And of course, the approach of fall will signal the need to purchase a rake. A wheelbarrow is also an important addition. Trees and bushes will need to be pruned, and hedges will need trimming. You ll need a hand pruner for keeping bushes neat and healthy, and a lopper for cutting bigger branches. If you have hedges, you ll need a hedge shear for keeping them trimmed.
Trees usually require pruning at some point, often quite high.
You can either purchase a tree pruner, climb up on a ladder with a saw, or call the professionals when these jobs need to be done. If money is short, these items can be purchased inexpensively but an investment in quality tools will pay off in the long run and make the work easier. Most homeowners will want to add new plants to dress up the home s appearance. For basic gardening, the list of necessary tools is short. You ll want a shovel for digging large holes and cultivating existing landscape beds, a hand trowel to dig holes for small plants, and a hand cultivator for loosening the soil in small areas.
