Category Archives for Pruning & Cutting

Gardening requires an arsenal of landscaping tools. One of the most popular is the pole saw, which is a lightweight chainsaw on an extendable pole. Traditional chainsaws are heavy and require two hands to operate. But pole saws are lighter and easier to use. They make it simple and safe to prune at a distance.
