Tree fell on house after a storm in Shawinigan. It will be removed by Emondage Shawinigan Pro.

Tree felling

Cutting down trees is not the most pleasant action to have done, since there is no way to go back afterwards. Nevertheless, it is the one that one immediately thinks of in terms of tree services. So when our pruners are called to cut down a tree, they take the time to evaluate all alternatives before they do so. This attention to detail is part of the rules of the trade. Clients who are told that there is a solution to avoid cutting down their tree are often relieved. The complete removal of a tree is a last resort. It should be reserved for those times when it is the only way to avoid the risk of breakage or injury or to prevent work authorized by a municipality. 

Nevertheless, prevention is preferable to having to carry out the last resort, namely cutting down a tree. Prevention is best achieved through regular maintenance. Pruning can also play a preventive role rather than delaying a reaction and having to prune a large plant, or even worse, having to cut it down entirely. Trees are also subject to the vagaries of the weather. Therefore, a storm can compromise their balance. In this case, bracing can save them. 

No matter what your situation is, our tree trimmers have the know-how to guide you towards the most appropriate solution.

Tree pruning

Pruning is a technique that preserves the health of a tree. Our arborists always have such a goal in mind when they perform this task. However, the operation is also aimed at achieving your goal. For example, to free up a small space in a branch that is spreading out a little too much for your liking, to install a hammock. The removal of branches can also answer aesthetic imperatives concerning the shape of the specimen itself or the landscape look of the whole of your garden that it participates in creating. 

There is also a form of pruning that attracts the curious, namely that which is practiced high above the ground. In this case, our climbers work, suspended in the air, with their chainsaw in hand, to remove branches that present risks. 

Tree trimming

Pruning is a much more drastic task. As a result, trees are often adversely affected by pruning. This is because pruning removes a greater proportion of a tree than pruning. It can be a simple topping. Nevertheless, such a task is so harmful, that some municipalities prohibit it. Simple wishes rarely justify pruning. The purpose must be essential. For example, to prevent accidents, breakage or authorized work.  Thus, when a branch threatens electrical wires, pruning is necessary, regardless of the visual result. The same is true if motorists, cyclists or pedestrians will soon be unable to pass through their respective traffic areas because growing branches are about to invade them... or already have. You may be able to have a pruning done for a specific project, but it is always best to validate that it is a valid reason according to your municipality's regulations. In any case, pruning is also part of a preventive arsenal, since it can also prevent the need to cut down a tree.

Tree cabling

Guying is probably the most important tree care service to know about, because it is usually ignored or forgotten. Its purpose is to restore balance to a tree whose stability or verticality is compromised. The technique can also be part of a range of preventive means to avoid a total cut. 

Several factors can cause a tree to lose its stability. For example, in addition to the vagaries of the weather, their weight can come to be distributed unequally, so that the specimen leans more to one side. Sometimes it simply wanted to get around an obstacle or some branches grew faster due to increased access to sunlight. When cracks form due to misalignment, it is important to have the situation examined and to avoid complications by bracing when the prognosis is worrisome. 

The technique consists of installing guy wires (special cables) following a strategy that allows to meet the desired objective. The device will be adjusted according to the growth of the specimen and maintained in place as long as the tree does not regain its autonomous balance or the desired degree of verticality. As long as the work is done by experienced arborists, it is without risk for the plant.

Stump grinding

Stump grinding in Shawinigan.
Grubbing, as we probably all know, is the removal of a stump from the ground. Many people think that this task, which completes the cutting of a tree, is optional, even useless. However, it causes significant inconvenience. The worst of all is when a carpenter's procession sets in. Sometimes, just mentioning this possibility is enough for homeowners to call us, Emondage Shawinigan Pro, to proceed with the removal of the wood remnant and its roots with our grinder. Using the right equipment is the safest way to avoid destroying your property. A tree care company such as ours has this equipment. 

Wood chipping

Branch chipping in Shawinigan. The work is done by Emondage Shawinigan Pro.
Chipping is a current solution for those who want to clean up their lawns impeccably. Also, after requesting a service where branches or the partial or complete stem of a tree are cut, the result is a mound of wood on your lawn. Many people are surprised at the amount that is littering their lawn, when they thought the job was done. They suddenly realize the magnitude of the cleanup task ahead. Not to mention having to take it all somewhere. But where? And this realization happens just when it's time to do it. This is often what makes people want to pile up a bunch of branches in a corner of the yard. Out of discouragement or because you don't know what to do. 

