Landscapers with Arborists

Do You Mix Landscapers with Arborists?

If you do not have an idea of the services of landscapers and arborists and you are mixing up their jobs by hiring the wrong professional for your desired service then here you can have a precise view of which services are offered by a landscaper and when is it apt to hire a certified arborist in Mumbai. Landscapers and arborists belong to different professions. Though they both take care of natural surroundings, each of them specializes differently.

Landscapers handle horticulture as their specialized field of activity. They take care of your land by designing and reshaping natural features on the land and by installing man-made fixtures. This management of landscape and hardscape is the proficiency of landscapers. Additionally, landscapers install a sound irrigation system for the land to be cultivated. Ensuring an appropriate water drainage system is part of their job as well. Whatever is involved in preparing and maintaining garden beds like insulating soil, mulch cover, pruning of shrubs, etc., comes under the responsibility of your hired landscapers.

On the other hand, arborists offer plant health care services. They are like doctors for trees and possess skills and expertise to assess the health conditions of plants and trees. Accordingly, they advise tree care solutions to the caretaker of the tree. If asked, they can also do the needful to improve the health of the trees on your property. As against landscapers, arborists are equipped with tree pruning techniques and transplanting trees and can do the same for your trees if required after tree risk assessment done by them. You can rest assured about safety with them because they are trained in climbing trees and are well versed in the technicalities and the procedure involved in the process. Also, they have the tools required for the purpose. Furthermore, they grind stumps and clear the debris for you after the pruning or transplanting the trees thereby, reducing your hassles involved in the whole process. Furthermore, a tree arborist in Mumbai can also do the cabling of vulnerable branches to support trees from decaying. Pest control and injection of fertilizers are other tasks performed by an arboricultural consultancy in India to maintain trees in good and healthy condition. Arborists not only maintain your existing trees but also give species selection and planting advisory so that you can add aesthetic value to your property by planting beautiful trees that can grow and survive healthily in given weather conditions.

Thus, the role of both the landscapers and arborists is distinguished and you should hire the one depending on the type of service you desire.

Know the Health of the Tree in Your Premises:

All those who have a tree or multiple trees in their compound must be loving the beauty the trees add to the property besides enjoying the fresh air amidst them. To continue admiring the natural beauty and enjoying the benefits of trees in your compound, you should realize the importance of tree care. Unless you take good care of your tree, the health of your tree may get adversely affected. Thus, in addition to nurturing your tree like a living baby, you should know about your plant health by seeking the advice of a professional tree arborist in Mumbai. Tree care experts in Mumbai can visit your premises for doing the health check-up of your tree and guide you accordingly on how to take care of your tree and which safe tree retention and protection strategies can be adopted for ensuring good health of your tree. If you are unsure that whether current health status of your tree requires an appointment with arborist Mumbai for a health check-up or not then inspect following parts of your tree:

  • Leaves: Leaves are the best and the biggest sign to indicate the health condition of your tree. The leaf color, texture, and quality should be consistent over the years. If the leaves are turning pale or have holes then it can be a sign of damaged tree or bugs in the tree. If leaves of your tree are falling rapidly in the spring or summer season then also your tree may be sick and needs an appointment with certified arboriculture expert.
  • Fungus: Another clear indication of the rotting of your tree is fungus appearing on outside of your tree. 
  • Bark: It may be difficult for a layman to figure out the health of the tree by looking at the bark of the tree but an expert from plant health care services can easily tell it merely by looking at the bark of the tree. Usually, old barks of old trees peel off and new barks arrive in their place. But instead of it if you find a smooth trunk then it means that your tree may be at a stage that is beyond healing. So, it is advisable to immediately get appointment with arboriculture expert for the sake of your tree. Needle holes in barks are also signs of a bug attack on a dead tree thereby demanding attention.
  • Branches: As long as branches are bearing leaves, the tree is healthy otherwise it may not be. Do not forget to check all the branches so that you can make out if your tree is partially or wholly unhealthy. When you peel the branch of a tree and see a different color than a lush green, then also it is a matter of worry.
  • Roots: For a layman, inspecting roots can be a challenge but it is an easy task for an established arboricultural consultancy in India. Small branches sprouting from roots indicate the extent of damage caused to your tree due to chemicals, excess water, construction/excavation projects in your area or other reasons. 

If any of the above problems are present in your tree and tree care experts in Mumbai recommend you for removing your tree then do not delay in doing so because a dying tree can become a serious threat. Remember, trees are also living beings and need care. They can shower benefits only if they are healthy. Else, they can become a cause of damage to people or property around. So, maintain the good health of your tree. You can regularly seek tree care solutions from an arboricultural consultancy in Mumbai to ensure a longer and healthy life of your tree.
