If you have trees on your property, you will need to care for them to keep them healthy and green. The first step in providing this maintenance is to assemble a proper tool kit for the job. Fortunately the tools you will need are simple and fairly basic.
Saws
Miter Saw Blade
One of the main jobs you will face is the removal of dead or dying limbs. The best tool for this is a limb saw which is designed for the purpose. This can be purchased at any hardware store or home improvement center. A crosscut saw can also be used for that purpose.
For larger limbs one of the best tools you can use is a small chainsaw. The electric ones are cheaper but you will need to have a cord to provide power. There are some battery-powered chainsaws available but they are not reliable because of the amount of electricity the battery can store. If you want to cut all day you will probably need a gasoline powered chainsaw.
For work in the yard, an electric powered model will probably suffice. There are now many excellent electric ones available for less than 0.
There are also a variety of powered limb saws available for these purposes as well. These are expensive and should probably only be purchased if you have a lot of trees to maintain.
Other Tools
Axes and sledgehammers can be used to knock off smaller limbs but they don't work as good as a saw. A better means of taking off such branches is a pair of pruning sheers. Such sheers are available at hardware stores and online.
There are also electric and gasoline powered devices called pole pruners. These can be used to prune or cut branches fairly high up in the average tree without using a ladder. A pole pruner is nothing but a chainsaw on the end of a pole that a person can use to cut a high limb with. This makes the job easier and safer. Both fixed length and telescoping versions of these devices are available. Such gadgets are available online and at most hardware stores, home centers, discount stores and department stores.
Another tool that you might need is a knife to remove excess bark from palms. The best blade to use for this task is a sharp carpet knife which can also be used to control the spread of moss and fungus.
Finally go and check hardware stores, websites and other outlets there are now a wide variety of tree maintenance tools available. These devices make caring for the foliage in your yard easier and safer.
