Tree Removal and Care in Blainville: Preparing an Application
Blainville’s wooded residential neighbourhoods make tree and conservation-area protection an important consideration. Work should account for the tree’s condition, access, and site conditions.
Rules can change and depend on your property. Always confirm your project’s requirements with the municipality before work begins.
Tree removal authorization
An authorization certificate is required to remove a tree with a diameter of 10 cm or more, measured 1.4 m above ground. The City also treats removing half or more of such a tree’s crown or roots as tree removal. The application must explain the reason and document the trees involved.
Permit fee
The municipal page consulted lists the tree removal certificate as free; confirm when you apply.
Processing time
Confirm with the City based on your application.
Steps to follow
- 1List the trees involved, including each one’s location, type, and diameter.
- 2Prepare photos of each tree and an overall view of the property.
- 3Submit the certificate application to the City and wait for its decision before work begins.
Tree replacement and protection
The City requires removed trees to be replaced. The replacement tree and its size must meet the municipal conditions that apply to your application.
Ash trees may require special attention because of the emerald ash borer. Confirm the current rules for removal, transport, and disposal of the wood with the City.
Property considerations
Wooded strips, easements, and enclosed yards can limit equipment access. Check property boundaries and protected areas before planning access.
Safety first: are branches near electrical lines?
Never touch the tree or wires. Choose the type of line to see what to do. If you cannot identify it with confidence, keep your distance and contact Hydro-Québec.
If a wire is down, sparks are visible, or there is immediate danger, move at least 10 metres away and call 911.
