Pruning and brushcutting

When you have a house with land and this plot is endowed with trees, shrubs or hedges, the tranquility and serenity brought by these plants have a price :that of regular maintenance.

Pruning and brushcutting: freeing yourself from obligations

If a good pruning – that is to say cutting the branches of a tree methodically – can allow a certain tranquility for three years, the pruning of the hedges and the clearing of the brush must be carried out at least once a year, the best being to carry it out at least twice. In a deep way at the end of winter or early spring and a lighter pruning in the fall, to regulate everything.

Attention: these time markers are given generally, but the experts have precise knowledge of the periods suitable for pruning or pruning for each type of tree, shrub or hedge.

These tasks are very tedious, time-consuming and especially very dangerous when we talk about pruning trees. It is necessary to know how to handle machines such as the chainsaw and to be able to work at height.

The best idea to avoid toil and danger: have recourse to a professional. The rates of a pruner or a gardener are not exorbitant.

A legal obligation

It should be known that in some cases, and initially for the purpose of good neighborliness, it is mandatory to prune or cut hedges that would encroach on a neighbor’s plot in width or that would prevent the view or the breakthrough of the sun beyond a certain height.The reference text is Article 673 of the Civil Code.

A neighbor may quite demand to have you cut the branches of an annoying tree, or even the tree itself.

However, be careful: if it is you who are in the case of the overgrown neighbor, you can in no case cut the branches yourself (or even have it done by a professional). In this case, it is you who could be attacked and condemned.

The approach to make reason heard: a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt asking to cut its branches. And if the approach is insufficient, it is enough to contact the district courts of the jurisdiction.

It is still more pleasant to find an amicable arrangement, thinking that generally, a tree or hedges, it grows back!

A benefit for the vegetation

Without thinking about whether or not to annoy your neighbor, vegetation can also embarrass your own land. A laurel or thuja hedge can quickly grow very large, reach an inordinate diameter and largely encroach on your space. They are also plants with strong roots: the more the hedge will grow, the more the basement of your garden will be invaded, to the detriment of your flowers or plants, or even the lawn. The cutting is therefore mandatory before being submerged and having to climb to 3 meters high to prune.

Pruning and brushcutting such as hedge trimming are also necessary for the plant itself. It makes it possible to restructure it and restore it to strength, a new youth. Regular pruning offers a denser branching, new branches and a dynamization of its growth.

A nice cut for a nice shape (English garden) can also be your goal.

A professional pruner is used to different contexts. He will also be able to give the right advice for your maintenance, especially if you want to continue pruning trees after his passage. Its pruning and clearing will be carried out according to the rules of the art, respecting the times, the shoots, the temperatures and a whole bunch of criteria that escape the uninitiated (some even take into consideration the moons to decide to cut on this or that date).

Another strong point of the pruner, the gardener or the landscaper: they have the appropriate tools, and know how to use them. Using a chainsaw, even a small one, at a height of 5 meters, is quite a challenge.
