we invite you to contact us today and we’ll help you as best we can.

What is the difference between an arborist and a tree surgeon?

An arborist (also called an arboriculturist) is a professional who works with trees and shrubs and offers a variety of services related to tree care, such as pruning, trimming, planting, and disease prevention and treatment. 

Tree surgeons, on the other hand, are trained in more extensive tree care services, such as the removal of trees, cutting back and dismantling of large trees, and general tree maintenance.

While we refer to ourselves as arborists at Lakeside Trees and Stumps, we do offer an extensive variety of tree care services – so, technically, we are qualified arborists and tree surgeons.

What services do arborists provide?

Arborists can provide a range of services related to trees and shrubs, including pruning and trimming, planting, tree and shrub disease prevention and treatment, root pruning, and cabling and bracing. Some arborists specialise in tree removal and transplantation. 

At Lakeside Trees and Stumps, we provide an extensive list of services.

What are the benefits of hiring an arborist?

Hiring an arborist can provide many benefits. An arborist who is knowledgeable and experienced can provide proper and timely care for trees, shrubs, and other vegetation, and can save you time and money by avoiding costly mistakes. 

Properly cared for trees and shrubs can also add aesthetic and monetary value to a property, whether residential or commercial.

The primary benefit to hiring a professional arborist, above all, is safety. Many tree-related tasks (such as tree removal or stump grinding) can be very dangerous. As such, it’s always worth outsourcing such requirements to professionals who are highly trained and have extensive experience using the appropriate equipment.

How can I find a qualified arborist?

When looking for a qualified arborist, it is important to find someone who is experienced and certified. It is also important to check the arborist’s insurance and liability coverage to ensure that they are protected in case of injury – or indeed accidental damage to your property.

How much does an arborist cost?

The cost of services provided by arborists in Australia can vary significantly depending on the size and scale of the task in question. Given that we offer such a wide range of tree care and maintenance services; the best approach is to contact us directly or use our ‘request a quote’ service. That way, rather than offer you generic averages that may not apply to your situation, you can instead receive an accurate and up-to-date quotation for comparison.

What should I ask an arborist before hiring them?

When you are looking for an arborist to assist you on your property, it is important to ask about their experience, qualifications, and insurance coverage. It is also important that you inquire about the types of services offered and the specific steps that will be taken to ensure that the job will be completed as safely as possible. 

Following that, request a quote so that you can go away and compare with your other prospective arborists. 

Remember, don’t go on price alone. If a service is so cheap that it’s almost too good to be true, it usually is. Instead, look for social proof, and testimonials, and go with your gut when making your final decision.

What happens to any excess logs/timber after you are finished working?

At Lakeside Trees and Stumps, we take pride in the safe and sustainable disposal of any and all waste that we collect after a job. If you would prefer to use the remains as firewood, then that is perfectly fine. However, if you would like your property cleared afterwards, rest assured that we are very thorough in our cleanup and that all waste will be disposed of through the proper channels.

What is a tree care plan?

A tree care plan is a proposal put together by a professional arborist detailing all of the tree care related tasks needed to keep your trees happy and healthy all year round. Whether you plan to carry out these tasks yourself (e.g., tree pruning), or if you’d like to hire a professional to take care of them for you, it’s always worth putting a plan together so that you can properly understand what is required to ensure that all of the plant life on your property is properly maintained.
