If the job is conifers over a bark/pebble/gravel border then yes, otherwise no.
If it's going to be at all tricky to pick up afterwards, then always use one.
Plants, gravel, nicely dug soil, even grass isn't ideal for collecting cuttings from. As said, with conifers it's a given, and I use one more often than not.
I use one where possible, even with doing thorny hedges over a lawn because all those small bits that drop can be a bugger if they end up half embedded in the ground.

On one off jobs which tend to be annual cuts we always use tarp sheets where possible.
I see it as what sets up apart from the competition who cut, rake and blow the remainder around the garden!

Precisely the way to go :->

Anyone know where you can get long narrow tarp instead of the usual nearly square ones? I know you can fold the wide ones but that's when I find mine getting a mind of their own and deciding to rearrange themselves. I've tried clips and ties as well but they still seem to get out of hand.
Just use them opened out? Makes no difference, it's faster, and you catch any bits that fly off at speed. :-)

If it's a tight space then I just fold mine and if it's windy I lay a spade on the tarp to keep it grounded.
Get a big square one and cut it up. About 4' widths is fine.
