Tree cutting, Lac-Brome

Cutting down a tree is a good idea. After all, no one disputes how valuable trees are to us. They are natural "air cleaners". They can also mitigate erosion through their root system. Their presence can block winds. They are unparalleled in beautifying our properties. Not to mention that during the hot season, we appreciate the cooling effect of their foliage. Then, you can enjoy great moments of relaxation, listening to the birds sing. On a more practical note, they can also enhance the value of your property... 

The list could go on and on. That's why cutting trees is no small task. But sometimes that inevitable moment comes anyway. So, what are those times when it's necessary to cut down a tree? Let's take a look at some of them. ​

Dead tree

Felling is inevitable when a tree is dead. Then, it may even be urgent to proceed to this final act. This is understandable, because dry branches break easily. If they fall or if the whole tree falls to the ground, it could cause injuries, because people bump into it afterwards or unfortunately pass under it at the fateful moment of the fall. No one wants to go through that, either as a victim or as a relative of the victim, or as the owner responsible for the misfortune. That's for the worst. 
  
From a more generalized point of view, anyway, you could have the unpleasant visit of insects or fungi invading the large dried out plants. This would only increase the likelihood of more serious risks occurring, such as those previously mentioned. In such circumstances, do not wait. Unfortunately, there are times when it is necessary to cut down a tree. ​

Tree affected by disease

Pruning, on the other hand, when done in time, can be beneficial to your tree, especially if it has been invaded by disease, fungus or harmful pests. However, in order for this work to be preventive, it is essential to contact us early. So call 579-589-5474 to reach us at Emondage Lac-Brome.

However, when the necessary steps have not been taken early on, the time may come to cut down the tree. Pruning can therefore be a preventive measure against damage to property or buildings, or injury to people, possibly caused by falling branches or a whole tree. 
 
Finally, cutting down a tree attacked by pests or an incurable disease can also be a preventive solution to the infestation of other plants in the vicinity.

Damage to a tree after a storm

Several elements can cause damage to different sections of a tree. For example, lightning can split trunks. Heavy rain or snow or strong winds can break branches. The situation may be such that the specimen will have difficulty facing the next episode of bad weather. Again, there are risks of incidents that can damage property, buildings, infrastructure or injure people. Few know it but a guying is a technique that can save a tree in such situations. Otherwise, cutting down a tree often becomes the avenue that can no longer be avoided in order to avoid unnecessary risks. 

Uprooted tree

When high winds have raged, uprooting of trees can occur. Very often the plants concerned fall. But some of them are still holding on, although in a precarious way. They will fall at any moment. In this case, safety requires an urgent felling of the affected trees. 

Poorly located tree

If you've just moved in, maybe you have construction plans for your new property. Or maybe it's time to install that garden swing on wheels you've been dreaming of. But now a tree is terribly out of place. It bothers you, because you love this plant. Cutting it down would be heartbreaking. 
  
Sometimes, our team, which has seen it all, is able to propose alternatives that satisfy both your objectives: to carry out the project and to save the tree from an unfortunate cut. Call us at Emondage Lac-Brome at 579-589-5474 so that we can go and see your situation and give you a free quote. 

Tree that hinders the growth of other trees

Another situation that results in the removal of a tree may be two specimens that have grown in an intertwined fashion. Their branches intertwine or their trunks have twisted together.  This situation can hinder their respective growth and make it necessary to sacrifice at least one of the two plants, otherwise both will eventually die. Simple cases make the choice easy: one specimen is older than the other, one was not your best choice or it became ugly in the long run... But sometimes such a choice proves really complicated, even heartbreaking. What criteria should you consider to make the right decision? Here again, our experience can help you see things differently. We can help you, just contact us.
