Tree trimmer and pruner in Drummondville
Our most in-demand services are pruning and pruning. These are jobs where, in both cases, sections of trees are cut down. Also, it is common to mix these two techniques. However, they differ in several aspects.
By referring to their etymology, we learn that the two terms were already distinct from the very beginning. The word Prune meant to cleanse or purify. To prune, on the other hand, meant to arrange. When we want to clean or purify, it is a matter of immediately removing the object that causes the stain, that causes our torment. The attitude is more imperative and determined. Whereas arranging conceals the idea of organizing, taking one's time, thinking about what one wants to do. A certain amount of planning goes into it. Nowadays, these same movements, one faster and more radical, the other more thoughtful and meticulous, still separate the two actions: pruning and pruning. We will see that the approach and the priority element are what separates their respective meanings. |

But what is the difference between pruning and pruning?
If there's only one thing you should remember about pruning, it's that it's a technique that cares about the well-being of the trees. This precaution is not necessarily the goal of the operation, although it can be. The main point is that, regardless of the objective, no concessions in terms of plant development are permitted. In order to respect this imperative, it is human needs that must make some compromises.
The second element to remember when it comes to pruning is that the work in question is spread out over the long term. Since the desired outcome is not immediate, the technician starts as early as possible in the life of the tree, he works step by step, he thinks and is careful, he follows a plan.
As far as pruning is concerned, as a point to emphasize, this time the health of the tree is sacrificed in the face of an imperative need. The goal is to be achieved relatively quickly. If the action remains organized, it is more crudely organized and does not fit in with long-range planning.
The most frequently cited reasons for pruning relate to the safety of people, buildings or important infrastructure. In fact, the traditional example cited as an explanation is Hydro-Québec's pruning crews, with their radical branch cutting or drastic pruning, which sometimes makes for an unattractive and unsightly spectacle, with no thought for the damage caused to the trees. But there are indeed objectives that allow for such necessities.

Tree pruning
To go into the specifics of pruning in more detail, it is important to mention that this technique only concerns the lateral branching of trees and their tops. These are the sections that need to be cut. We now know that pruning implies relatively immediate results and rather austere cuts. However, this radical measure proves to be a real attack on a tree, to the point where its growth may be affected or even death may ensue.
Except that we want to prevent a construction or a considerable infrastructure from being damaged by threatening branches or we want to prevent individuals from being injured. Sometimes it is a human need, which we hold dear, that lies at the source of pruning. Also, sometimes, in order to make a beautiful view appear, some plants find themselves putting their heads to prune, since they are blocking a breathtaking landscape. With pruning, the health of the tree must take second place to the desired objectives, because it is considered worth the plant sacrifice. Although this technique often causes harm to the tree, it sometimes avoids felling the tree.

Tree trimming
For its part, pruning is part of a plan whose implementation is spread out over time, and which, above all, does not want to harm the development of arboreal plants in any way. The pruner must think about the consequences of his actions on the tree. Each cut is justified: a branch is sick, fragile, dry, misdirected, crosses with another... Everything is done to help the plants grow in the best possible conditions.
Since with this technique, the actions taken today prepare the desired results for a distant tomorrow, it goes without saying that it can meet a preventive objective. Thus, pruning designed with this in mind can prevent further pruning.
Here are the types of projects where pruning is applied: a particular aesthetic result, maintenance of a good tree structure, growth redirection, control of the location of a future shadow cast by the twig of a foliage that promises to become giant or, on the contrary, to lighten branches for better passage of sunlight. In either case, the idea is to create a corner, one in the shade to relax, the other in the light to chat with family and friends. All this without ever losing sight of the health of the plant.
