FAQ's

There are two primary levels with arborists. A level 3 certification in Arboriculture is the most common. This is for the “working arborist” who carries out the day-to-day removal and trimming tasks. A level 5 Diploma in Arboriculture is more for consulting arborists. They specialize in arborist reports for council, tree inspections and tree safety audits.

They are both essentially the same trade. Another common name used more in the UK than in Australia is a tree surgeon. All are arborists, but the name varies depending on your country. An arborist is a universal name given to a professional studying Arboriculture.

Not really. Each local council in Melbourne has a set of rules relating to tree removal. If you have a tree protected under those rules but still want it removed, your council can ask you to get a tree report from an independent arborist. This is a second opinion.

The arborist will give a detailed report on the tree’s health and their recommendations. This does not mean that the council will agree if they recommend it be removed.
