About the Company:
We are a respected residential tree service in the Harford, Cecil and Baltimore county areas of Maryland. We perform our work to high standards and run a very professional operation.
Arbor-X Inc is a residential tree expert company that performs all types of tree care needs: Tree removals. Tree trimming. Cabling and bracing. Stump removal. Fertilizing. Insecticide and Herbicide application. Land clearing.
Arbor-X is a relatively small company, with a handful of excellent employees. We have been in business for 12 years. We offer superior quality of work and have a huge customer base. We are always ready to expand, but we only expand when we have the quality workers to do so.
Off Season:
Plant health care can be slow in the 'off-season'. You will still have a good income during those months.
”Off season” work would likely involve this job description:
Ground Person/Climber’s Assistant:
A ground person is often someone that works on the 'ground' with a tree climber. He/she often uses ropes to lower limbs and wood. He/she often runs a chipper to dispose of limbs and logs. Other tasks might include, tree felling, stump grinding, fertilizing, equipment maintenance, etc. This person must be able to use a chain saw safely and understand the mechanics of a sophisticated tree removal. They should have mechanical sense to run machinery correctly. Ground persons have to be in great physical shape to keep up with the rigorous pace. Work is often hard and physically draining. Positive points about this position: The work day goes by very fast. You stay in great physical shape. Almost every day you are at a different location and situation. You get to work outside. You have a sense of satisfaction being part of a team that does amazing tasks that most people can't do.
We use good equipment and vehicles; our equipment shouts, “we are a professional company”. Tree work is naturally hard, but modern equipment takes a lot of the back-breaking work out of it, and we believe in using the best equipment.
As stated above; individuals need to be in good physical shape. This means no smokers or people that have never had a physically strenuous job or do not get exercise. Even new workers that are in good physical shape are always tired the first two weeks of work, but you will quickly build up endurance for this type of work.
Location:
We are located in Bel Air Maryland. Most of the jobs we work on are in Harford county, but we also visit Cecil and Baltimore county. Arbor-X will likely have other offices elsewhere in the state in coming years. We are located about 35-40 minutes Northeast of Baltimore. We are NOT 'big city'. There is still some farm land and open space. The quality of life here is viewed as “high”.
If you have what it takes, I can not stress enough; that we VALUE GOOD WORKERS. You will be paid very well and treated with respect.
