Wood chipper

Many people have a mound of branches on their property that keeps growing over the years. Perhaps you are one of them. Of course, if you resort to services such as tree trimming, pruning or even cutting down trees, the infamous pile will only get worse or you will find yourself having to start another one. Fortunately, there is a very useful service available, namely chipping with a branch chipper. This is, as the name implies, a device designed to shred branches, which come out as chips. Let's look at a list of benefits of this service.

Time saving

The very first good thing about using a chipper is that it will be done significantly faster than if you took your chainsaw to do it.
 
Except that there is another element to consider if you choose to do it yourself: you will obviously have to find a place to take it, since forming yet another pile of branches is not the best idea.

The time this step takes adds to the time you would save by having the work done by properly equipped specialists.

Space recovery

It's not only time that can be saved by having your branches shredded. If you have your pile of branches shredded, you will also benefit from a free space. This also means that your property will look better maintained and will be safer.

Preventing the spread of insects and fungi

Isn't it better to let the natural decay work for us? Sure, you would save time and money... but only in the short term. You risk attracting fungi with this unfortunate decision. Some of them can stink or be toxic. Think of the risks you would be putting your pets, even your children or those of your relatives, at risk. They should not touch or eat them.
 
And if we say "moisture", we also say "attracted wild animals". Porcupines or hedgehogs, raccoons or skunks, as well as insects, will visit you. Inconveniences can ensue, and they are avoidable. The best way to save yourself from such worries is to contact us. Emondage Mont-Royal also offers many tree maintenance services.

Giving new life to this debris

The chipper turns your branches into chips, transforming them from bulky debris into reusable material. These can then be used for a number of useful purposes. In addition, the ecological footprint of operations such as pruning, trimming or felling is also reduced.
    
Depending on the species of wood, there are many possible uses for the chips; here are some ideas: 

•  in flower beds or vegetable gardens, 
  
• integrated into your compost,  
  
•  as animal bedding,  
  

•  in a dry toilet, 
  
• as fuel in your woodstove (in moderation though), 
  
• as an abrasive on snow or ice,  
  
• as a weed repellent, 
  
• spread on forest roads,  
  

• for smoking food... 
  

  
None of this appeals to you? It's possible, and there's nothing wrong with you not wanting to recover the chips even after chipping. Our concern is to satisfy you, so we will only take them back. ​

A good idea to rent a shredder and do it yourself?

The shredder is a dangerous machine to operate. Therefore, it is strongly discouraged that homeowners who do not have sufficient experience in its use attempt to do so. Our team at Emondage Mont-Royal has the necessary experience to use it carefully. Our trademark is a concern for a job well done, and that goes for all our tree care services. So, instead of taking on the job of operating this device, let our experts do it for your safety.

The risk is real. Moreover, it is not certain that renting a machine will save you money. It will probably cost you several hundred dollars a day. You will also need to have a ball on your vehicle, because a shredder weighs a lot.

Avoid the risk of injury and call us at 514-500-7577. Our quotes for the work to be done are free. You will have all the time to weigh the pros and cons afterwards.
