Key Takeaways

✦

Efficiently size debris: Cut branches into manageable 5-foot sections for easier loading and to maximize space in your dump insert, reducing trips.

✦

Utilize appropriate tools: Employ smaller battery-powered trimmers for initial 'dressing' of bushes and save chainsaws for thicker limbs and trunk sections.

✦

Prioritize safety and client property: When working near fences or structures, opt for cutting over pulling to prevent damage, even if it takes longer.

✦

Strategic loading: Place heavier stumps and wood on top of lighter brush in your truck or trailer to compact the load and prevent lighter materials from blowing out.

✦

Be prepared for equipment challenges: Always have spare batteries and be aware of proper chain tension for saws to avoid delays and maintain efficiency.

✦

Thorough stump removal: For a clean finish, dig around stumps a few inches below ground level before cutting to ensure they are fully removed and not a future obstruction.

✦

Cover your load: Always cover brush or mulch being hauled to comply with regulations and prevent debris from falling out during transport.
