Tree pruning and care

Tree felling

Although we want to do everything we can to preserve and enhance the beauty of trees, there are times when felling a tree is necessary. A tree may have become dangerous as it grows and may be harming the surrounding environment. It may have reached the end of its life or it may cause diseases.

Our teams can handle these jobs, which can sometimes be difficult, risky or complicated. We use appropriate means, such as craning or progressive dismantling of trees, while guaranteeing total safety.

Tree pruning

Whatever the type of pruning – training, maintenance or aesthetic, our tree pruners know perfectly well the distinctions between these procedures and techniques.

We prefer gentle or regulated pruning, as opposed to extreme pruning, always taking into account the tree species or variety and the season.

Palm pruning

Palms are generally pruned in two ways.

Aesthetic pruning allows us to enhance the beauty of our palms on a regular basis, while keeping a close eye on their condition to prevent the many virulent pests that attack them. The tree pruning teams at Adonis Paysages are fully trained and used to this delicate task, and can offer you a range of pruning solutions tailored to the variety and specific characteristics of your trees. Once pruned, your palms will be systematically treated using organic methods to protect them during the healing period.

Sanitary pruning is the last resort when palms are attacked or infested by Red Weevils or the Paysandisia Archon moth. A strict set of procedures for treating and possibly felling palms must be adopted and followed, and must be reported to the Direction Régionale de l’Alimentation, de l’Agriculture et de la Forêt – DRAAF (the French Regional Directorate for Food, Agriculture and Forests). The pruning and plant care department at Adonis Paysages is fully qualified and duly undergoes all the training and applies all the techniques required for these urgent and delicate jobs. We will take care of these jobs as well as the necessary paperwork.

Treatments

Phytosanitary and organic products for regulated treatments. By favouring organic products and organic soil improvers and fertilisers, Adonis Paysages is committed to adopting an eco-friendly approach to the controlled use of phytosanitary products. So that we can provide you with a quality and safe service, we hold all the necessary authorisations to use these products. Our teams undergo essential ongoing training to keep abreast of the latest developments in terms of respect for the planet and environmental protection.

Our recommendations

We treat a large number of palms and pine trees throughout the Côte d’Azur and have set up proactive and preventive campaigns to protect your tree heritage.

Preventive and organic treatments using nematodes are carried out regularly every three weeks from March to October to combat the Red Palm Weevil and the Palm Moth. In particular, this allows us to monitor plants more closely and more regularly

whatever the variety or location. We also use traps to monitor and measure flight activity and egg-laying periods.

We work closely with plant health laboratories to provide the best possible treatment for trees and palms, and to ensure that our staff are well-trained and efficient. Adonis Paysage is now one of the landscaping companies authorised to carry out pest control treatments on pine trees.
