Consulting a local arborist can be surrounded by mystery for those who have never done it before. While you might picture an arborist as someone who likes to spend all their time with trees or someone who hugs trees for a living, the truth is that arborists come in many forms and styles like any other professional. Whether you have a large tree that needs to be removed safely from your yard or you’re considering planting new trees in your field and want to ensure that they’ll be okay to plant with the other vegetation around, it can be hard to know where to start in your first meeting with an arborist.
Before you meet with an arborist, you should contact a few local ones to get a feel for pricing and what their specialties may be. Some arborists may have specialized skills while others may have a broader skillset. If you need them to complete a complicated task, you should find someone who has years, if not decades, of experience in the field. Before you meet with them, you can gather information about the problem and decide what your goals are for the meeting. You should also ask if the consultation is free and related questions.
