Trimming and Pruning

Tree trimmer and tree pruner,Repentigny

Pruning and trimming is what our company, Emondage Repentigny, most often provides as a service. But are you aware that these two operations are not complete equivalents? Certainly, in one case as in the other, it is a question of cutting sections of trees. But not in the same way in either case. So let's explore in more detail these two techniques that our tree care service offers, among many others. 

Difference between pruning and trimming

Pruning is a gentler technique than its parallel, pruning, one might say. Indeed, because it is executed while making sure not to harm a tree. It is spread over a longer period of time and involves some planning. Each gesture is carried out with caution, with an approach that cares about the result on the arboricultural development. The cuts are therefore all thought out. The work then implies reflection, as well as finesse in the gestures. Of course, you may have a goal that is not as such to preserve the health of your trees, but this careful work is part of the rules of the art. ​

Pruning is much more drastic. It is usually done in imperative situations. It could be that it was too late, or that a construction could not be done otherwise. Another reason could be that safety is at stake. In short, in pruning, the importance of the objective, often unavoidable, justifies sacrificing the health of the specimen. 

You have certainly witnessed at one time or another those strangely ugly trees after the passage of Hydro-Québec pruners! This radical action was necessary to preserve the electrical network. Safety is more important than the aesthetics or the health of a tree that has become a nuisance in spite of itself.

Tree trimming

Why prune? Because pruning would not meet the objective in view. The importance of tourism to the economy of a region could justify pruning by an MRC, for example, by removing a small group of trees to provide a breathtaking view. Preservation of public infrastructure is another reason to prune. A tree whose branches are too close to a building or a driveway may warrant pruning. Again, there are safety reasons for pruning. 
  
If a pruning represents a danger for the development of a tree, it is because it causes it a terrible shock. It involves removing a large proportion of its branches. Sometimes it can even lead to the death of the specimen. Use our certified arborists: they will judge the situation correctly before proceeding with a pruning.

Tree pruning

Pruning can prevent a tree from having to be pruned later or even cut down. However, it should be done early. 
  
The pruner first assesses the silhouette. His goal is to cut only the essential. He locates the dead, weak or broken branches. And he cuts them. He will proceed to the cut there if the health of the tree is not put at risk, also so as not to harm the structure, even to improve it. Thus, the specimen strengthens, because it does not have to unnecessarily divide its energy with diseased branches. It can use all of it for the healthy ones. Pruning is also a beauty cure for trees. In the case of fruit trees, their production is also stimulated. 
  
Moreover, the pruning technique lends itself to many pretexts. If necessary, the trajectory of a branch can be modified. This can include planning where to cast the shadow of the branch and where to avoid doing so. Your landscape can benefit from this, depending on your goals. Perhaps you want light on your outdoor dining area but shade for the lounge area. 
  
Pruning means well-maintained trees. It is a regular care that your large plants deserve from you. The pruner masters a know-how and has the knowledge and experience to know which gestures to associate with a particular species, its specific development and its particular needs.
