Both consulting arborists and practicing arborists are trained professionals, but their roles differ significantly:

  • Practicing Arborists: Handle the physical aspects of tree care, including tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and root pruning.

  • Consulting Arborists: Specialize in tree assessments, arborist reports, risk assessments, and technical or advisory tasks. They often hold advanced qualifications, such as a Diploma in Arboriculture (Cert. V).

Many arborists perform both roles, offering a combination of practical and consulting services. At GoTreeQuotes, we connect you with the right professional based on your specific needs.
