An arborist is a practitioner of arboriculture. These career professionals can cultivate, manage, care for, and rehabilitate trees and shrubs. Arborists are trained to offer a wide range of tree care services, including trimming, pruning, stump removal, fertilization, and disease and pest control.
Tree Farming and Reforestation
A tree plantation, forest plantation, plantation forest, timber plantation or tree farm is a forest planted for high volume production of wood, usually by planting one type of tree as a monoculture forest. The term tree farm also is used to refer to tree nurseries and Christmas tree farms. There are two types of reforestation: natural and artificial. Natural reforestation occurs when forests regenerate naturally after forest fires, storms, floods, volcanic eruptions or abandoned agriculture. Artificial reforestation is the creation of forests in areas that previously did not have any tree cover.
Starting a Tree Service Business
Companies that provide tree services specialize in upkeep, pruning, and removal of trees for either aesthetic or safety concerns. Buying a tree service franchise allows you to operate under a well-known brand. The business model involves paying an initial franchise fee and ongoing royalties in exchange for using the franchise’s name and receiving ongoing support. Subcontractors operate by subcontracting their services to larger companies. If you’re struggling to choose a company name for your tree trimming service, one of the best things to do is just to start brainstorming.
