Many people look forward to spring as a time to break out the gardening tools and get started on making their dream backyard oasis. To tackle landscaping projects, you’ll need the right tools.  Below, Wolfe Ace Hardware in Lincoln, NE, shares five crucial tools to gather before beginning your backyard upgrade.

Prep Your Yard for Spring With These 5 Gardening Tools

1. Rakes

Many people start this season by raking their yard. This will help remove dead leaves, grass thatch, and sticks  that have built up over the winter. You should have a leaf rake and a bow rake on hand for this task.

2. Shovels

You’ll need several types of shovels to use throughout your yard. A trench shovel will help you dig holes to install fences or box in raised garden beds. Flat shovels are great for moving dirt or rocks, and you’ll also need small trowels to plant all the beautiful herbs and flowers that will brighten up the outside of your home.

One of the best ways to improve your lawn quality is to aerate the soil. An aerator cuts out little pellets of soil and moves them to the surface, allowing the dirt to breathe and fertilizer to reach further into the ground. 

4. A Tiller

If you’re planning on planting a garden, it may be time to invest in or rent a tiller. These gardening tools help break up the dirt in areas where you’ll be planting seeds. Adjust the depth of the tiller to the setting necessary for your seed types, and you’ll soon have a garden full of lush plants to enjoy.

5. Pruning Shears

During your cleanup, you may notice that your shrubs could use some maintenance. Grab a pair of pruning shears to tackle this project. These gardening tools come in handy during every season, so it’s a good idea to own a pair.
