Pruning and pruning are among the most popular techniques among our customers. Contrary to popular belief, pruning and pruning are not identical. Although in both cases tree sections are removed, the goal in each case is not the same.
What is the difference between pruning and pruning a tree? Let's look at pruning first. The goal here is to keep the tree in good condition. The idea is to make its development as easy as possible, to make only the required cuts and to plan to achieve this result. You can rest assured that even in the case of pruning, we take care to respect your needs. The principle of this technique is to prioritize the future impact that each movement can have on the growth of a tree.
Now, what about pruning? This time, the technique is aimed at solving specific problems. Immediate needs come to the forefront. Even if what will be done is not the best for the condition of a tree, it is the immediate goal that is the focus of attention. Let us illustrate this with a specific case. For example, when Hydro-Québec employees are pruning trees, their main concern is the safety of the system. The risk of damage caused by branches growing too close to power lines takes precedence over the appearance of a tree. Safety is the first priority, and the consequences for the tree come later.
Tree trimming
Pruning is an operation where the head or side branches of a tree are removed. Did you know that pruning a tree causes stress? It is to the point where some people die as a result of such a gesture. That's why this technique should be used as a safety measure. This is the case when, during its growth, a tree grows too close to a building, to the point of risking damage to the structure, which will not necessarily be repairable. Thus, pruning is especially suitable in situations such as these:
-Trim a tree to prevent future damage to the structure of a building because it grows too close. -Remove all branches at the base of a tree to create an oasis of calm. - Cut down the tops of a lot of trees that were blocking the magnificent view that you can now enjoy.
Tree pruning
Pruning is aimed at a desired future result that can be planned over the long term. In the future, you will obtain a particular appearance or condition for your tree. Our trained staff, when pruning, however, takes care to remove only the necessary branches. It goes without saying, however, that those that are dry or diseased are cut down. This is also the case if they are damaged or too fragile. Careful pruning over time can prevent future pruning. Pruning is prepared for situations where :
-You want to highlight the magnificence of a tree. - You'd like to have dried out or broken branches removed. -You would like your tree or its branches to grow in a different direction. -You would like a sunnier patio and want the shade a tree casts to be reduced.
