An arborist, arboriculturalist or tree surgeon is a professional in the
practice of arboriculture, which is the management and maintenance of
ornamental or shade trees. Work can include tree surgery and also care of
shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants. An
arborist is distinct from a forester, or from a logger. Those professions
may have much in common, but the scope of work is different. Arborists
frequently focus on health and safety of individual trees, or wooded
landscapes, rather than managing forests or harvesting wood.
Trees may need
pruning for health and good structure, for aesthetic reasons,
and to permit people to walk under them. They might also require other care
to improve their chances for survival, including treatments in response to
damage from biotic or abiotic factors. Trees in urban landscape settings are
often subject to human and natural disturbances above and below ground, and
in need of solutions provided by arborists. Timing or methods depend on the
species of tree and the purpose of the work, and a thorough knowledge of
local species and environments is necessary to determine the best practices.
Trees may also require pruning to keep them away from wires, fences and
buildings.
There can be a vast difference between the techniques and practices of
professional arborists and those (without adequate training) who simply
"trim trees". Some practices of (uneducated) tree workers are considered
unacceptable by modern arboriculture standards. One example of an
"unacceptable" practice is called "topping", "lopping" or "hatracking", when
entire tops of trees or main stems are cut off, causing detrimental effects;
generally done by cross-cutting the main stem or leaders, leaving big flat
topped stubs.
Pruning should only be done with a specific purpose in mind. Every cut is a
wound, and every leaf lost is removal of some photosynthetic potential.
Proper pruning can be helpful in many ways, but should always be done with
the minimum amount of live tissue removed.
In recent years, research has proven that wound dressings such as paint, tar
or other coverings are unnecessary and may harm trees. The coverings may
encourage growth of decay-causing fungi. Proper pruning, by cutting through
branches at the right location, can do more to limit decay than wound
dressing.

The simple "rule of thumb" is:
"A consultant will give professional advice on the health and/or safety of a
tree, relationships with proposed or existing buildings or any other tree
issue requiring a report or survey"
"A contractor will give a professional service including pruning, removal
and other management operations as required."
