Essential Tools for a Well Maintained Lawn

A couple of centuries ago, the only way to cut grass was with a scythe. And most people didn’t see the need to cut the grass back then. Lawn care has come a long way since then. There are more kinds of lawn and garden tools than you can count that are considered critical for maintaining a luxurious landscape.

If you have a lawn, you unquestionably need a lawnmower. It might be difficult to understand that your grass actually has to be hacked off in order to remain in good condition, but it’s true. A lawnmower will likely be your most expensive purchase when it comes to lawn care. However, if you maintain it well, it should last you for many years to come.

Unfortunately, a lawnmower alone won’t keep your yard trim. You’ll also need a lawn trimmer for hard to reach places. You might choose to use the traditional hand operated model that looks like a giant pair of scissors. The other option is an electric device that uses a plastic string to chop off grass and weeds. This string rotates at an extremely high speed. It’s not only strong enough to cut grass, it can also injure your body, so use caution.

Another piece of equipment you’ll need is a spreader. They are useful for the even distribution of granular products such as fertilizer, weed killer and grass seed. Some spreaders look like a tub on wheels. They have small holes that distribute the product as you push it along. The other kind is a hand-held spreader, typically plastic with a handle that turns to release the contents. These are appropriate for smaller areas that might need a little reseeding or spot fertilizing.

You’ll also need a rake in order to scoop up all the leaves on the ground in the fall. If left untouched, the leaves will almost certainly do harm to your lawn during the winter months. Once the snow melts in the spring, you’ll find that the grass has become smothered and parched by the presence of the leaves.

Even if you raked up the leaves in the fall, you’ll still find that your grass has become matted over the winter months. This thatching effect will prevent oxygen and other essential nutrients from working their way into the soil. Your rake will come in handy once again to straighten up your lawn.

Shovels are also important tools to have around. A narrow shovel is useful for removing small patches of weeds. For moving soil and digging plants, you’ll need a good sized square or rounded shovel. Actually, you’ll find this tool useful for a wide variety of backyard activities.

Buy the best equipment you can afford and maintain it well. Tending to your lawn will be considerably more pleasurable. And you’re certain to make all the neighbors jealous.
