Whether you own a landscaping business or you simply do the landscaping for your own home, chances are you know from experience how difficult it can be to get everything perfectly right. While skill is certainly important when it comes to landscaping, it is also important to have the right tools.
1. Round Point Shovel
One tool that every landscaper should have is the round point shovel. In fact, this tool is probably the most versatile of all landscaping tools. This tool is a shovel that possesses a beveled and rounded steel blade. The blade usually ends in a point. You can use the round point shovel to scoop, dig, and slice manure, dirt, and gravel.
2. Rakes
The rake is yet another tool that every landscaper should have in their arsenal. A rake is one of the long-handled tools that one can use to gather, dig, and spread. For the purposes of landscaping, you should buy a rake with metal teeth. You will use this rake to spread mulch, move dirt, and separate soil and rock. You should also get a rake with plastic teeth for gathering grass clippings and leaves on your lawn.
3. Hoe
Every landscaper needs a hoe for spreading and digging. The sharpness and shape of the blades of hoes vary. Some hoes are ideal for slicing through weed roots while others are ideal for breaking up the soil. The hoe you choose should be based on your needs.
4. Chainsaw
All landscapers should have an electric or gas saw. Saws possess sharp teeth, which are revolved on a chain. Landscapers needs chainsaws for cutting trees, wood, big branches and tree limbs that have fallen. However, as you can probably imagine, it takes quite a bit of training and practice to use a chainsaw effectively and safely. A chainsaw with a 16-inch blade should be more than enough for your needs.
