An ARBORIST is the top of the line in the tree service industry. Each state sets the requirements to be licensed. In Mississippi, advanced schooling and years of qualified hands-on experience are a pre-requisite to taking the TEST, usually in a University setting. On successful completion, a PROFESSIONAL LICENSE is issued.
An ARBORIST deals with the “health and safety of individual plants” and offers a variety of services such as:
- An Arborist is required in Hattiesburg, Ms. by several HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS to “sign off” on tree removal.
- Disease identification, deep root fertilization, pruning, and planting.
- TREE SPRAYING to remove invasive species and mitigate disease to save desirable trees.
- Overall landscaping issues.
