Best Type of Saw for Gardening

Avatar Leslie C. Harris

Let’s put it straight from the beginning: if you have a garden, you need a saw. Simply because there are trees in the garden, and where there’s a tree, there’s wood. So, a saw is a must, but which one? Reading solely electric pole saw reviews will give you information about what they are, but how do they compare to regular chainsaws or even hand models?

Why a Chain Is the Most Necessary Gardener’s Tool

While certainly, you need other tools, such as rakes, shovels, leaf blowers, etc., we should admit that all those tools are also necessary for flowerbeds, lawns, or vegetable gardens. Trees — that’s what makes the difference.

Whether they are fruit trees or park ones that create the atmosphere: they all need pruning. How better a pine or spruce looks when properly trimmed! And what about cypresses, elms, birches, maples? All of them benefit from being in shape. Fruit trees need trimming even more.

And it’s done with a saw. Or several saws, but this depends on the garden and your maintenance mode. Now, which saw is the best for gardening purposes? Let’s compare the types.

Hand Saws

If you opt for a good pole hand saw, the choice is mostly between genetic ones and special pruning saws. The former type is better because versatile: it’s suitable for woodworking or even rough works with plastic and other materials. The latter is optimized for cutting branches because of its special ergonomics and blade adjusted for wood.

If you do a little bit of pruning, these are okay. Yet if you are seriously into your garden and want to give it some effort, the problem is these tools are too slow for large projects. With them (I remember my father’s garden), you may end up exhausted and with no time left for other jobs.

Chainsaws

That’s for performance. A chainsaw (gas or electric) does the job much faster and requires less effort. There are affordable chainsaws now, with available replacement parts and decent service, by American and Asian manufacturers. Having one will definitely not harm you. But misusing can do.

So, a chainsaw requires a bit of skill before it pays for saving your time. But, as great as it is for operating on the ground level, it’s hardly useful for cutting branches up high.

Pole Saws

And these are just made for that. Equipped with telescopic poles and controls on the handle, they allow you to stay on the ground while trimming your trees at their tops. If the trees are even higher than 20 ft., you can use a ladder with these.

Pole saws are affordable too, and they also save a lot of effort. Being battery-operated, they make less noise and save you a lot of trouble. They can also be used for reaching into narrow spaces if you need to break a pile of garbage or remove some roots or bushes there. Remember that this tool is made for a specific purpose and cannot be used as your generic chainsaw.

The Answer

The general answer will sound too generic if I say that your circumstances define your best saw. Are there trees too high for you to prune from the ground? Do you plan to use your saw for any other job? How much time are you ready to make for your garden? Answer these questions, and the result will help you find your ultimate gardening tools.
