What is tree care?

Tree care refers to the practice of maintaining and managing trees to ensure their health, safety, and appearance. This can include services such as pruning, disease diagnosis and treatment, fertilizing, pest management, and safe tree removal. Professional tree care helps prevent property damage, promotes tree longevity, and enhances the beauty of landscapes. Certified arborists and tree care specialists use their expertise to assess tree health and recommend appropriate treatments.

What are some of the common challenges faced by tree care professionals on the job?

Tree care professionals often encounter challenges such as working safely at heights, handling heavy equipment, and managing unpredictable weather conditions. Additionally, accurately diagnosing tree diseases or pest issues requires both experience and ongoing learning. Collaboration with team members is essential for safety during complex tasks like tree removals or large-scale pruning. Effective communication with clients about tree health and maintenance recommendations is also an important part of the role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in tree care, and why are they important?

To thrive in Tree Care, you need strong knowledge of arboriculture practices, tree biology, and safety protocols, typically supported by experience or certification such as ISA Certified Arborist. Familiarity with specialized tools like chainsaws, climbing gear, and aerial lifts, as well as tree risk assessment software, is commonly required. Strong attention to detail, physical stamina, and effective communication skills set top professionals apart in this field. These skills and qualities are vital for ensuring tree health, public safety, and efficient teamwork during potentially hazardous work.

What is the difference between Tree Care vs Arborist?

Tree Care involves general tree maintenance tasks like pruning and removal, often performed by workers with basic training. An Arborist is a specialized professional with certification, focusing on tree health, diagnosis, and preservation. While all arborists perform tree care, not all tree care workers are certified arborists. The roles overlap but differ in expertise and scope.

Job description

The Best Teams are Created and Maintained Here.
At BrightView, the best teams are created and maintained here. If you are searching for your next fulfilling career, picture yourself on a best-in-class team where you can grow to be your brightest. We're looking for a Tree Care Crew Leader. Can you picture yourself here?
Here's what you'd do:
We'll look to you to ensure efficiency and that client standards are attained. You'll conduct site inspections, provide hands-on leadership, and provide guidance for soil, planting, watering and insect control. You'll also drive and maintain our vehicles, train personnel with a strong emphasis on safety, and handle schedules, and review charts and reports.
You'd be responsible for:
  • Supervising the tree care service activities of the crew - ensuring that all crew members have the required safety material, that the crews have the training and tools needed to complete the job and that the crews are operating safely at all times
  • Reviewing and managing crew schedules
  • Completing a pre-trip inspection report each day before dispatch for all Class B equipment.
  • Coordinating with branch management, customers and employees as needed
  • Using tree & landscaping tools and operating heavy equipment as needed
  • Safely driving crews to and from jobs, adhering to Company's safety policy and ensuring that the public will be safe while in contact with crews

You might be a good fit if you have:
  • 3 years' experience
  • Good Driver's License
  • CDL license class B
  • Experience managing a crew consisting of climbers and grounds men or related services
  • Supervisory experience
  • Medical card and first aid plus CPR certification card at time of hire

And while not mandatory, it would be great if you also have:
  • Ability to prioritize and multi-task in a fast paced environment
  • Bilingual (Spanish)
  • Good work ethic
  • Effective oral and written communication skills
  • Strong leadership skills
  • Familiarity with the techniques and equipment used in landscaping.
  • Ability to handle the physicality of our work: weather conditions, heavy lifting (30-80 pounds), and extensive walking.

Here's what to know about working here:
Here at BrightView, we're as passionate about caring for our clients as we are about caring for each other. Though we're the nation's leading landscape company, we maintain a small company feel and supportive environment that makes our team members feel at home.
If you're looking to join a team of talented go-getters who tackle big vision projects other companies could only dream of, you just might have found your match. With our range of services, including landscape design, development, maintenance and enhancements, there's no limit to what we can do, and what you can achieve.
Growing Everyday
Like the communities we serve, you are on a constant path of discovery to shape your career and personal development. In addition to best-in-class opportunities and competitive salary, you may be eligible for benefits and perks like:
  • Paid time off
  • Health and wellness coverage
  • 401k savings plan
