Tree removal, wood chipping, tree pruning and hedge trimming in Alfred. Alfred is a village on Highway 17 in the Township of Alfred and Plantagenet, next to the Alfred Bog. Fully insured with $5 million in liability insurance, bilingual, with 24-hour emergency service and free on-site estimates.
Alfred is in the Township of Alfred and Plantagenet, outside the City of Ottawa, so Ottawa's tree by-law does not apply here. Rules vary from one municipality to the next, so we check before taking down a tree near a road or municipal land.
Anywhere in Ontario, a tree whose trunk grows across the property line belongs to both neighbours (section 10 of the Forestry Act), and both must agree before it comes down.
The Alfred Bog, south of the village, is the largest high-quality peat bog left in southern Ontario, with more than 3,300 hectares protected (source). Around its edges the ground stays wet and soft, and trees on wet, shallow soil tend to root shallow. After a long wet spell or a windstorm, a leaning tree on soft ground is worth a look before it goes over.
The emerald ash borer was confirmed in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell in August 2011 (source). It kills healthy ash trees as well as weak ones, and a dead ash turns brittle fast, so standing dead ash near a house, lane or road is worth taking down before it drops limbs.
