A shredder can be useful if you need to keep your garden clean. But there are so many types that it can be disorienting to figure out what size will suit your garden best. Here’s how small garden shredders differ from large garden shredders and how you can choose the right one for your yard.
Garden shredders: small vs large
Garden shredders tend to be lighter and easier to use, as well as to transfer from one part of the garden to another. They’re superb for small yards that don’t have much to shred. Both types are suitable for small branches and leaves, but larger garden shredders and chippers are powerhouses able to shred larger branches and material. They work better for a larger yard generating more waste to shred.
Considerations for selecting the right shredder for your garden
Yard Size: Consider the size of your yard and the amount of debris you have to shred. A most logic solution, if you have a little yard and not much waste, so a little shredder will do the job. If you have a large yard with many branches and leaves, you should get a large shredder.
Power: Smaller shredders tend to have less power than larger ones. For shredding tougher or thick branches, you may require a larger shredder with increased power.
Storage Space: Smaller shredders require less space, so they are easier to store. Bigger chippers and shredders may take up more space in your garage or shed.
