Cutting down a tree in Mont-Tremblant

Cutting down a tree is always a heartbreaking action, since trees provide us with many rewards. Moreover, the more mature trees are, the more benefits we have received from them. So their departure is all the more disturbing. Essentially, they are an important part of our lives. In hot weather, they cool us down; they mitigate temperature extremes, they cut us off from wind and sound, they provide sites for viewing charming animal scenes in their foliage... Unfortunately, one day, a tree must be cut down. This article outlines various situations where it is appropriate, if not necessary, to cut down a tree. ​

Dead tree ​

Felling dead trees is the most obvious situation that cannot be avoided. Otherwise, insects will have time to take refuge in it and fungus may invade it, which will only increase the risk of falls. And this is because a tree that has lost all its life will dry out and become crumbling. Sooner or later it may collapse to the ground, and it will obviously do so without warning. When such a collapse occurs, structures and infrastructures can be damaged, goods too, such as cars, fences, etc., passers-by at the wrong moment can receive a fateful shock, injuring them more or less seriously, or even killing them on the spot. Therefore, it is essential to quickly cut down any lifeless tree.

Diseased tree ​

In the case of pest infestation or fungus invasion, this must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. It may be that a simple pruning is sufficient, especially when the intervention is early.

However, when the response is late or a disease is incurable, cutting down a tree becomes irretrievable. This ultimate act should be interpreted as what it is, a preventive action of complications, of those already named, but also of the spread of an infestation to other plants.

Damage to a tree after a storm

High winds, lightning and other weather can damage trees to varying degrees. When a trunk has cracked, the specimen is weakened. It would be dangerous not to intervene before the next episode of bad weather. The idea is to avoid the obvious consequences should the large plant unexpectedly collapse to the ground. Guying can be effective in prolonging this plant life. If not, cutting down a tree becomes the only possible solution.

Uprooted tree ​

Strong winds are capable of uprooting trees. Sometimes, the uprooting is not complete. Then, the risk of having to cut down a tree is almost total, and this, to avoid a fatal fall once again. Safety is the main reason for cutting down a tree and that is why acting early is the general rule of thumb in the arboricultural field.

Mutual nuisance between trees

By growing too close, two trees can come to have their branches intertwined. This engages them in a state of mutual nuisance. This is sometimes to the point of putting their respective development at risk. It is often necessary to sacrifice one of the two specimens. When the decision is not easy to make, contact us first.
