Find an Expert Arborist to Care for Your Trees

Residents of Santa Barbara live in a city with a mild Mediterranean climate. A walk down State Street is an opportunity to sample a nice meal made from regional produce. The weather makes it easy to grow lots of things. Trees like holly-leaved cherries and western sycamores do well here, but if you need further help, reaching out to a skilled arborist will ensure that they do even better.

Their Services

One of the most important things to know about hiring an arborist is the kind of services provided. Arborists know how to keep your trees healthy. An effective arborist provides help such as pruning and trimming. They can also help with services such as tree removal and stump grinding. If you don’t see a specific service listed, contact the arborist directly. They can help you come up with a solution.

Look for Licensed Professionals

In order to become an arborist in California, prospective candidates must complete several requirements. They need to have at least three years of experience in the field as a journeyman. Working full-time allows candidates to get familiar with the care of trees in the state. It also provides each professional with a body of knowledge they can tap into in order to help their clients. Once they’ve completed this process, it’s time to take an exam. The exam covers all facets of tree care and ensures that the arborist can help keep trees healthy.

Prior Experience

Each person has a unique yard. All parts of the yard need special care. That’s where an arborist can come in handy. Ask your arborist to help you come up with an overall plan for the entire property. They can identify trees that are in good shape and trees that may be in need of further care. They can also help you figure out what steps you’ll need to take in the future in order to keep your trees in good shape. This can be a dangerous job. Ask them what safety precautions they’re going to take to keep themselves and your property safe.

Good Communication Skills

Speaking about the trees on your property requires the communication of highly specific terminology. Arborists need to convey information about why a cracked trunk needs to be removed quickly. They also need to explain how to balance the nutrients in your soil to ensure your trees flourish. The arborist should be able to tell you precisely what to do and create a timeframe to help you make it happen. Look for experts who can write well and provide detailed, easy-to-understand directions to care for your trees.

"I absolutely recommend them. They did a great job on a variety of trees, were very professional and courteous and cleaned everything up. I had a very large overgrown pepper tree and they trimmed it beautifully. I also had a shapeless pear tree and another almost dead tree. They did a great job with all of them. Bart, their arborist, was very knowledgeable and also listened to my requests and concerns."

"I had four palm trees I wanted removed from my yard and after meeting with Bart a time was agreed upon. His crew was on time and highly professional. They were very careful not to damage anything around the trees during the removal. They also removed all debris and ground the stumps. The whole job went fast and was priced very reasonably. Bart was also very knowledgeable and helpful as to guidance on keeping my other trees healthy and trimmed. I highly recommend Economy Tree Service."
