Spruce Up Your Yard This Spring with These Essential Landscape Tools

The warmer weather means it’s time to get outside and do some spring cleanup in the yard. Winter cold can take its toll on trees and shrubs. Once you uncover them, you’ll want to prune dead branches, do some shaping, prune perennials, cut back grass, and clear away leaves and any debris around flower beds.

In considering landscaping projects, think about what kinds of plants and flowers you want to put in the garden. Also, take stock of your current lawn and gardening tools. Do you need a new lawnmower? Do you have the right kind of shovel and rake? Having the proper lawn and landscape tools on hand can make much of your spring-cleaning yardwork easier. Any of the following tools will help you get the job done.
