Imagine if trees could talk! They’d probably say something like, “Hey, we love sunlight, but those high winds? Not so much.” While trees might not gossip like that, they do need experts to take care of them. That’s why Bergholz’s Tree Experts just made a smart move by hiring an arborist to join our team. Hiring an arborist is like bringing in a tree doctor, therapist, and personal trainer all rolled into one.
In the next sections, we’ll become acquainted with the world of arborists—covering their qualifications, the magic they bring to our team, and why our trees are smiling a little broader these days!
What Exactly is an Arborist?
An arborist, often referred to as a tree surgeon, is a specialized professional dedicated to the care and maintenance of trees. Think of them as the tree whisperers, if you will. They are the experts who speak fluent ‘tree’ and can understand their needs and ailments. But what exactly does an arborist do?
An arborist’s job involves a variety of tasks. From planting and pruning to diagnosing diseases and treating tree pests, they do it all. Their day might include applying insecticides to prevent infestations, examining soil composition, or even performing emergency tree care after a storm.
The Credentials: Not Your Average Gardener
Becoming an arborist isn’t as simple as hanging a “Tree Expert” shingle outside the yard. They are well-rooted in extensive education and training. Most certified arborists have undergone rigorous coursework in soil management, tree biology, and pest control, to name a few. They often carry credentials from notable organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), which is the gold standard in the industry. So, whether it’s a routine check-up or emergency surgery, your trees are in skilled hands.

Arborists can spot tree issues, suggest fixes, and put preventive care in place to keep your trees strong and healthy – which means fewer headaches for you and more time enjoying their shade.
