Trees, an important component of the ecology even in a city like Montreal. Trees not only provide shade they also are homes for birds, small animals and they freshen the air. They are living parts of the community and just like any living thing they experience growth and health issues. They can be and are beautiful and are also a hazard in some ways. Especially when they grow up near a power line. We have lots of trees on our street, one was cut last year as it was old and dying. This year a new one was planted in front of our house, I decided to name it Bob. There is another tree near our house that has been pruned and it looks like it has a big whole in it. It's actually called a V prune and this type of cut allows the tree to grow in such a way that the growth moves away from the power line which by the way runs through the hole. Actually there are four power lines that run through it. I thought that it looked interesting so I keyed a search for companies that do this kind of work and found Emond St. Germain et Freres.
The company does a variety of work. Pruning, topping and felling a tree are among the specialties of the company. They also have some interesting info in the FAQ section of the site. The health of the tree is the concern of the team and they take pride in the work they do, this is evidenced by the photos on the site.
