Hedge trimmer/saw

thelawnet

I'm looking for a saw I can use to cut my Leylandii hedge and that can also cut tree trunks into firewood.

Any suggestions?

Go to a specialist garden machine retailer and ask advice. Watch out for the very cheap stuff as spares are often not available and the machine may have to be binned. Having said that it may well give years of service.

Do you want something that will trim the green on the hedge or do you mean cut branches back?

Not wishing to be critical, but you can't usually use the same tool for cutting hedges and sawing logs. You haven't said whether you want powered tools or manual tools or described the size of the hedge or the logs to be cut up. Without this sort of information it is difficult to offer any constructive advice or recommend particular tools and brands.

Don't expect to make firewood from Leylandii either. It'll spit like hell, clog chimney with tar, and stink.....

The firewood would be birch. I don't use a huge amount of firewood, just the occasional fire. But I'm not sure if it's worth getting a separate trimmer.

The Leylandii is about 10-feet tall.
