When working on your backyard to clear down any unruly trees or bushes is unforgiving work! Not only do you need to chop the bushes down, you also have to get rid of of it in an environmentally friendly manner too. This is definitely where buying and owning a wood chipper or garden shredder will be perfect.

These small machines will break apart smaller branches and plants into small pieces so that they could be reused or re-cycled in a large number of different ways. For example, a medium branch from a tree could be turned in to wood chip and then applied as a decoration on your flower beds and pots. If you might have lots of trees to shred, they could be broken down to create an area where children can play safely. Softer material like plants and shrubs could be broken down using a chipper into a finer or coarse mulch and that is then perfect for putting onto your plants to be used as a organic and totally natural fertilizer. Just mix up the reduced plant with a little watter and leave to soak in a covered bin and you will produce a perfect, locally made and compatible product to assist your replacement trees and plants flourish.

Chippers and Shredders are designed in many shapes and sizes, from smaller portable plastic models made for home gardeners only, which have tough nylon wire to chop the waste you put into it in to smaller pieces, all the way through to larger towed gas powered chipper shredders and model that are designed for industrial chipping for landscaping companies and environmental contractors. In the middle ground of this range there are many wood chippers which are made to break through the waste material that is placed into them. They are designed to take branches or sticks of no larger thickness than 2.5 inches and they will quite happily process all manner of other garden waste products without any problems at all. Products by Bearcat, Troy Bilt or Craftsman are excellent for this sort of work and will last you for a long time.

A smaller leaf shredder is also a great option for those with bigger gardens that feature big trees that shed their leaves. Pop the leaves into the leaf shredder and they will be reduced quickly and easily. The leaves are great for composting or mulching, and the shredded leaves are quickly disposed of.

You could make it a joint purchase. Join in with your neighbors and get a shredder between a group then share it equally around you all. It seems sensible to jointly own a chipper shredder as it is not required all year round.
