This list of essential lawn equipment will get you started, and you can always add to your equipment collection once you settle into your new home.
- Lawnmower: Even if you hire someone else to do the cutting, you will want to have this essential lawn tool on hand for emergency trim before the in-laws arrive or in the case of a Land scraper no-show.
- String/lawn trimmer: This device reaches those hard-to-reach places like your trunks of tree mowing trees. But it can double as an Edgar (with your driveway or landscaping bed) if you turn it towards you.
- Mud rake: Stronger than a leaf rake, an earthen rake will even out your garden or push around your mulch. You can also use it to groom a pea gravel path or drive.
- Spreader: Buy a small handheld or wheeled spreader to distribute hayseeds and fertilizer and boost your curb appeal.
Why you must buy essential lawn equipment to keep the lawn perfect
Regularly mowing the lawn continuously in the warmer months will keep your grass healthy and luxurious. Keeping the grass at the right height week and week gives all lawn areas an equal opportunity to soak up the sun and water. It evenly develops its small bed of lush green paradise. Regular mowing also helps in dealing with pests, and if you use a mower, you can also leave small pieces of mowing, which works as a natural fertilizer.
What are some amazing benefits of keeping the lawn clean and mower?
You probably don’t want to think about it, but some want to break down your house. A wooded yard is overgrown with weeds and tree limbs, a plethora of potential hiding places. Could you not give them this opportunity? Regularly doing all your bushy trimming on your property will mean fewer hiding spots for thieves to sneak up to your house or wait for you to leave for work.
While a tree or flowering shrub is a great addition to your yard, a large dead plant is just an eye to see and a hassle to remove. Regular pruning can prolong your trees’ lives by removing dead, vulnerable, insect-infected, or diseased organs before they begin to rot and affect the overall health of the plant. This will save you money in the long run because you have to keep changing aspects of your lawn every time something dies. After all, you are not taking care of it.
