We all like to make our jobs easier and having the right landscape maintenance equipment would make keeping our landscape beautiful simpler. Below we have detailed descriptions of some of the most basic and important tools every home gardener should have in their shed.
I am sure we are familiar with shovels, rakes, and trowels. Almost every home has at least one variation of landscape maintenance equipment stored in their garage or garden shed.
First the shovel, it is necessary for turning the soil, digging holes for new plantings or any other garden job that involves creating large or small holes. Secondly are the rakes.
Two rakes, a large one and a small one, make a good addition to a landscape maintenance equipment storage shed. For the huge job of cleaning up all those fall leaves you would need a large rake. The smaller rake is for the intricate task of cleaning debris from around delicate flowers.
Thirdly are trowels. Trowels are available with long or short handles. A hand trowel will have a short handle suitable for planting small flowers or vegetables plants. A larger trowel with a long handle is great for creating beds.
A good set of shears and pruners are used just a few times a year when you need to cut back overgrowth or shape up your hedges. Your fruit trees need to be pruned with a set of pruners each year to encourage new growth.
Pruners are needed during the time of the year that you want to severely trim back trees. This is especially important for fruit trees to bear a good crop of fruit in their next cycle.
Our ride-on lawnmower is my husband's personal favorite piece of landscape maintenance equipment, which he uses to mow our 2 acres. You may have very small lawn area that will only require a push style mower. The majority of people need some type of power mower.
Finally, the lawnmower, this is a basic piece of landscape maintenance equipment that every home has and is used for maintaining a beautiful lawn. Again, the lawnmower comes in a variety of sizes depending on the size of your lot. We own a ride-on lawnmower because we have over an acre of green area to maintain. Most lawnmowers come with different attachments that can be used to cut lawn, pick up leaves, and mulching jobs.
