When it comes to maintaining your outdoor living space, you have two options: do it yourself, or pay someone to handle it for you. If you’re inclined to handle yard work, you’ll need several outdoor tools to complete the job quickly and efficiently. Here is a selection of outdoor landscaping equipment we recommend every homeowner should have:

• Gloves – Every household should have a good pair of gloves. These become essential when doing yardwork as they keep your hands safe and help protect you from thorns or worse.
• Hedge Trimmer – If your home has hedges, you’ll need a hedge trimmer. These are investments, but one that makes yard work take less time.
• Rake – Your rake will be handy when cleaning grass clippings, spreading material, weeding, or even tamping down the soil. The rake is one of the most versatile pieces of outdoor landscaping equipment.
• Leaf Blower – A leaf blower is perfect for cleaning up debris or clearing large areas of leaves and lawn clippings.
• Pressure Washer – A good pressure washer is an investment but will quickly become an invaluable tool. Your new pressure washer will easily clean your walkways, outdoor furniture, and more.
• Wheelbarrow – These are great for hauling piles of debris without sacrificing your back.
• Trimmer – Trimmers will make cleaning up your walkways and around trees as simple as possible. With this tool, you’ll be able to ensure your lawn looks immaculate.
• Shovel – There are several different types and styles of shovels. You’ll need one to help you plant flowers and one to clear away snow come winter.
