Problems with your trees and shrubs? No problem


The definition of arboriculture is the cultivation, management, and study of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants. The science of arboriculture studies how these plants grow and respond to their environment and to human intervention.


A certified arborist is therefore a specialist in the cultivation and care of trees and shrubs, including tree surgery, the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of tree diseases, and the control of pests.


The arboriculture Experts on JustAnswer are always available to answer your tree, shrub and landscaping questions without having to schedule a visit to your property. You can even ask follow-up questions, and approve payment only when you’re completely satisfied.
