Collection: Garden Tools

Which garden tools does your yard need?

Match the tools to the jobs your yard actually creates. Grass means a lawn mower, plus a whipper snipper for the edges a mower can't reach. Hedges and shrubs call for hedge trimmers. Trees and firewood need a chainsaw. Autumn leaves suit a leaf blower. And grimy paths, decks or the car want a pressure washer. These outdoor power tools and lawn tools cover it all. Work through the jobs — mowing, edging, trimming, cutting, clearing, cleaning — and build the kit around what your yard demands, rather than buying yard tools you'll rarely start.

Petrol, battery or electric — which should you choose?

This is the big decision across nearly every garden tool, and each has a clear trade-off. Petrol gives the most power and total cordless freedom, suiting large yards and heavy work, but it's heavier, noisier, needs fuel mixing and servicing. Battery (cordless) is quiet, low-maintenance and cord-free, and modern batteries handle most home jobs — the sweet spot for average yards, especially if the battery is shared across a tool range. Corded electric is cheapest and lightest with unlimited run time, but the cord limits range and suits smaller yards. Big yard and heavy work lean petrol; average yard leans battery; small yard near power leans corded.

How do you match a tool to the size of the job?

Buying too big wastes money and effort; too small and it struggles. A small courtyard lawn needs only a compact mower, while a big block wants a wider cutting deck or a ride-on. A light chainsaw handles pruning, but felling trees needs a longer bar and more power. Match the tool's rated capacity — cutting width, bar length, pressure, power — to your typical job, not the biggest job you'll ever do once. For a one-off heavy task, hiring a bigger tool often beats buying one that's oversized for daily use.

What safety and maintenance do garden power tools need?

These are real tools that demand respect and upkeep. Wear eye and ear protection, sturdy shoes and gloves, and for a chainsaw, cut-resistant gear — read the manual before first use. Keep hands and feet clear of blades and chains, and never bypass guards. For maintenance, battery and electric tools mostly need blade cleaning and sharpening; petrol tools need fuel care, air-filter cleaning and periodic servicing to keep starting reliably. A tool that's cleaned after use and stored dry lasts years. Skipping the basics is how petrol tools end up refusing to start next season.

Common questions

Petrol or battery garden tools — which is better?
Petrol gives the most power and freedom for large yards and heavy work but needs fuel and servicing. Battery is quiet, low-maintenance and cord-free, suiting average yards. Corded electric is cheapest for small yards near power.

Are battery garden tools powerful enough?
For most home jobs, yes. Modern cordless tools handle average mowing, trimming and blowing well. Very large yards or heavy tree work still lean towards petrol for sustained power.

What safety gear do I need?
Eye and ear protection, sturdy shoes and gloves at minimum, plus cut-resistant gear for chainsaws. Read the manual, keep clear of blades and chains, and never remove guards.

How do I keep petrol tools running well?
Use fresh, correctly mixed fuel, clean the air filter, and service periodically. Store them dry and drain old fuel before long storage, or they often refuse to start next season.

Can I buy garden tools on Afterpay or Zip?
