Tree felling

Tree removal is the first thing that comes to mind when people ask what services an arboricultural company offers. As you know, cutting down a tree is a definitive intervention with no way back. Our tree trimmers will review all the options with you before taking this final step. 

It is strongly recommended to maintain your trees regularly to prevent future complications. Of course, these can always occur, but so rarely in this case. It is true that cutting down a tree can also be aimed at preventing risks such as branches that would otherwise fall, which could then cause damage to property or structures, or even cause injuries to people. However, it is preferable to have pruned diligently for several years to adequately protect yourself against such eventualities. 

On the other hand, nature itself can harm trees; for example, a storm can cause a loss of stability. In this case, the way to prevent the fall of the large plant or to keep it stable is a cleverly thought out professional guying. Our pruners are experienced. When evaluating your particular situation, they will be able to propose the appropriate intervention in accordance with your needs.

Pruning

Pruning is one of the services we offer. Our arborists will make sure to proceed in a way that does not harm the development of your trees. This does not replace your personal goals. If you want a tree to look better, or if you want to place a reading chair under a tree and have a few branches removed to make it possible, pruning can meet such needs, among many others, without any problem.

Tree trimming

Pruning is a more drastic operation. Moreover, it risks damaging the trees. This is because the proportion of a tree that is cut off is very large, significantly more than in pruning, i.e. a good part of the branch or a complete topping. 

In contrast to pruning, this time there is no need to worry about the future consequences on the tree specimen. It is the nature of the objective that wants this, because the operation applies to relatively imminent risks of damage, to your own home, to buildings nearby, to public infrastructures... What is less often known is that pruning is also intended to avoid harming traffic on streets, bike paths, sidewalks, parking lots, driveways, alleys... Acting quickly is therefore imperative - the danger may occur in the near future! 

Pruning is also used when a tree could prevent authorized work from being carried out. Some municipalities use it to prune a row of trees and thus free up an unbelievable view, so sought after by tourists. 

Pruning is not good for trees at all, but sometimes it has to be done. However, if pruning can avoid having to cut down a tree too early, it will still be a lesser evil. ​

Tree cabling

The guying is an intervention whose objective is to offer a support to rebalance a section of tree or the entire tree specimen. The aim is also preventive, because without this precaution, complications could arise. 

Why could a tree lose its balance? First of all, during its growth, it can happen that the weight of the plants is distributed more on one side in relation to the other or on the bottom in relation to the top. It is also possible that, for various reasons, a worrying cracking occurs, and that it is absolutely necessary to stop its progression. 

Guy wires are special cables that, depending on their arrangement and tension, will provide the sections concerned with the support they need. The corrections to be made in the stature of an arboreal specimen will usually be spread out over a good period of time before there is a sufficient recovery. Therefore, the device may require adjustments from time to time as the tree grows throughout the intervention period. 

Another benefit of this technique is that it allows the specimen to withstand the elements. This is something it would not be able to do as effectively otherwise. Moreover, the technique is suitable for all species and the plant does not suffer from it. On the contrary, it gives it support. But for this to be the case, it is of course essential that arborists who know their business do it.

Stump grinding

Strump grinder in Sorel-Tracy.
Grubbing is the act of removing a stump from the ground. The question is: When you are stuck with a stump, do you have to remove it? Be advised that if you keep it, no matter how good your reasons are, you may also reap some inconveniences you could do without. One of them could be the unwanted visit of carpenter ants. Sometimes, just the mention of this possibility is enough to make people not want to keep their stump anymore. However, for a quick and efficient extirpation, the use of specialized equipment is required. Emondage Sorel-Tracy has a grubbing machine, a great device that allows us to proceed without damaging your lawn. 

Wood chipper

Chipping of branches in Sorel-Tracy. The work is done by Emondage Sorel-Tracy.
What happens after a felling, pruning or trimming operation? A pile of wood debris of all sizes covers your property! It's time to clean up. Next, you'll have to dispose of all that wood. This is the least pleasant part, no doubt about it. Especially since it's rare to be aware of how much wood it's going to make. 

That's when the chipping comes in. It is an operation that chops your wood into small pieces. There is a specialized machine dedicated to this job: the chipper. We have just such a machine, and you will be surprised at how fast it works. Not to mention that you won't even have to do the chore. 

