What is a Tree lopper ?
Lopper-
A tree lopper is an unqualified tree worker, this is akin to letting an unqualified Builder build you a house. Trees are highly complex long lived organisms requiring vast formal knowledge and experience to work with safely and effectively. Tree Loppers do not have these qualifications and often provide unqualified and wrong advice creating trees that are more hazardous.
Tree loppers will often use climbing spikes on their feet to prune trees, this often leads to disease and decay in your valued trees
