cutting pampas grass with a chainsaw

Recommended Posts

hey folks been asked to remove some pampas grass but they're too close to the footpath to just wrench out with a digger without destroying the path. Customer is happy to have them cut down to near ground level, I read up about using a chainsaw, anyone have any experience of this as all I have to compare it to is hitting palm froms with the strimmer which sucks. Will the pampas grass just choke the chain?

Surely it will just grow back again? I've taken loads of Pampas and Bamboo root balls out with the grinder. It goes through them like there's nothing there!:thumbup:

I'm guessing it would do the same if it was still standing. Probably create quite a mess though? I'd like to try and ratchet strap around the top and then grind the base. I reckon that would work nicely!
