Tree removal

Tree removal may be required you think for one of your specimens that is badly bridged? It has become at risk of falling? It is not advisable to try to take care of it yourself. This is a dangerous task and requires specialized equipment to be performed properly and with all due caution. Even for a small tree or if you have the equipment, it is still best to use an expert tree trimmer. The experience of our arborists means that they can control the fall trajectory of a felled tree from the base. Also, when space is limited, our arborists proceed in sections, then from the top. Our climbers who have seen it all handle the work at the top.

However, cutting down a tree is an irrevocable decision to be made when all possibilities have been analyzed. Our arborists evaluate how your trees are doing, what is in their environment (other vegetation, constructions, electrical wires...) and are thus able to identify the most appropriate intervention. They will be able to suggest pruning, heavy pruning, bracing or other techniques or combinations of operations, in order to offer an extension to the life of your tree specimen.

When tree cutting is the only possible solution, for example in case of death of your plant, call us at 450-233-6371, so that we can assess the situation.

Pruning

Pruning is an essential type of tree care service in cities. This is because so much space is allocated to them, unlike their forest counterparts. So they need extra support, because it exposes them more and to more risks than in a dense situation like in the forest.

Pruning targets unnecessary branches (dead, diseased, broken). Correctly applied, this technique strengthens the specimens and makes them more beautiful. Moreover, it can be preventive by spotting branches that could have fallen off if no intervention had been made. Our arborists proceed with all the necessary precautions to take good care of your plants.

Heavy pruning

Heavy pruning is not the same as regular pruning. It aims at removing more branches. Very large sections may have to be removed, or the top of a tree. These operations seriously injure the plants. So this act is operated in cases of emergency or necessity. Safety reasons are probably at the top of the list of reasons to resort to it. For example, to clear traffic lanes that branches are about to invade. Heavy pruning for the protection of electrical wires is well known. However, pruning to satisfy a project or to clear a view must be studied. Depending on the regulations, it may not be authorized.

Guying

Many misfortunes can happen to trees. An arboreal specimen may lose its balance during its development because of having to go around an obstacle. A storm may have torn off a branch, but not completely. In similar situations, bracing can assist the injured tree while it recovers its stability or while an important branch is restored. This method, without risk to the plants, uses various guy wires, i.e. specialized cables. The device is modified as needed to adapt to the changing situation. However, this should be done by certified arborists to avoid damaging the trees.

Stump removal

Removing a stump after a tree has fallen or been felled is recommended. While some may appreciate these tree remnants, often for aesthetic reasons, they are also a source of annoyance. Among the worst consequences is the attraction that carpenter ants find there too. Emondage Laval Pro also has a grinder. This machine operates cleanly and quickly without destroying your property.

Shredding

Tree care can generate debris. This is the case with pruning, regular or heavy, and tree felling. The subsequent cleanup of the lawn is never pleasant and time consuming. Plus, where do you put it? The residual wood can be transformed into chips for useful uses. In this form, they can be spread as mulch or mixed with compost. Our chipper is the best way to do this because it proceeds quickly. All you have to do is let us shred your debris or even a pile of branches that have been accumulated for a long time in a corner of your yard. Space saving and trouble free. And if that's what you want, we'll leave with the fragments.

Training pruning

A training pruning represents a sculpting work executed in the long term. It consists in giving a beautiful shape to the plant. The aim is to obtain geometric regularity and a well ventilated branching. The specimen will be more robust, healthier and, if it is a fruit tree, it will give you more fruit. However, even if it is a soft technique that seems simple to operate, it implies a high level of knowledge concerning the development of trees and species, as well as a high level of precision in the gestures. Training pruning is concerned with the impact on the trees, but a beginner could cause unintentional damage. Last point: start with young plants. This will prevent many future problems

Cedar hedge trimming

Instead of fencing off the perimeter of their property, many homeowners prefer the cedar hedge. Cedar hedges are green, natural and provide a privacy wall. But it grows really fast! It is easy to lose control of its development and end up with an ill-defined hedge, with holes here and there, and all disheveled. A hedge needs to be maintained every year. However, it is important to know how to do this so as not to damage the health of these strange conifers and to obtain a look as full as possible. Our arborists are experts who know how much to cut, in what proportion and how to give a beautiful shape. So let us do the work for you with confidence. You can fill out the form at the top of this page or contact us by phone, at your convenience.

Emerald ash borer. Detecting diseases and insect pests

The emerald ash borer is an insect that can ravage an ash tree for a long time without its presence even being suspected. Not only is it hard to see during the first few years, but if this onslaught continues, the tree will die or have to be cut down. At Emondage Laval Pro, we have the knowledge and master the techniques to detect such insects. By notifying us early, at the slightest sign, we have a chance of detecting the active emerald ash borer, both as a larva and as an insect. You can call us to come and inspect your ash trees, even if there are no signs, to be safe. You could save your ash trees by taking this precaution, but also those of your neighbors by avoiding or mitigating the spread. The ash tree is a native species in Quebec. But the borer could well succeed in decimating them entirely if we don't win this battle. The fact remains that a tree ravaged by the beetle must often be felled, especially if the quantity of larvae residing in its trunk is significant. However, the signs of their presence are often either absent or difficult to identify.

Tree planting

Planting trees is a privilege: Here is a living thing that you can watch grow for years and that will cover you with so many benefits! So, there are many reasons to plant trees. You can do it to mark a memorable event, such as an anniversary, or you can give it to yourself to beautify your garden space. We will be happy to help you choose a species and the location to plant your new arrival if needed. We will take into account the size of the branches and roots when mature, and therefore, the buildings or electrical wires that it could possibly threaten by coming too close. We want you to avoid these unfortunate situations.
