Cut without wounding: the tree grows on, instead of fighting back.

A tree topped with a chainsaw doesn't heal — it panics. It throws out weakly anchored water shoots, it opens wounds it will never close, and ten years later it is the tree that has become dangerous.

Sound pruning does the opposite. Cut little, cut precisely, respect the tree's own healing points. Crown thinning to let wind and light through, reducing over-extended branches back to a growth point, removing deadwood and crossing limbs.

As a climber, Fabien works from inside the tree. He sees every branch up close before deciding. That is the difference from a cherry picker: you don't cut what you haven't examined.

When to prune

When a branch threatens a roof, a line, a path. When the tree is so dense it catches the wind like a sail. When deadwood builds up in the crown. On fruit trees, every winter.

And if the tree is fine: when it isn't necessary, we say so. A healthy tree that bothers nobody doesn't need touching.

Which season

During dormancy — autumn and winter — for most species: the tree is at rest, and wounds close better the following spring. Deadwood and dangerous branches, on the other hand, come out in any season. During nesting, we wait: the birds come first.

How a job unfolds

1. We look at the tree — A free site visit. Species, health, constraints around it. Fabien climbs if he needs a closer look.
2. A written quote — What gets cut, what doesn't, what happens to the arisings. No surprise extras.
3. The job — Area cordoned off, ropes rigged, cuts made from within the tree. Your ground is never crushed by a machine.
4. The site is left clean — Branches chipped or taken away, as agreed. We don't leave a pile behind us.
