The Best Garden Power Tools for Home Use

Let’s face it, no one likes doing outdoor chores. No matter how much you love and take pride in your yard, maintaining your garden is not an easy task. But with the right garden power tools, you can keep the yard in tip-top shape without having to spend too much time and energy! So the next time you're out in your garden, make sure you have these useful garden power tools and equipment to make yard maintenance a whole lot easier!

LAWN MOWER

A lawn mower is one of the most important garden power tools to add to your arsenal. Not only because it saves you a lot of time, but lawn mowers also offer improved cutting quality! We have a huge range of lawn mowers to suit any yard size and turf type!

• Rotary mowers are the most versatile type of lawn mowers. They can cut through most types of grass and cut perfectly on longer and rougher grass.
• Cylinder or reel mowers are best for flat lawns. They have somewhere between five and twelve exposed blades at the front of the mower that rotate on a horizontal axis. The more blades there are the better the cut. This cutting action works best on a low or short cut and will not be able to cut long grass. This will mean more frequent mowing especially during the growing season!
• Self-propelled lawn mowers allow users to guide it instead of needing to push it, making lawn mowing much easier and quicker. They also provide consistent lawn cut as they are able to maintain a constant speed.
• Zero-turn mowers offer excellent all-round cutting performance. They can pivot, make sharp turns, and cut tightly against edges smoothly. Perfect for those with larger gardens!
