Question 1

What is the difference between elagage and emondage?

Accepted Answer

Élagage involves the complete removal of dead or interfering branches, creating light wells, and reducing foliage by about 20-25% to lessen wind resistance and lighten the structure. Émondage refers to the removal of a bulky or dangerous section of a tree.

Question 2

How often should trees be pruned?

Accepted Answer

We recommend pruning every 3 to 5 years for mature trees and every 2 to 3 years for growing trees.

Question 3

What is stump removal?

Accepted Answer

Stump removal involves our arborists removing stumps after felling using a machine with a disc that grinds the stump 8 to 12 inches deep. The mulch is then collected, giving you back lost land.

Question 4

Why is stump removal important?

Accepted Answer

A stump left in place after felling quickly becomes an obstacle, limiting land use, attracting insects, and complicating lawn maintenance. Our stump removal service helps you reclaim every square meter of your property.

Question 5

When is tree felling necessary?

Accepted Answer

Tree felling is necessary when a diseased tree risks infecting neighboring trees or falling on its own and causing damage, and when pruning and trimming are no longer sufficient.

Question 6

What are the benefits of bracing (haubanage)?

Accepted Answer

Bracing secures the forks and weak branches of a tree using specialized equipment to prevent tearing.
