Branch shredder

Are you, like many others, in the case where branches pile up over the years in a corner of your property?

Or perhaps, by using our pruning, pruning or felling services, you are left with extra branch residues?

In fact, no matter what the reasons for finding yourself with such irritants, did you know that one of the services we offer is the shredding of branches into wood chips?

We offer this service because we own a shredder. There are many good reasons to use it. 

Saving of time

By shredding, you'll get rid of your waste much faster than if you did it yourself, with your own chainsaw.

While you will have fragmented your branch, you will still need to load a vehicle and bring your pieces to where you can. 

Space recovery

As you accumulate wood debris after tree work, occupying an increasing surface area on your property, it is very likely that an unpleasant feeling will grow in you at the same rate. This is because you are no longer reaping the full benefit of a property whose development is in full control. Also, by freeing up space from this useless pile, you reap the benefits of a more aesthetic aspect, not to mention the reclaimed space that is only waiting for your plans: eventually, a sandbox for children or a nice layout. 

Prevent the spread of insects and fungi

Mother Nature is an active lady! When she sees a pile of abandoned branches, she invites insects, parasites and fungi to come and settle there. The result is a different microsystem. Raccoons or skunks may be attracted. The way to avoid such a chain of inconveniences or to put an end to it is to get rid of these scraps without further delay. Postponing it until later only adds to your torment. You must also think about the indirect consequences of wood rot, unpleasant odours, the invasive presence of fungi and insects, and even small animals that have learned to live in an urban environment. Your children and pets could suffer consequences, such as bites. 

Giving new life to this debris

 The magic of a chipper is that it allows pieces of wood that have no use to become chips, a shape that makes them usable for other purposes. This opens the door to new uses and reduces the environmental footprint caused by felling, pruning or trimming. 
What can chips be used for? Hardwood chips are a great mulch for flower beds or vegetable gardens. They can also be mixed into compost. Other possible uses include animal bedding, dry toilets or (in a moderate way) fireplace fuel. The fragments could even be used for smoking food. You can also use it as a gravel substitute during the winter, on an icy or snow-covered area. These pieces can also be used to prevent weed growth, for example, on forest roads, even if they are softwood chips. In any case, it is a good idea to find out which species are suitable for which uses. 

However, if you prefer to get rid of the shavings as well, not seeing how to use them or feeling no desire to do so, we reassure you: we will leave with everything and dedicate them to new uses.​

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

Using a shredder is a high-risk task, and the risks are even higher for a beginner. At Emondage Brossard, our teams are well versed in this work and have a great deal of experience in handling this machine. We therefore strongly advise you not to proceed by yourself. It is better to use the services of our experts. 

The danger of doing it yourself is therefore first and foremost a risk to your own safety. In addition, renting such equipment could be more expensive than you think: prices are in the hundreds of dollars daily. Your vehicle will also need a ball to attach and move the heavy equipment. 

Don't risk serious injury, exorbitant costs or other inconveniences. Contact us instead, at 450-500-4569. Please note that it is free of charge for us to inquire about your expectations and to establish an evaluation of the work and costs. ​Stump removal
