Felling, pruning and trimming are services that create debris. However, this debris can be reduced to chips through the chipping operation. The machine that does this is a chipper. There are a variety of circumstances in which shredding is appropriate. For example, if you have accumulated a pile of branches year after year that you can't use again, you will be happy to get rid of them by having them shredded. Don't think that you need to have this debris from our services, such as pruning. Even if you've never done business with us before, we can shred your pile of branches or other wood debris.
Time saving
Imagine having to break up a huge pile of branches with your chainsaw into smaller pieces and then having to move it by hand to your vehicle and then dispose of it in the appropriate places. Wouldn't that be a long and unpleasant task? The advantage of a shredder is that the fast service it provides directly prevents you from having to perform these exhausting tasks. This saves you time and effort that is now available for other more rewarding activities.
Prevent the proliferation of insects and fungi
You may be thinking that Mother Nature will take care of reducing your branches through rotting. But don't forget that these are also conditions that are conducive to fungus growth. Some of them can give off a stench or be lethal to pets, such as cats and dogs.
A mound of branches is also a damp place. This is exactly the kind of place where insects like to settle and breed. It is also the type of refuge that skunks or raccoons seek, as well as porcupines and field mice!
Free up space
Another important aspect to consider is that by getting rid of your branches, you will be reclaiming space that was previously unusable. Not to mention that this pile of debris was a safety hazard.
Revalorisation
In addition to evacuating the frustration that also accumulates with branches piled up over time, getting rid of them by having them shredded will allow you to find a second use for them, since the machine reduces them to chips. Thus, they can be useful in the compost to feed it or as mulch in a landscape.
However, it should be noted that chips from conifers are acidic, which must be taken into account in their reuse. This characteristic has the advantage of repelling weeds. Spreading them on roads in the forest is also possible.
If you cannot consider an application for your shredded residues, especially after pruning, trimming or felling trees, we know what to do with them at Emondage Chambly and can leave with them.
