Suppose it came an ice storm.

You stand on your porch and you hear tree limbs breaking, and breaking and breaking. You know that once everything warms up that you will have quite a lot of tree debris to clean up.
It’s a waste to pile it up and burn it in a brush pile.
It’s a shame to cut it into lengths and set by the curb for the trash-man.
What’s best?
Cut what you can into usable lengths for the fireplace, or fire pit or barbecue and turn the rest into wood chips for mulch.
A big gas powered chipper will make fast work of the tree limbs, sticks and twigs in your yard. You’ll be turning all that storm debris into valuable mulch to be used in and around your own yard around your plants and trees. Mulch helps retain moisture, something all your plants could use a little help with. Saving moisture saves watering. Less watering means more time and money in your pocket.
Choose a wood chipper that’s sized for the types of materials you’ll need to chip. You can choose a model that chops up leaves for mulch, or a small gas powered model that will handle small tree limbs. You can even ‘macho’ up and go for the big gas powered wood chipper that can handle limbs up to three inches.
Whatever model you choose, you’ll find that turning yard debris into valuable mulch will have great benefits. Not only did you get out into the fresh air, you cleared land. YOU made mulch.
