We’ve got you covered with manual equipment that lets you connect with your garden to power tools that make maintenance a breeze. This exhaustive guide will walk you through some of the most indispensable lawn care tools and equipment you need to keep your synthetic turf looking pristine and lush.
Before we delve into the lawn tools you need handy, let’s talk about safety. When tending to your synthetic grass or even natural turf, it’s crucial to ensure you’re well-protected.
While working on your lawn, the right gear can keep you safe from potential hazards. We always recommend equipping your shed with these essentials:
When it comes to lawn care supplies, some tools are an absolute necessity – whether for natural or synthetic grass. Stock up on these must-haves to get your backyard looking its very best all year round.
Weed Removal Tool
Weeds can be persistent pests, even in artificial lawns. A manual weeding tool, or a hand weeder, can help you eliminate them (and small unwanted plants) easily. This tool is multi-purpose and can also be used for seeding preparation and testing soil compaction. A weeding brush is another good alternative.
A hand pruner is a versatile tool for more than just lawn care. Use it to trim shrubs, manage weeds, or even tend to your garden plants.
While seeds might not be necessary for an artificial lawn, a spreader can still be handy for dispersing soil amendments or fertilisers. Choose a spreader that suits your yard’s size and the volume of material you need to distribute.
A cultivator is a valuable tool to help prepare the soil for planting or break up minor soil compaction. It can also be useful for removing stubborn weeds. A garden fork works well for this, too.
A sturdy leaf rake is a must-have for any lawn care routine. It’s perfect for distributing grass clippings, removing thatch, or simply tidying up your yard.
Even though artificial lawns don’t need watering like natural grass, an irrigation system can still be beneficial for cleaning and cooling your turf.
Here’s what you’ll need:
A standard variety garden hose is a simple yet essential tool. It’s useful for applying nutrients to grass roots, rinsing off debris, and watering your garden plants.
Sprinkler systems and attachments provide targeted watering, which is useful for cleaning your artificial turf. They are a particularly good option if your lawn is larger.
An in-ground irrigation system is a more sophisticated option. It allows for uniform and frequent light watering on a set schedule and can be adjusted to conserve water too.
A simple timer can help manage your watering schedule, making your lawn care routine easier and more efficient. When you have synthetic turf installed, this is less of a priority, as it doesn’t need consistent watering.
When it comes to lawn care supplies, power tools can make your life much easier – trust us. Here are some to consider popping up in your shed.
While you might not need to mow your artificial lawn, a self-propelled mower is still worth considering if you have natural grass areas in your yard. We recommend battery-operated or electric mowers over fuel-powered ones for their environmental benefits.
Line trimmers are an excellent choice for managing hard-to-cut areas and managing landscape needs. They are easier to use than hand trimmers and help keep your new lawn edges neat, especially when dealing with narrow garden beds. A rotary turf edger is another option here, particularly when paired with rotating flexible nylon line.
A battery-operated blower can help manage natural debris and distribute grass clippings. It’s a great tool to simplify your lawn maintenance routine.
Taking care of your lawn care tools is just as important as your lawn. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your tools and ensure they’re always ready to use.
After each use, clean your tools to remove any dirt or debris. This will prevent rust and keep your tools in good working order.
Store your tools in a dry, sheltered place to protect them from the elements. A garden shed or garage is ideal.
Regularly check your tools for any signs of damage or wear. If you spot any issues, repair or replace the tool as necessary.
While it’s great to take care of your lawn yourself, sometimes it’s best to call in a professional. For jobs that require specialised tools or skills, such as installing an irrigation system or applying certain treatments, a professional can ensure the job is done correctly and safely.
And if you’ve had enough of your natural turf, maybe it’s time to opt for synthetic grass to remove the hassle. See how our services can help you revolutionise your outdoor area now.
Having the right lawn care supplies can make maintaining your artificial lawn a joy rather than a chore. Investing in quality tools and taking good care of them allows you to enjoy a beautiful, well-maintained lawn for years.
Remember, any investment you make now will always be useful in the long-run, both for keeping up with your yard maintenance or established lawns, and staying safe while you do it!
