Tree services workers, on the other hand, are generally only responsible for planning new trees and trimming branches on existing trees. They can also chop down trees that have been specifically grown for wood manufacturing plants. Such workers generally don’t have the expertise to diagnose different tree diseases or come up with treatment plans if a forest or farm has become infected.
