When it comes to keeping your trees healthy and your property safe, there’s no substitute for expert care. Trees are living organisms that require regular attention, proper pruning, and timely intervention to thrive. That’s where a certified arborist comes in—and no one understands this better than ISA Certified Arborist Koleman Joshua Newsome of Josh Newsome’s Tree Services.
What Does an Arborist Really Do?
Arborists, often known as tree care professionals or tree surgeons, are specially trained in the science and art of maintaining trees. Their work goes far beyond cutting branches—they understand tree biology, disease prevention, structural stability, and how trees interact with their environment.
Here’s how a certified arborist like Koleman protects both your trees and your property:
- Tree Risk Assessment: Trees may look healthy on the outside but be hollow or unstable within. Arborists are trained to evaluate trees for hidden weaknesses, disease, decay, and potential storm damage. Early detection prevents future hazards.
- Professional Pruning and Trimming: Strategic pruning improves a tree’s structure, encourages healthy growth, and removes limbs that could fall or interfere with power lines and structures. Poor pruning can do lasting harm—certified arborists know exactly what to remove and what to preserve.
- Safe Tree Removal When Necessary: While removal is a last resort, sometimes a tree poses too great a risk. Whether due to storm damage, disease, or proximity to buildings, arborists safely handle removals using the right equipment and safety practices.
- Disease and Pest Management: From fungal infections to invasive pests, trees face many threats. Arborists can diagnose issues early and implement treatments that save your trees and prevent the problem from spreading.
- Tree Planting and Site Planning: Planting a tree in the right place with the right soil and spacing ensures its long-term success. Arborists help select species that will flourish in your landscape without interfering with structures or utilities.
