Chipping is an operation that reduces branches from pruning, pruning or felling work to chips. Special equipment is required to perform such fragmentation, namely a shredder.
However, it is not only scraps from arboricultural work that are concerned. After all, who hasn't piled up piles of branches on their land over the years? Even in this case, we can shred them, which is often most welcome and appreciated.
So, whether for preliminary work including shredding, or just for this service, don't hesitate to call on our expertise.
Save time
As you can probably imagine, using a shredder for chip reduction takes much less time than using a chainsaw. Not only is it time-consuming to reduce the chips into smaller pieces yourself, but you also have to take them to a vehicle and take them to where you can dispose of them. An external service can therefore save you a lot of time.
Stop the proliferation of fungi and insects
Over time, nature decomposes wood. This long process encourages the formation of fungi. But not only do some of them reek, but you know that many of them are toxic. You certainly wouldn't want your children or pets to suffer from them.
Another significant disadvantage with any pile of branches is that it is attractive to insects. And undesirables will come (porcupines, hedgehogs, raccoons, skunks...) who will see your pile of branches as an inviting refuge.
Saving space
In our list of advantages, we cannot overlook the space release caused by shredding. At the same time, this is a security measure on your property.
Enhancing
Do you see the use of a lot of branches in the city? No, and it's rather cumbersome, isn't it? So just shred them in a shredder and the chips are ready for various uses.
So shredding is a surefire way to give a second use to what would otherwise have been a problem. Except that it doesn't tell you anything about the possible uses. For example, pieces of hardwood are used in landscaping as mulch. They can also be used as food for compost if you make it yourself. When the source is conifers, you need to consider their high acidity. This time they will be useful as a weed repellent.
When the abundance of available volumes justifies it, softwood chips are spread on forest roads. After felling, pruning or pruning, if you see no reason to keep the shredded wood chips, Émondage Sainte-Julie Pro will free you up and take charge of reusing these leftovers.
Get a shredder and do the work yourself?
Why not rent the necessary equipment and do it yourself? You may be dying to save some money. But be aware of the possible consequences before you decide. Of course, there are risks involved in using such equipment. It is not a figment of the mind to fear that serious or even serious injuries could result. If this is your first attempt, the risks are furthermore increased. While on our side, our team uses it on a daily basis.
In addition to the safety issues, there is another factor that comes into play: the practicality. First of all, your vehicle will need to be equipped with a transport ball, because a shredder is a heavy and bulky piece of equipment. What's more, such a rental is rather expensive. A shredder will cost you over $200 per day in rental costs. When you weigh all of this against each other, are the risks and inconveniences really worth the risk?
