    Thanks to our extensive experience in forest management, we can also fell trees from the ground with great precision—a technique that is referred to as directional felling.

Tree pruning services

Pruning (or trimming) is a worthwhile solution in certain cases. Instead of felling a worrisome or detrimental tree, we can remove specific branches to improve the situation.

    It should be noted, however, that pruning is harmful to a tree and detrimental to its growth potential. That’s why we ensure that any pruning we do is tailored to your needs and respectful of a tree’s biological integrity.


    Pruning caters to human needs. The idea that pruning can somehow reinvigorate a tree or improve its health is an urban myth.

    • Pruning to free up infrastructure
    • Pruning to improve sunlight
    • Pruning to improve a view

Guying services

In an urban setting, trees have greater exposure to light than in the middle of a forest. As such, they often develop several codominant trunks that create Y-shaped forks.

    This type of fork is particularly weak. To remedy this situation, we can install wiring between both trunks which offers additional support against high winds. This technique is commonly referred to as guying.

Land clearing and woodland management

Several construction and home extension projects require the removal of trees, and this important step is often neglected. In order to create a home in a wooded area, under the privacy of a tree canopy, extensive plans must be made and tree felling operations must be put in motion.

    Arborex is here to assist you from start to finish—from the felling of trees to the shredding of branches and the removal of logs and residue from the construction site. Logs and woodchips are always reused and never buried; an eco-friendlier approach. Excavation can then proceed on clean and unencumbered land.


    We know that what matters is the trees that are left standing rather than those that must be felled. As such, we always work with the utmost care and precision to preserve trees that will bring great charm to your new home.


    Even if all necessary precautions are taken, building a house in a wooden area causes major stress to surrounding trees. Arborex can guide you throughout the construction process to ensure that any tree you wish to keep is as healthy as possible. We can also assess your property to identify the most resilient trees and help you choose the most strategic location for your future home under the trees.

  • My tree is too big and too big. Can you cut it in half?

    Cutting the top of a tree to considerably reduce its height is a practice known as pollarding. Although practiced by some, this type of pruning is not an effective and responsible option. Topping causes great stress on trees, making them vulnerable to insects, disease and decay (rot). After topping, the tree produces suckers (fast growing branches) weakly attached to the trunk. While the original goal was to mitigate risk by reducing the height of the tree, the tree will quickly become more dangerous than it was. If you're of the opinion that your tree is too big or too big, and you're worried about nearby buildings, topping is never a good option.

  • My tree is sick, what can I do to save it?

    he best practice in arboriculture is to act in prevention. That is, being aware of the needs of the tree and providing it with the best growing conditions. A healthy tree in a good site will be able to defend itself against diseases, fungi and insects. Rather, we must make this observation and ask ourselves the following question: “My tree is majestic, what can we do to preserve it? »

  • Is my tree safe?

    Trees are part of the living world and are subject to an unpredictable climate. This is why any tree represents a risk. We can assess your tree and the risks associated with it. This way, you will have the information you need to make an informed decision.

  • Why do the prices vary so much?

    In Quebec, the profession of arborist is not supervised by a professional order and does not require any attestation or certification. It is therefore a profession that can be exercised by anyone, anyhow. It is important to do business with a reputable arborist company. That said, well-established businesses don't have the same operating costs as Sunday workers! Here are some factors that drive prices up:

  • Do you offer a branch chipping service? Do you remove stumps?

    Yes. However, these two services are offered in addition to felling, pruning and deforestation. We do not offer these services alone.

  • What are your deadlines?

    For the first visit to estimate the work, a delay of one to three weeks must be provided. As for the execution of the work, the delay is usually four to six weeks.
