Here’s How to Find the Right Chainsaw & Chipper for Your Property.

Whether you’re cutting brush, trimming branches, or felling whole trees, you need the right tools for the job at hand. If you have a larger property with lots of trees and bushes, a gas chainsaw is your best option. It’s got plenty of power to cut down large trees, plus the noise and fumes are less likely to bother distant neighbours. You can also roam your land freely because you’re not tethered to a cord. An electric chainsaw is less powerful and ideal for small to medium jobs like trimming branches or cutting up firewood logs. A battery-powered chainsaw gives you lightweight portability and is well-suited to light duty maintenance tasks on smaller trees and shrubs. For hard-to-reach spots consider a pole saw, which can extend your reach up to twelve feet without using a ladder.

You might also consider a wood chipper to convert branches, twigs and leaves into eco-friendly compost or mulch. As with chainsaws, gas-powered chipper shredders are the most powerful and can easily break down branches up to 15 cm thick. Electric wood chippers are better suited to leaves and smaller branches up to 4 cm in thickness.
