Tree removal

Cutting down a tree is a service that many people expect a company like ours to provide. Of course, in the midst of many other interventions, tree removal is included in our repertoire. Nevertheless, it is the very last resort to consider. Our pruners will therefore try to find an alternative solution when possible.

The best thing to prevent a tree cutting is prevention, and regular maintenance is the best thing you can do.

However, since cutting down a tree represents a risk of falling, and therefore of disastrous consequences, cutting down a tree represents a sort of preventive measure. Obviously, no one plans to damage infrastructure. That is why it is better to prune trees beforehand, which has a preventive effect, than to have to part with a large plant at an early stage.

One of the alternatives to tree removal is guying. In other words, no matter what your particular situation is, our pruners will find the right intervention for you.

Tree pruning

Pruning is not just a service in itself, it can meet a variety of needs. This technique is practiced with respect to the development of the trees. This does not mean that your objectives will not be taken into consideration, but that potential compromises will be proposed.

You can therefore ask us to remove branches to groom your tree by ridding it of unnecessary branches or to give a helping hand to the realization of a landscaping project by giving a particular shape to your plant or to control the shade it casts.

Among the prunings that can be done, there are those that are done in the heights by our climbers. You will see them hanging with their chainsaw in hand cutting branches. Don't be surprised if such a scene attracts spectators from the neighborhood!

Severe pruning

A severe pruning is more drastic than a usual pruning; moreover, it removes large proportions or the top, and this harms the trees. The pruner will have to remove a significant amount of branches or the entire top. Arboricultural health cannot be part of the deal in this case. It is the nature of the objective at hand, most often safety, that makes it so.

The main reasons for intervention are to avoid damage to infrastructure, such as electrical wires, or to prevent branches from obstructing busy roads, i.e. sidewalks, bicycle paths or roads where vehicles and their drivers pass. This means that the eminence of a hazard requires prompt action.

Severe pruning may sometimes be required in order to realize personal projects. This is not excluded, but it may be necessary to consult municipal regulations to validate the authorization to do so. It is true that severe pruning does not do any good to a plant, but this intervention is a lesser evil than cutting down a tree.

Gyuing

Various circumstances can compromise tree stability. In these cases, guying may be necessary. The work consists of strategically placing guy wires, i.e. various cables, in order to achieve the desired stabilizing objective. Adjustments to the system can be made over time to accommodate changing conditions. It is both effective and does not damage the plant.

This technique is aimed at restoring the balance of the whole tree or of important branches. Whenever a situation arises that could cause a large plant to lose its stability, bracing can be used. This technique aims at restabilizing the tree, but it also has preventive purposes, as it avoids future unpleasant consequences by preventing undesirable outcomes.

What are the circumstances that can lead to the application of this technique? A poor weight distribution in a tree during development or a crack in the trunk may be involved. There are also preventative impacts associated with this technique. If the loss of balance was tolerated for too long, a fall could occur, risking damage. For the technique to fulfill its promise, it is best left to competent arborists.

Stump removal

Arboriculturist of Emondage Rimouski who proceeds to the removal of a stump.
Stump removal is not always taken for granted. Some people think that keeping a stump is a good thing. However, insects can be attracted to it. Not only is an infestation undesirable, but let's hope it's not carpenter ants. Most people would rather not take a chance on such a prospect, however infrequent it may be. The process of removing a stump is difficult for the homeowner who does it himself. But if you let our stump grinder from Emondage Rimouski take care of it, you will see that it works cleanly and efficiently. In addition, your property will be unharmed.

Shredding of branches

Shredding of branches in Rimouski. The work is done by Emondage Rimouski.
The shredding of branches occurs after a pruning or a felling of a tree. Indeed, these actions produce debris composed of sections and clusters of branches. Their scattering on your lawn will not look good. The magnitude of the task of restoring order is daunting to many.

However, branch shredding is part of our service offering. The operation consists in producing chips, thanks to our branch shredder. It is a specialized machine that operates quickly and efficiently.

You don't have any lopping or felling to do... but you have a pile of branches waiting in a corner of your property that you hope will be discrete. You were hoping one day to take it somewhere. No problem, we shred for that too. You will feel free of a burden, if you delegate us this unpleasant work.

Don't try to shred by yourself, because the handling of the machine is dangerous. It's okay to have some kind of cleaning, you say, but what to do with the wood fragments? Put them in your compost or flower beds, among other options. If you can't find a use for them, we can also dispose of them. So contact us to mandate us to shred your branches and free your mind.

Training pruning

Training pruning of a fruit tree in Rimouski.
The training pruning is spread over the long term and focuses on the shape of the trees. It not only beautifies but also strengthens and stimulates the development of the trees. For their part, fruit trees produce more fruit. The life of the tree specimen is extended.

The technique is gentle and does not involve the risks associated with felling, in particular; it is even safer than an already gentle pruning. This may suggest that it is within the reach of everyone. However, it requires a high level of knowledge and skill. Let our arboriculturists do this work to avoid damage to your trees caused by some clumsiness or ignorance.

Cedar hedge trimming

Cedar trimming done by Emondage Rimouski.
Cedar hedges are a common sight. This is not surprising since they are affordable. However, cedars are a fast-growing species. Left unchecked, your hedge can be spindly, lopsided and disastrous. It needs annual trimming.

This requires more dexterity than homeowners often realize. If not, again, the shear may be too much. Let our arborists from Emondage Rimouski take care of it. Their know-how will reassure you about the quality of the final result. To reach us, simply call us or fill out our form at the top of this page.

Emerald ash borer. Detecting diseases and insect pests

Are you aware of the damage that EAB does to ash trees?  

If you have ash trees on your property, you should know that this insect and its larvae can be active for many years before you even know they are there. By the time you finally realize it, it is often too late and the trees must be removed.

Ash is a native tree to Quebec. The onslaught of this undesirable species is such that it could decimate the entire population of these specimens. This is why prevention is essential.

You can count on our tree maintenance services. At Emondage Rimouski, we will visit you to detect the presence of the beetle early if you contact us to verify it. This is important, even if you don't think the emerald ash borer is active. With this kind of foresight, you may be able to save your trees, if it keeps the EAB from attacking them.

However, when severe larval damage is detected, we may have to remove the tree in this condition. Even if there were no external signs. So you'll be doing the right thing by contacting our tree service department at 581-506-5131. Hiring a tree care company to check for diseases and insects is a smart move.
