There are many reasons why a homeowner may decide to cut down a tree or trees on their property. In Granby, a permit is generally required to proceed with the cutting. Once the authorization has been obtained, it is strongly recommended that the operation be carried out by a professional.
Let’s start by reviewing the main reasons why most homeowners cut down a tree or trees on their property.
A tree that is too old or diseased will weaken over time and may fall at any time. It is therefore important to cut it down before it falls and causes more or less important material and human damages.
Trees remove all the nutrients they need to grow well from the soil. However, these resources are limited and become scarce when plants are too close to each other. This is why some trees have to be cut down to allow the others to grow well.
Some homeowners also decide to cut down a few trees on their properties to clear the view or to create a less cluttered landscape. This is sometimes necessary to increase the value of their land and to attract tenants or buyers.
Finally, it is sometimes necessary to cut down a tree to free up the space on which you plan to build a building or to create a garden, a rest area or a pool.
Generally, a certificate of authorization or permit issued by the Planning and Land Management Department’s Permits and Inspections Division is required before cutting down a tree, even if it is on your property. It is therefore important to check with the appropriate authorities before cutting. Please note that one permit is sufficient, regardless of the number of trees you plan to cut down.
Felling a tree is a very delicate mission that can quickly become dangerous if you don’t have the necessary equipment or if you don’t master the techniques to be applied. Indeed, the risks of accidents, which can cause significant human and material damage, are high. That’s why we recommend that you call a professional for the cutting. He/she knows the precautionary measures to be taken as well as the techniques to be applied and has the appropriate equipment to carry out the operation safely.
