Trimming tools are important for landscaping maintenance, with different tools tailored for different tasks. All your trees, hedges, and bushes require both pruning and trimming for health and appearance purposes.
Do I need a pruner or trimmer for trees and bushes?
Both pruning and trimming tools are important for all plants in your garden or yard. Pruning shears, hedge shears, and other pruning tools are suited for shrubs, vines, flowers, tree growths, branches, and twigs. Loppers, for example, are larger than small shears with thicker blades and longer handles, and pole saws are perfect for reaching those hard-to-get-to areas. On the other hand, electric trimmers have cutting blades to shape and size different shrubs and hedges with more precision.
What are pruning & trimming tools used for?
Pruning tools help improve the plant’s overall health by removing decaying areas and to prevent spread. Cutting off these areas help plant and flower growth. Trimming is primarily for keeping up the plant’s appearance and can also help sunlight reach smaller plants or the inner areas of shrubs and hedges.
What is the best tool for trimming trees, bushes, and shrubs?
Although there is a large selection of tools to choose from, it’s important to have the basics. This includes garden shears, a lopper, a small pruner, and a tree pruner. Having these tools ensures that you can maintain a variety of plants effectively. Canadian Tire has a great selection of trimming tools from top brands such as Fiskars and Yardworks so you can ensure precise grooming.
