What is The Difference Between Arborist and Landscaper?

When you plan to hire a professional to take care of your property, you should first understand the type of expert that you need. Many property owners are unable to distinguish the difference between an arborist and a landscaper. The average person might think the difference is negligible, but, in reality, the two professions are remarkably unique.

We do not want you to hire the wrong person and end up wasting time and money without receiving the results you were looking for. If this article leaves any questions or concerns in your mind, then call Sesmas Tree Service to consult with a professional. We are happy to help.

If you have an open plot of land with little to no trees on it and your intention is to beautify that property, then it is a landscaper that you will likely need to hire. Clients who are looking for a lawn installation or maintenance, weeding, mulching, irrigation, garden bed preparation, and similar work can contact a landscaper for their services. A landscaper can turn your dry or bare land into a beautiful garden by choosing and planting appropriate flowers, turning your grass lush and green, and designing the layout.

Landscapers do small projects and large projects alike. Whether you are a homeowner with a small yard or a large corporation with company grounds that needs to be maintained or improved, a landscaper can help.

What Do Arborists Do?

Arborists, on the other hand, care for mature trees and perform tree removals, pruning, trimming, cabling, stump grinding, and more. As you might suspect, arborists are trained to handle dangerous equipment and work at heights. When you are ready to plant trees, shrubs, or other perennial woody plants around or on your property, it is an arborist that you should call. An ISA-certified arborist is trained in the field of arboriculture and are also referred to as tree doctors. When your trees are diseased, pest infested, or dying, you can call an arborist to bring it back to good health.

I absolutely love the work ethic displayed by Sesmas employees. They work hard and fast! My property looks amazing! This is the second time in 5 years that I have used their services and customer satisfaction is still at the top of their list.

Evita Fikes

Sesmas did a terrific job for us on a project completed today involving the removal of 18 problem trees. Project was completed exactly as promised, skillfully and for a reasonable price. Mike Fowler was excellent in overseeing the work and his crew was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Kathryn Arvidson

These guys were on point. Verified the request before beginning (always good, because the trees aren't coming back!). Then made sure the trimming was done to exactly where I wanted it. On time, fast, and completely cleaned up after - was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Josh Pitchford

Like landscapers, arborists work on both small and large projects. Homeowners, businesses, corporations, and local governments hire arborists to plant, take care of, and remove trees on the property.

Bringing the Two Together

While there is some overlap in the work they perform, arborists and landscapers work together to turn your yard or property into an aesthetically pleasing sight. The landscaper works on the lower level, turning your grass greener and flowers prettier. The arborist shapes up the trees and makes sure they are healthy and sturdy.
