In this article, we\u2019ll show you the <strong>most important garden tools<\/strong> you\u2019ll need. Get to know the basic tools that\u2019ll help with tidying up your garden and keeping your plants healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-manual-garden-tools\">Manual garden tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the core kit of manual garden tools you can\u2019t do without:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Garden trowel<\/strong> \u2013 perfect for digging flower beds or planting shrubs and perennials. You\u2019ll also use it for those heavy-duty jobs, so make sure it\u2019s lightweight but tough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spade<\/strong> \u2013 ideal for digging up soil, loosening dirt, and breaking up clumps. It\u2019s a must-have for prepping the ground, especially if you\u2019re planning on creating a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspiration\/create-a-rock-garden-step-by-step\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mdspan datatext=\"el1724834062782\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">rock garden<\/mdspan> <\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rake<\/strong> \u2013 with multiple tines, it\u2019s brilliant for loosening soil and clearing weeds. Use it to dig out bulbs or pull up plants more easily than with a trowel.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pitchfork<\/strong> \u2013 often found in farming but just as handy for gardening. Whether you\u2019re dealing with compost, aerating your lawn, or breaking up soil, a garden fork or pitchfork is a must. Make sure to choose the right tine shape and number based on what you\u2019ll use it for!&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pruning shears<\/strong> \u2013 for cutting stems, shoots, and branches. Choose single-hand shears for smaller jobs, and for thicker branches, opt for long-handled pruners or loppers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Axe<\/strong> \u2013 not just for forestry! It\u2019s great if you\u2019ve got trees in your garden, burn firewood in your fireplace, or enjoy a campfire.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wheelbarrow<\/strong> \u2013 essential for moving soil, fertiliser, organic waste, seedlings, and more. Choose between one-wheel or two-wheel models depending on what you\u2019re transporting.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking to spruce up your balcony?

These machines, which look a bit like lawnmowers, come with either electric or petrol engines. They break up the soil and aerate it as they go. For bigger areas, you could use a harrow \u2013 it\u2019s an agricultural tool with tines that attach to a tractor to work the soil on large plots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why is soil loosening so important? To get the most from your plants and veg, you\u2019ve got to <strong>prepare the soil properly<\/strong>. Loosening breaks up clumps and allows air to reach the soil. A tiller\u2019s rotating blades do this job quickly, so there\u2019s no need for manual levelling afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-battery-operated-and-petrol-powered-garden-tools-\">Battery-operated and petrol-powered garden tools&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Manual tools are just the start! Now it&#8217;s time to add some battery-operated and petrol-powered gear to your arsenal. These are pricier than, say, a rake, but they&#8217;ll save you a great deal of time effort in the long run. And if you\u2019ve got a big garden, investing in one or more of these is a no-brainer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Petrol lawnmowers<\/strong> \u2013 these are a must-have for lawn care. Unlike electric models, petrol mowers usually have a wider cutting path, meaning they\u2019re more efficient for larger spaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cordless trimmer<\/strong> \u2013 this lightweight and manoeuvrable <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/garden-equipment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mdspan datatext=\"el1724835704004\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">garden tool<\/mdspan><\/a><\/strong> helps you trim grass in those tricky spots your mower can\u2019t reach, like around trees, kerbs, and flower beds.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cordless hedge trimmer<\/strong> \u2013 ideal for trimming hedges, shrubs, and rock gardens. As it\u2019s such a versatile tool for garden maintenance, you&#8217;re bound to use it frequently, so check whether the blades are replaceable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-garden-care-tools-for-your-flowers-and-plants\">Garden care tools for your flowers and plants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve got the basics sorted for year-round garden care, it\u2019s time to think about <strong>watering and cleaning tools<\/strong>. Everyone knows plants need water, but not everyone realises that you can automate watering down to the minute! Drip hoses are especially effective for this.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping things clean is just as important as watering. It has a huge impact on the <strong>look and feel of your green space<\/strong>. After a storm, you can quickly tidy up dry leaves and small branches using a leaf blower.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n              <div id=\"expondo-products-block_e1288701f71d953eee67d5434a3d3a94\" class=\"expondo-block expondo-block--products\">\n          <div class=\"expondo-block__inner-container\">\n            <ul class=\"list list--products\">\n                              <li class=\"item\">\n                  <a href=\"\/hillvert-soaker-hose-30-m-10090154\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.expondo.com\/asset\/product_photos\/10090154_photo_1\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" alt=\"\" class=\"image\" \/>\n                  <\/a>\n                  <strong class=\"title\">\n                    <a href=\"\/hillvert-soaker-hose-30-m-10090154\">\n                        Soaker Hose &#8211; 30 m                    <\/a>\n                  <\/strong>\n\n                                      <span class=\"price\">\n                                          <\/span>\n                                  <\/li>\n                              <li class=\"item\">\n                  <a href=\"\/hillvert-soaker-hose-50-m-tap-piece-20-fastening-hooks-10090151\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.expondo.com\/asset\/product_photos\/10090151_photo_1\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" alt=\"\" class=\"image\" \/>\n                  <\/a>\n                  <strong class=\"title\">\n                    <a href=\"\/hillvert-soaker-hose-50-m-tap-piece-20-fastening-hooks-10090151\">\n                        