A safe option

Call on our tree felling experts if your tree is dead, diseased or threatening to damage your property. Tree felling is a last-resort technique, consisting in cutting a tree down to the ground to remove it completely. 

Once the tree has been cut down, you can plant a new tree.

Why get your tree cut down ?

If your tree is dead or has been infected with a contagious disease spreading uncontrollably, it is best to cut it down. Established control measures can sometimes contain the destructive effect of invasive species, such as the emerald ash borer. However, beyond a certain point, the disease becomes so out of control that the only solution is to cut down the tree. 

Felling may also be necessary when the tree represents a threat to human life, homes, electrical wires, or the growth of surrounding trees.

Is tree felling regulated ?

Several towns and cities have decided to pass a by-law to prevent abusive cutting on private property. You should check with your local municipality for more information since some towns require you to apply for an authorization certificate (tree felling permit). To be granted this certificate, you must provide some documents, including a copy of the certificate of location.

How do I cut down the tree ? 

Sectional dismantling is used to cut the tree a piece at a time and take it down. How it is cut down will depend on several factors, such as the type of wood, its state, inclination and size. The direction in which you want the tree to fall must also be taken into account.
