Why hire a qualified pruner

What is a pruner?

A pruner is a person technically trained to climb a tree and to provide pruning care, either to integrate the tree into the infrastructure or to clean it of diseased or dying elements. Basically, like a plumber, a mechanic, a health technician, a pruner must know the proper working techniques and the elements that make up his work subject; the tree.

Why hire a tree pruner specifically?

A pruner is therefore a specialist in the implementation of structural and/or sanitary interventions on a tree. Climbing with the help of ropes and retention mechanisms to prevent falls or uncontrolled descents (with the help of pulleys, slings, etc.), pruning and pruning a tree which requires general knowledge of botany and tree mechanics are learning that are specific to the pruner.

Why graduate?

Graduation is possible in Quebec in pruning. Training and obtaining a diploma in pruning is a guarantee, if the standards taught are respected, of work carried out by a professional in his trade.

The tree, like the vast majority of plants in urban areas, must develop in a difficult environment, with sometimes low water and nutrient inputs. But what differentiates it from other plants is its height and composition.

Wood has mechanical properties that allow the tree to reach respectable heights, requiring the pruner to have specific knowledge in botany, because the tree is also composed of living cells, and in mechanical resistance. The pruner has the duty to preserve and secure the urban forest.

The tasks for which you should do business with a professional pruner are;
-Planting,
- Training pruning,
- Pruning,
- Securing the structure,
- Directed felling or dismantling by retention (a tree in an urban environment must generally be dismantled piece by piece with a retention with rope of the branches, parts of the trunk for descent to the ground),
- Application of amendment (compost)
-Hedge trimming
