Container Garden Guide

A garage can easily get cluttered with all the various landscape maintenance equipment needed to keep a landscape healthy, clean, safe, attractive, and well manicured. But do you really need all those tools?

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.

Landscape maintenance equipment used for pruning is also very necessary and should be readily available. Shears are great for shaping a hedge and keeping it looking neat and tidy.

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.

A garden wagon or wheelbarrow is great for moving trees, bushes, sod, large landscape rocks or fertilizer from area to another. You can mix a small amount of cement in a wheelbarrow for those small repair jobs around the patio or yard. These are available in various sizes also. This tool has saved my back on more than one occasion.

These mowers can be used for the lawn, clearing brush, mulching, and even to pick up the leaves. This piece of landscape maintenance equipment will probably be your largest purchase. Do your homework, shop around and you may find one on sale near you.
