Frequently Asked Questions – Tree Pruning in Gatineau
Is a permit required for pruning?
The City places particular emphasis on the felling permit. For pruning, follow good practices and safety regulations; if electrical wires are involved, special rules apply (see Q3). For any borderline cases, call 311 or consult the City of Gatineau portal for more information.
Can I prune near power lines?
If people, tools, branches or equipment are likely to come within 3 m of overhead wires, do not touch and contact our team.
What safety rules apply during pruning?
The work must comply with CNESST guides (PPE, working at height, compliant saw, directional felling procedures, etc.).
When is it best to prune?
Often outside the migratory bird nesting season and when the tree is dormant (depending on the species). Avoid any action that could harm a nest, eggs or birds protected by the Migratory Birds Regulations (MBR 2022); assess the risks according to your area.
What sectors do you serve?
We operate throughout the Outaouais region (e.g., Gatineau, Hull, Aylmer, Buckingham, Masson-Angers). For specific municipal requirements, refer to the City's website.
Good pruning practices for tree health?
Limit cutting to what is strictly necessary, avoid removing too much leaf mass in a single operation, and favor clean cuts (in the correct anatomical location). If you are unsure, contact our team.
