If you want to keep your lawn in excellent shape at all times, then you should invest on certain tools that could enhance the beauty of your garden. The following are among the different tools that you need to store in your shed for lawn care and maintenance work.
 
1. String Trimmer
 
Some weeds and grass tend to grow in tight corners and areas that are hard to trim using a regular lawnmower. With this in mind, you should consider buying a string trimmer for mowing grass found on fences, walls and edges of your yard. For a cheaper option, you may go for electric string trimmer, which are either cordless or corded. These models also barely make any noise when operated. However, gas-powered once provide superior power, and there is no need to charge the battery or plug the cord when using this tool.
 
2. Trowel
 
Trowels are used in planting, so be sure to invest on a good one for cultivating your garden. Look for steel-made trowels that can last for a long time, as compared to cast aluminum ones. It is also better to buy a trowel with the blade and handle built in one piece since it is more durable.
 
3. Garden Rake
 
This tool allows you to press sown seeds deep into the soil, and you can use it in removing debris such as dead grass or clippings from your yard. Depending on your needs, you can find a bow-head or flat-head rake. The latter is best for leveling the soil while the other one is preferred by some people because of the ease in maneuvering the tool.
 
4. Hand Pruner
 
You can use this tool when cutting back dead, weak or crossing branches on your shrubs and trees. For your convenience, buy a pruner that has smooth and sharp blades and ergonomic handles for an easy and comfortable grip.
  
5. Lawnmower
 
You don't want to keep your grass stemmy since this gives your yard a rough and messy appeal. So, a lawnmower is a must-have in your tool shed, which may either have cylinder blades or one that collects grass clippings while you use it. For a more eco-friendly option, the push-propelled one is your best bet.
 
6. Transplanting Spade
 
When your plants get big enough to be transplanted, then this tool will surely come in handy. You can use a transplanting spade to prevent incurring any damages on nearby plants. It also lets you dig deep holes to fit the plant roots in.
 
7. Edging Shears
 
To give your lawn a neat look on its edges, you will need edging shears to do this job right. Simply push soil far from the edge of the grass and use this tool as you would with scissors. The cutting blade does the work as you do the trimming.
 
8. Garden Fork
 
When your crops are ready to be harvested, or you need to lift the roots of a mature perennial out, then a garden fork is what you need. Look for a garden fork with blades made of stainless steel, as this material is known for its optimum durability.
 
9. Soaker Hose
 
For irrigating your lawn, you will need a soaker hose since sprinklers do not do much except to water your yard. The hose have a perforated body that sprays water into the soil and provides the right amount of moisture into the root zone.
 
10. Spring-Tined Rake
 
This type of rake is wire-tined, which is effective in removing dead grass that collect at the base of plants. You can use this tool in two directions to scratch the soil's surface or remove leaves and debris from your yard.
 
Be sure you have these tools in your shed for a more efficient and convenient experience when working on your lawn.
