Garden clear-up tools

Clearing up is the most tedious job after lawn mowing, hedge cutting, or fall leaves etc... It's enough to make many gardeners postpone important jobs. But the garden shed tools on this link make clearing up easier.

So don't put off cutting the hedge or lawn. Clear up and gather - move the waste - pile into containers - shred larger pieces - then compost it - Now you can sit back, admire, and look forward to fresh leaf mold, mulch and garden compost.

The cutting edge of hedge design

Except for the Garden Groom Safety Hedge Trimmer the basic design of hedge trimmers has evolved slowly. The detail and quality of the traditional trimmer has however been honed to higher standards. A wider range of power trimmers available for different power sources petrol, electric, cordless and capable of different size cuts, and with long-reach arms etc... ... all make the hedge trimmers probably the most comfortable of power machines among shed tools. Find more about hedge trimmers and how to use them.

Interchangeable tool heads & handles save space and more...

You may have devoted a side wall to storing long handled shed tools like rakes, hoes, etc… But the Wolf multi-change garden tool system means you store just one or two long handles, to which you simply attach the tool head you need for a particular job. Wolf Garden provide a wide selection of specialised tool heads which pack into a small space. They also make nice gifts for your gardener friends.
