Tree squirrels are "true" squirrels, and the ones we're normally concerned with. A cat is good deterrent.
Ground squirrels might be any one of a number of species, including Gophers and Chipmunks, as well as "authentic" ground-dwelling squirrels. They do less damage than bunnies, except for the burrows (and Gophers are worst for this, just like Moles.)
