If you are thinking of taking on the big task of landscaping your garden, you will need the appropriate tools before you can begin. It is just not possible to design and rearrange your whole garden without using any tools whatsoever, so just which tools do you need?

The Various Landscaping Tools Which You Will Need

If you do have a garden you may already have various landscaping tools. It simply would not be possible to keep up with the garden if you didn't have the right tools available, so before you begin landscaping you really do need to ensure that you have the right tools that you will need.

All in all you will need:

• Shears
• A shovel and spade
• A rake
• A wheelbarrow

All of the above are essential as they all do different jobs. Shears help to cut down any overgrown brush that you might have within the garden and they also help to trim any hedges that you may have. A wheelbarrow will be needed if you are to move all of the rubbish from one area to another as there should be quite a lot of rubbish there if you have not previously done anything to the garden.

The rake will be needed to get rid of any leaves lying around on the lawn. You should notice that as soon as you move the leaves it will make quite a big difference to how the garden looks. Then you will need shovels and spades. A spade is generally better for planting and removing weeds from any flower beds or on the lawn. They have short handles which makes them easy to manage. Shovels on the other hand have long handles and they can be used to even up the lawn. If you have bumps all around the garden, the shovel can be used to remove them and then new grass can be laid in its place.

Another tool you will need includes a hose which will help to water plants and perhaps fill up a pond if you are placing one within the garden. Water features do make great additions and they are really nice to look at too.

Overall you will need various tools in order to landscape the garden properly and the above mentioned are some of the most important ones. It is a good idea to wear gardening gloves to protect your hands whilst you are landscaping otherwise they tend to get sore.
