"Arborist" gets used loosely in Greensboro. Sometimes it means an ISA-certified consulting arborist who writes reports and assesses tree health. Sometimes it just means the person running the chainsaw. Both are useful. They solve different problems.

When you want a consulting arborist

  • You're buying a house and want the big oak in the front yard assessed.
  • A neighbor's tree is leaning toward your property and you need documentation.
  • You want a long-term care plan for mature trees — feeding, pruning schedule, disease.
  • An insurance or legal dispute needs a written expert opinion.

When you want a tree removal crew

  • A tree is already down, leaning, split, or hung up.
  • A limb is on the roof, a car, or a line.
  • You need a hazard tree gone this week, not studied.
  • You want clearance pruning off the house before the next storm.
