Planting, pruning, soil preparation and other routine garden work rely on garden hand tools. In Australia, ArchiPro lists garden landscaping equipment and garden hand tool set items, including the Rubber Beading Roller Tool, within a wider range of high-quality garden tools for ongoing gardening needs.
Types of garden hand tools
There are a number of different types of garden hand tools in Australia and some of the most popular include the following:
Spades and shovels
An essential for any gardener in Australia is a garden shovel. It’s the most practical tool for digging, while spades can help you move material, like compost to provide nutrients to your plants.
Rakes
A garden rake helps you collect debris, including cut grass and fallen leaves. Special lawn rakes prepare the surface for grass seed, helping it to grow.
Shears
The most popular option in Australia for pruning shrubs is garden shears. Long-handled ones are ideal for lopping and pruning hard-to-reach places.
Secateurs
For more precise and detailed pruning, garden secateurs are the ultimate tools. They’re strong enough to handle tough branches without harming the plant.
Trowels and hand forks
For pots, bedding and raised beds, you’ll need to prepare the soil for plants. Trowels and hand forks are ideal for creating small holes and carefully digging out vegetables.
The advantages of high-quality garden hand tools
Gardening is a popular pastime in Australia. Having high-quality tools makes the experience much more pleasant. When you have a garden hand tool that’s fit for purpose, it completes the task with ease. Plus, the right shears and secateurs help plant health through much-needed pruning. Strong spades, rakes and shears are made of sturdy metals and wood that make light work of tasks. The end result is a more attractive and tidy garden for you to enjoy.
How to choose a garden hand tool that’s right for you
The tool you buy will depend on the job that needs to be done in your garden. For pruning, you’ll want to consider shears and secateurs. Shears, especially long-handled ones, are better for bigger jobs, such as tall shrubs and small trees. Secateurs are better for more detailed work on smaller plants. If you have a vegetable patch or flower beds, you’ll likely need a range of tools. A shovel will help you dig and turn over the soil. Whereas, spades are better for moving material around. With all these options, prioritising high-quality options will ensure your choices will do their jobs well and last.
