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.