That's exactly when branch chipping comes in. This is done by means of a dedicated machine, which is able to accomplish the task much faster than if you were to do it with your chainsaw. The operation reduces the wood to chips. Its first advantage is, of course, the quick cleaning it allows. And that's more than enough reason to use it. In fact, you can call us to chop up the branches you've been accumulating for years, without even having used our cutting services first (felling, pruning, trimming). The other benefit is to recover the product for reuse. The possibilities are numerous: as mulch in a flower bed, in the compost... a search on the Web will give you plenty of ideas. Otherwise, if that's what you prefer, we simply take it all back. So, no need to look at that annoying pile of wood for another season. Just call us! And imagine the relief you'll feel. 

Size training

Training pruning of a fruit tree in Shawinigan.
The formation pruning aims to obtain a particular shape. It is a technique that promotes the longevity and growth of trees, even a more prosperous production of fruit by the fruit trees. This technique is careful by nature. Also, it is not as risky as pruning or felling, for the plant. It is even less risky than pruning, which is already very little. For this reason, it is not uncommon for a homeowner to feel that they can do it themselves. However, it is fundamental to have the knowledge and to master the gestures associated with training pruning, if one does not want to commit the gesture of too much which would have irreversible consequences. Our arborists have the experience to avoid the worst and to obtain impeccable results. 

Cedar hedge pruning

Cedar pruning done by Emondage Shawinigan Pro.
Trimming the Cedar Hedge: This is another task that many homeowners want to do themselves. And very often, they want to, but nevertheless, they constantly put it off. Cedar hedges are used to enclose one's property in addition to providing some sound insulation. It is the perfect way to get privacy on your property. Since it's less expensive than a fence and it also greens up your living space, why do without it? So, of course, it's a wise choice. But it must be maintained, otherwise it will become sparse and ugly over time. The exact opposite of the look you want. 

If you are one of the many homeowners who neglect their hedges, it's understandable. This is often the case for those who want to save money and think they know how to do it. But deep down, they don't know how to do it and they don't have the equipment to achieve the best results, and they don't know how to get the results they want from the equipment either. So they put off the work. They are right to wonder. For example, there is a time of year when it is best to prune and another when it is best to avoid. Our arborists have the knowledge and skills to do this and we have the right tools. Contact your tree care service, Emondage Shawinigan Pro, to receive a free quote or complete our form on this page. Your biggest risk is to be pleasantly surprised by our offer. 

Emerald ash borer. Disease and pest detection

What is the Emerald Ash Borer? No, it's not a jigger that is practiced in the woods. It is an insect that loves trees of this species and unfortunately devastates them. Ash trees are native to Quebec. The emerald ash borer could definitely eliminate them from our soil. These insects can even be undetectable for several years. So much so that, very often, when we become aware of their presence, we have to cut down the trees because they can no longer be saved. At Emondage Shawinigan Pro, we have the knowledge to identify their presence early on, as part of our range of arboricultural services. So, if you have ash trees, it would be a good idea to contact us, by prevention: 819-805-1819​

Tree planting

Planting a tree is an act of great value. The delight felt is most pleasant when one has chosen to get one, because one is a lover of nature, or to give it as a gift. In particular to mark a unique moment or a traditional or memorable event in the particular history of a family. In any case, it is the original gift par excellence. Even though many do it, it is an unexpected token that pleases and is unique by the essence, the planting location or the particular look that it contributes to compose. Our team can advise you on the appropriate species and the optimal planting location. Among other precautions, the size of the roots and the branching once matured should be taken into account in order to avoid future complications. Knowledge is required to adopt such foresight and make the most sensible choices. 

Shawinigan Felling Regulations

All municipalities now recognize the importance of trees and the many services they provide to urban life and to property owners. As a result, they have enacted by-laws to regulate tree cutting and pruning operations. You can visit the City's tree cutting page for more information.​

Liability insurance​

Has the idea of cutting down your own trees ever crossed your mind? You either have the equipment or you could just rent it, you say to yourself. However, even if you know the work, the job (no pun intended!) is not the same in an urban area as in the forest. There are many possible obstacles that increase the risk of complications or even serious injury if someone were to suddenly walk by where the tree falls to the ground. In addition, doing this work is in itself a danger factor. Our arborists are experienced in both urban and rural areas. In addition, we have insurance policies in place to cover all eventualities. This criterion is so important, that many people whose job includes tree cutting do not hesitate to delegate the work to us. ​
