Frequently Asked Questions

What is an arborist?

An arborist is not just a tree guy or a tree doctor. With understanding of the connection between growers, landscapers, and certified arborists, Happy Tree approaches tree care with a full view of the lifelong potential and beauty of your investment.

When should you call an arborist?

Any time you’re planning to plant or care for a tree! While a landscaper has an eye for the aesthetics of a beautiful layout for your business or home/development’s outdoor beautification, it is important to have someone with an eye for the long-term health of your investment. An arborist’s goal is to develop a plan for long term tree health. Getting connected with an arborist early in the process helps create policies to maintain good health and allow your trees to be what you want them to be.
