| Aspect | Flex Time Shade Tree | Arborist |
|---|---|---|
| Certifications | None required, some may have landscape or environmental certifications | Required: ISA Certified Arborist or equivalent |
| Work Environment | Outdoor, flexible hours, landscape or urban settings | Outdoor, specialized tree care, urban and rural environments |
| Industry Usage | Landscape maintenance, urban forestry, environmental services | Tree care, pruning, removal, health assessments |
The main difference between a Flex Time Shade Tree worker and an Arborist lies in certifications and specialization. Flex Time Shade Tree roles often focus on landscape maintenance with flexible hours, while Arborists are certified professionals specializing in tree health and safety. Both work outdoors in similar environments, but Arborists require specific credentials and advanced training.

About SavATree
SavATree was founded 45 years ago with a mission to preserve trees threatened by the gypsy moth epidemic. Since then, we’ve grown into a nationwide leader in tree, shrub, and lawn care services. Unlike companies that focus on removal, our work is rooted in preservation and care.
We are a values-driven organization built on teamwork, integrity, respect, and a relentless commitment to making a positive impact. When you join us, you’ll find a collaborative, competitive, and caring environment where your contributions matter. As we like to say: When you work here, you thrive here.
Physical Requirements
This role requires the ability to climb, work at heights, and safely lift and/or move up to fifty (50) pounds while performing tree care tasks.
Equal Opportunity
SavATree is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a Drug-Free Workplace. We are committed to creating a diverse environment where all employees feel valued and respected.
