Landscaping is a great way to improve the appearance of your yard, and landscape tools are essential for any landscaping project. There are many tools out there, some made for one specific job. The best thing you can do is to purchase a basic group of tools that you can multi-task with, and add specialized tools one at a time as you need them. The basic group of tools is listed below.

The first tool group is the shovel.

Group 2 is the rake

Group 3 is the lopper, shear or pruner.

The fourth tool group is the wheel barrel or garden cart.

The shovel is the first group of tools. It is a piece of metal that has been flattened and attached to a handle. These allow you to carry and move materials around. There are three main types of shovels. The flat shovel has a wide surface area, and is a relatively flat piece of metal. It is good for moving scoops from a rock or gravel pile. The second one is the rounded or pointed tip shovel. This is good for slicing and digging in the soil. It is the classic shovel that most people think of. The last is the narrow shovel. It works well for digging smaller holes and in tight spaces.
