Tree trimming,Tree pruning

Trimmer and pruner,Longueuil

Pruning and trimming are the methods we use most often. Both consist of removing branches or even entire sections of a tree. However, there is an important distinction between these techniques, as much in the intention behind each as in the gestures performed. We think it is desirable that you know this difference before you use our services. 

What is the difference between pruning and trimming a tree?  

The main goal of pruning is to improve or at least preserve as much as possible the health of the tree, as well as to improve its growth. Obviously, the pruner does his best to meet human objectives, but not to the detriment of the large plant. A minimum of branches are removed, starting of course with those that are damaged or weakened.

Conversely, trimming prioritizes human needs over those of the tree. It is often larger sections that are cut at once, whether it is the top or all the branches from the ground to a chosen height. You will understand that this drastic pruning is much more damaging to the tree. However, it may be necessary when a mature tree is too close to electrical wires or a building for example. ​

Trimming

This method is chosen for various reasons, for which pruning is not enough, but felling is not necessary. For example, the pruner can trim a tree at the request of a municipality or Hydro-Quebec, in order to protect public infrastructures. He can also do this operation to protect your home if branches start to graze it. It can even cut the tops of several trees close together to create a magnificent view for property owners. He can also cut all the branches from the lower part of a tree, in order to create a relaxation area with a hammock or table. This technique can also be used to clear the sidewalk if the tree is close to the street. 
  
Remember that pruning creates a great shock for your noble plants. This stress weakens them to the point of sometimes causing their premature death. We invite you to consider the advice of a certified arborist before making your final decision. Call us at 450-823-3274 to tell us about your situation.

Pruning

Properly practiced, pruning is a preventive method that avoids having to resort to pruning or felling a tree in the future. The short- and long-term consequences on the tree's well-being are assessed before proceeding. 
  
The experienced pruner studies the tree structure to determine which branches need to be removed. He removes as few as possible, prioritizing those that are dead, diseased, weak or broken. This careful restructuring of the antler prevents branches from falling off. It therefore avoids accidents that could seriously injure individuals or cause major damage to buildings and infrastructure. To this end, the pruner can also gently redirect some branches away from the house. The pruning of selected branches is in some cases intended to create more sunlight on specific areas of the property, such as the vegetable or flower garden. It also promotes the proper development of the tree and optimizes fruit production. Finally, professional pruning improves the tree's appearance and adds to its stature. 
  
Trees that are well maintained and in good condition contribute greatly to the serenity of a place. Each species has specific needs, which must be understood and respected during pruning to ensure healthy growth throughout the tree's life. Haubanage​ Branch shredding
