Shovels, rs, trowels, and hand cultivators. These are the most basic of tools when it comes to landscaping. E
y home should be supplied with these basic
lem
s. T
m
just about e
y landscaping endeavor possible. Shovels to remove sod and turn soil, as well as dig the holes necessary for fixt
s like trees and hardsc
s, R
s are ess
ial to smooth out pl
ing beds and prepare ground for things like sod without packing the dirt. Trowels and hand cultivators
ow you to perform minute work t
requires more att
ion to detail. All of these tools are necessary to the proper functioning and care of a landsc
.
Prun and shears. These tools are
d to
rove the appearance of woody pl
s and trees. T
keep pl
s from encroaching in other areas, and t
also promote the o
health of the pl
s. T
help m
t
a n
appearance, and if you have topiary concerns, t
are indispensable in m
t
ing a set sh
. There are hand prun
, tools t
help with the sm
er branches and are easier to
, lopp
for getting thicker branches t
are to large for prun
, and even pruning saws t
help you with the toughest of branches. Hedge shears provide a way for hedges to be trimmed more consci
iously than with electric or gas-run trimm
(although these are widely available and
m
m
t
ing hedges much easier).
Lawnmower. This is perhaps one of the most common and most obvious of landscaping tools. It is me to keep the grass at a reasonable level, and to keep the lawn n
and healthy. Rel
d to lawnmow
in the trimming departm
are things like weed wack
, which are
y
ful in keeping edges t
't be cut by a mower nice and n
. Addition
y, the
of some special machinery, designed to elimin
thick brush is
ful to have on hand, even it is only in the form of a machine r
ed once a year.
Other tools of interest. Of cse, there are specialty tools t
may be needed depending upon on the f
s of y
landsc
. If you have a w
r fixt
, it is
ort
to m
s
t
you have the proper pumps and filt
, and t
you have little skimm
t
ow you to remove larger pieces of debris from the w
r. Automatic sprinkl
m
w
ring the lawn and y
other pl
s much easier, and you should have a garden hose for special w
ring needs. Regular ho
hold tools such as hammer and nails, levels, and drills
be helpful if you have built landsc
f
s like patios, decks, pergolas, and trellises. T
also be
ful in building things like cont
and cr
ing raised beds.
Wheelbarrow. A wheelbarrow will always be of infinite for the avid landsc
r and
ro
. Wheelbarrows are
y
ful for moving debris as well as bringing needed
lem
s to their proper places. T
haul dirt and bring in pl
s. T
m
it possible to for one p
on to carry a load t
otherwise she or he would not be able to handle. For the serious landsc
r, a wheelbarrow is indeed necessary.
When you have of the tools necessary to t
care of y
landsc
, then you are well rewarded for y
hard work. Acquiring the more common tools
also save you money in the long run, as t
be
d o
and o
ag

y, many of the more common landsc
tools are fairly sm
in size and easy to store in a garage or a shed. As long as t
are kept n
ly arranged in place, t
are easy to get to when needed, and not hard to find. Proper m
tenance of you tools is
ort
: keep them from becoming rusty, and m
s
y
lawnmower and other gas or electric
lem
s are well oiled and always have pl
y of gas. Proper care of y
tools ens
s t
you will be able to properly care for y
landsc