The service is also available when you want to get rid of a pile of branches that have accumulated over the years, even if you haven't had us cut down or prune any trees. It's not pleasant to see such a pile every time you pass by, so we might as well have it shredded. It will be one less shelter for wildlife or insects. 

A common question is: If I shred the whole thing, what will I do with the fragments? The beauty of it is that you can reuse them, sparingly though, in your wood stove or you can spread them in your flower beds to reduce watering needs. But if you prefer, we can simply dispose of them and leave with the batch of fragments. To delegate the tedious task of shredding, call us. We'll be happy to take the burden off your shoulders.​

Size trimming

Training pruning of a fruit tree in Sorel-Tracy.
The formation pruning, as its name indicates, aims at giving a shape to the tree. Thus, firstly, the technique allows you to control the silhouette or shape of your plant: in a ball, in a long line, etc. Secondly, it also offers a boost to the health of the specimens thus pampered, as their development will benefit from it. For example, fruit trees produce more when they are pruned. In fact, any plant can have its longevity extended by this technique. 

Moreover, it is not as risky as pruning or cutting down. It is even less risky than pruning. That's why many people think: "Well, I can take care of it myself. But it is a mistake to think so, because it is also the technique that requires the most dexterity and knowledge so as not to harm the development of a tree, which would be the opposite of the intended objective. A clumsy gesture committed in ignorance can result in consequences that are very difficult to repair, if not impossible. Here again, our arborists have experience and know-how. You might as well rely on them with complete confidence. 

Cedar hedge pruning

Cedar pruning done by Emondage Sorel-Tracy.
How have you chosen to delineate your property from your neighbors'? Is it a cedar hedge, like most people? That would not be surprising, as it is the cheapest, most beautiful and most natural way. But cedars are growing at an insane rate. If you don't take care of them every year, they can become very ugly and have unwelcome holes that compromise the privacy barrier you want. 

There are certain times of the year when cedars are best pruned. It also takes some skill and knowledge to avoid causing more harm than good. For a reliable job, turn to us, Emondage Sorel-Tracy. We have been doing this for so many years! You can fill out the form on this page to contact us. 

Emerald ash borer. Disease and pest detection

We are also able to intervene for the emerald ash borer. This is an insect that attacks ash trees and can wreak havoc on them on the sly for a very long time before its presence is even suspected. Then the day comes when it is too late. The damage is too advanced to avoid removal. Our tree care service, at Emondage Sorel-Tracy, can spot the activity of this pest early. So you might as well call us so we can go and do an inspection. You might as well try to save your ash trees, if detected early enough. 

The emerald ash borer is serious business. This native species could be completely decimated from our Quebec soil if it is not properly addressed. However, the intervention must be done very early. If the larvae have caused too much damage, it may be necessary to cut down a tree. Call 450-954-2664 to reach us. Our tree care company could help you with the worst of this.

Tree planting

Very few people would dispute how planting a tree is a meaningful action. Trees are wellness providers in many ways in our lives. Any excuse is good enough to plant one. Because you are planning to install a landscape, because you are a nature lover, because it would be the ideal present to offer on the occasion of an event to celebrate or a simple birthday... Even in this case, a company like ours can provide you with useful support. We can help you choose the species and identify the best place to plant it. These are two points where knowledge and experience count a lot. What will be the maximum size of the specimen when mature? What about its root spread? This information is essential to ensure sufficient growing space throughout its life; otherwise, the integrity of buildings or infrastructures could be threatened by this tree in the future. 

Tree felling regulations Sorel-Tracy

With the changing climate and more and more people landscaping their yards, trees are all the rage. But you can't do with them as you please either. Municipalities have bylaws, including regulations for pruning, trimming or cutting down trees. They require permits in certain circumstances. To find out more, visit our Permits page for the City of Sorel-Tracy. 

Liability insurance

Can you fell your own trees? The question will probably cross your mind if you own a chainsaw and even more so if cutting trees is your job. But there is one important factor that weighs in the decision. You know that a falling tree can sometimes veer off course a bit, or that other random things can happen. In the city, there are other homes close to yours, people live there too, and they may get the idea to walk under the falling tree out of sheer distraction. The amount of potential danger is much higher in urban areas than in rural areas. Our team of arborists is used to working in both urban and rural areas. We have the know-how to prepare for the felling task in advance. And above all, we have liability insurance policies. This alone is enough to make people in this business prefer to delegate the job to us.