Soaker Hose &#8211; 50 m + tap piece + 20 fastening hooks                    <\/a>\n                  <\/strong>\n\n                                      <span class=\"price\">\n                                          <\/span>\n                                  <\/li>\n                              <li class=\"item\">\n                  <a href=\"\/hillvert-2-in-1-leaf-blower-and-leaf-vacuum-750-w-petrol-10090189\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.expondo.com\/asset\/product_photos\/10090189_photo_1\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" alt=\"\" class=\"image\" \/>\n                  <\/a>\n                  <strong class=\"title\">\n                    <a href=\"\/hillvert-2-in-1-leaf-blower-and-leaf-vacuum-750-w-petrol-10090189\">\n                        2-in-1 Leaf Blower and Leaf Vacuum &#8211; 750 W &#8211; petrol                    <\/a>\n                  <\/strong>\n\n                                      <span class=\"price\">\n                                          <\/span>\n                                  <\/li>\n                              <li class=\"item\">\n                  <a href=\"\/hillvert-leaf-blower-petrol-2-130-w-backpack-unit-10090190\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.expondo.com\/asset\/product_photos\/10090190_photo_1\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" alt=\"\" class=\"image\" \/>\n                  <\/a>\n                  <strong class=\"title\">\n                    <a href=\"\/hillvert-leaf-blower-petrol-2-130-w-backpack-unit-10090190\">\n                        Leaf Blower &#8211; petrol &#8211; 2,130 W  backpack unit                    <\/a>\n                  <\/strong>\n\n                                      <span class=\"price\">\n                                          <\/span>\n                                  <\/li>\n                          <\/ul>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-lawn-care-hedge-trimming-and-planting-let%E2%80%99s-get-to-work\">Lawn care, hedge trimming, and planting: let\u2019s get to work!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, you don\u2019t need to splash out on expensive pro gear to keep your garden in shape. <strong>For most jobs, simple garden tools will do the trick<\/strong> \u2013 all of which are available at your local DIY store or garden centre.

In this article, we\u2019ll show you the <strong>most important garden tools<\/strong> you\u2019ll need. Get to know the basic tools that\u2019ll help with tidying up your garden and keeping your plants healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-manual-garden-tools\">Manual garden tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the core kit of manual garden tools you can\u2019t do without:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking to spruce up your balcony? Check out our next post to see what tools you need to <strong><mdspan datatext=\"el1724835623157\" class=\"mdspan-comment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/how-to-create-a-balcony-garden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create a balcony garden<\/a><\/mdspan><\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-loosen-the-soil-with-these-garden-tools\">Loosen the soil with these garden tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many handy tools to help you loosen the soil, some of which we\u2019ve already mentioned. <strong>Simple tools like trowels, spades, and hoes<\/strong> are perfect for smaller areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve got a larger garden, you might want to invest in a tiller. These machines, which look a bit like lawnmowers, come with either electric or petrol engines. They break up the soil and aerate it as they go. For bigger areas, you could use a harrow \u2013 it\u2019s an agricultural tool with tines that attach to a tractor to work the soil on large plots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why is soil loosening so important? To get the most from your plants and veg, you\u2019ve got to <strong>prepare the soil properly<\/strong>. Loosening breaks up clumps and allows air to reach the soil. A tiller\u2019s rotating blades do this job quickly, so there\u2019s no need for manual levelling afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-battery-operated-and-petrol-powered-garden-tools-\">Battery-operated and petrol-powered garden tools&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Manual tools are just the start! Now it's time to add some battery-operated and petrol-powered gear to your arsenal. These are pricier than, say, a rake, but they'll save you a great deal of time effort in the long run. And if you\u2019ve got a big garden, investing in one or more of these is a no-brainer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-garden-care-tools-for-your-flowers-and-plants\">Garden care tools for your flowers and plants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve got the basics sorted for year-round garden care, it\u2019s time to think about <strong>watering and cleaning tools<\/strong>. Everyone knows plants need water, but not everyone realises that you can automate watering down to the minute! Drip hoses are especially effective for this.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping things clean is just as important as watering. It has a huge impact on the <strong>look and feel of your green space<\/strong>. After a storm, you can quickly tidy up dry leaves and small branches using a leaf blower.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-lawn-care-hedge-trimming-and-planting-let%E2%80%99s-get-to-work\">Lawn care, hedge trimming, and planting: let\u2019s get to work!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, you don\u2019t need to splash out on expensive pro gear to keep your garden in shape. <strong>For most jobs, simple garden tools will do the trick<\/strong> \u2013 all of which are available at your local DIY store or garden centre. Of course, the size of your garden and variety of plants are important considerations. After all, the larger and more diverse your space, the more tools and work will be needed. But once you\u2019ve got a rake and a pair of pruning shears, you\u2019re well on your way to creating a green and pleasant oasis in your own back garden.<\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85298"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85298"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85298\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87453,"href":"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85298\/revisions\/87453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85298"},{"taxonomy":"promotion","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.expondo.co.uk\/inspirations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/promotion?post=85298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
