Tree trimmer and pruner in Mont-Tremblant

Tree pruning and trimming are part of our tree care services at Emondage Mont-Tremblant. There are two types of tree pruning: the usual and the severe. These two terms do not imply the same arboricultural approach. There is indeed a distinction between the two, especially in terms of the impact on the tree.

Difference between regular and severe tree pruning

Tree pruning, in the current form, is an operation that consists of studied gestures and is concerned with the health of arboricultural specimens. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to prepare the work so that it is spread over a long period of time. This way, the process is as smooth as possible. Of course, we want to meet your expectations, but we can offer you alternatives that will have less impact on your trees.

Severe tree pruning, on the other hand, has goals that do not involve such concern for the health of the plants. The movements performed are drastic and the tree will inevitably be affected. It may even die. The technique is nevertheless justified given the objectives pursued. It is often safety that is at stake. The best example to give to have a good idea of this technique is the severe tree pruning done by Hydro-Quebec pruners to protect the electrical network.

Severe tree pruning

Tree pruning, in its severe form, comes into play when regular tree pruning is not sufficient to achieve the desired goals. It may be necessary to top trees or remove a large proportion of the branching. In both cases, the action is detrimental to the specimen. It may be that authorities have imposed this intervention. In all cases, the aim is to prevent damage: to infrastructure, to buildings, to property... whether private or public. It can also be a question of avoiding an encroachment by the branches in a path of circulation (sidewalk, pedestrian path, cycle track, road). One can also cut the tops to open up a splendid view. Removing the lower branches entirely, regardless of the intention, is also a severe tree pruning.

Since severe tree pruning causes considerable stress to a plant, to the point that it may die before its time, it is advisable to retain the services of certified arborists, such as us, before considering such an intervention. We can be reached at 866-568-0297. 

Regular tree pruning

Regular tree pruning prevents future severe pruning or early tree removal. In order not to hurt the trees too much, a pruner will examine the stature of the specimens and practice careful gestures. His intention is to cut only the essential, i.e. the diseased, fragile or dead branches. Under such care, the tree structure will gradually take shape. The tree will look good, thus groomed. It can also be a question of redirecting a trajectory that has gone wrong. These are all cuts that give strength to the large plant, making it more solid in the face of bad weather for example. Tree pruning can also be used to direct light or shade where it is desired to contribute to the functions given to specific locations. The length of the branches in the tree canopy should be adjusted accordingly. The tree pruning is also a stimulant, which means, in the case of fruit trees, that they will provide you with a more abundant harvest.

Each species has its own particular needs. Our tree pruners are well aware of this and take it into account in each of their interventions, while meeting your expectations.
