We present a list containing thirty tools that professional landscapers use in their day to day work.
Given the wide variety of gardening tools that are available, we selected the best 30. These were chosen based upon their popularity in the industry and our personal opinion.
- Secateurs
These tools are extremely popular among professional gardeners.
You can use the serrated blades on some examples to help you cut down woody perennials, such as lavender, after they have died. However, secateurs' blades can become blunt and cause a general weakening.

- Hoe
This tool is for weeding between rows. However you might need to use the fork to loosen soil.

- Spade to the rescue
The trenching spade is a sharp tool that digs up tree stumps. It has a flat side and a sharp edge on the opposite. The flat side allows you to scoop out the soil, while the sharp edge digs into the roots.
