Four Must-Have Brush Cutting Tools

Managing overgrowth on your property can be a real headache, but with the right equipment, it can be a much easier process.

Here are four tools that can help you more effectively manage overgrowth:

BRUSH CLEARING SICKLE

If vines, weeds and wild grass are a problem on your property, a sickle could be an excellent tool for you. Their unique, versatile design makes them useful in several applications, whether you’re clearing tall grass around trees, removing vines or even harvesting vegetables in your garden.

LOPPER

If you’re dealing with thick vines and branches that need trimming or removal, a lopper is a must. Most loppers can cut through branches up to two inches in diameter, making them a great option for removing the thicker brush that other tools can’t manage.

CHAINSAW

If power tools are more your thing, chainsaws are a great option for clearing thick brush. They aren’t great for precise removal, but if you’re clear cutting larger areas, chainsaws can be an efficient tool. Just be careful and make sure to always wear protective gear.

BRUSH MOWER

Brush mowers are a powerful tool for removing difficult overgrowth like blackberry bushes. They cut the brush at the base, making it easier to treat the roots and prevent future growth. While brush mowers tend to be expensive to buy, you can rent one for a reasonable price or hire someone to do it for you.
