Let's discuss my list of basic yard and garden tools. Many long term home owners that care for their lawn have all of these lawn tools and many more. That is because it is a basic list of lawn tools and compiled for the those not having had the pleasure of caring for their own lawn before. The list provides a look at the basic tool set required for regular lawn maintenance. It will also serve as a warning for those that might find the manual labor and costs are to high to be their own lawn care specialist.

I understand that there is going to be some that prefer not to become lawn care doctor because of the high priced equipment and time consuming labor I recognize the need for lawn care professionals. Noting the lack of desire for do it yourself lawn maintenance by some, suggests the need for lawn care companies. But, I will not list or name any professional lawn care companies to keep from sounding biased.

I am not going to list prices for any of the yard and garden tools either. With the ever changing prices associated with these tools and the many possibilities of different prices from one store to the next, it is nearly impossible to maintain an accurate pricing structure. Noting those difficulties, I suggest completing your own fact-finding research about the tools.

The list of basic yard and garden tools includes shovels, spades, gloves, hedge trimmers, rakes, hoes, trowels, pruners and heavy duty extension cords. some of the larger items necessary for basic lawn care also include lawn mowers, edgers, blowers and weedeaters.

Although this list is not comprehensive, beginners will find it plenty to complete any normal size project and more importantly all of the basic lawn care and gardening needs. Without question, those having cared for their own lawn for any length of time will find this list meek, but remember this is more about the first time home owner preparing for the initial phase of lawn maintenance.

/Beginners should truly consider the benefits of reviewing and shopping for these tools themselves. You will gain the knowledge of tool pricing as well as learning more details about each tool. That knowledge can save you money and time when purchasing the tools and when using them. Together, the information gained can be applied and enjoyed while using all of your new yard and garden tools.
