Why do you need a wood chipper?

In the past, you used to be able to simply burn off any yard debris in your own backyard. Today, most people will line their curbs with bags filled with garden debris for the garbage man to collect. However, in some places, you can’t do that because it is illegal. What happens to the leaves, pruning debris and fallen branches in your garden? That’s where a wood chipper, leaf shredder, or even a tree grinder comes in handy. These tools are ideal for turning that pile of leaves, the left over clippings from your forsythia bushes, the pruned hedge clippings into a nutrient rich fertilizer or mulch for your flower bed. A wood chipper is a large power tool that you use outside to greatly reduce the amount of debris you have in your yard and make disposal much easier. These are useful for gardeners and landscapers who live in an area where it is illegal for companies to collect the waste or to open burn the waste. The chips that are produced can be used for walkways, put in your flower beds or use as a compost.   To learn more about how we can move your trees do get in touch!
