There are certain types of tools you will need to accomplish all your tasks.

A gardening fork is an ideal tool for loosening soil and cleaning the beds. Well rakes can be also a necessary for your gardening mission. For leveling soil and removing unwanted materials metal rakes can be helpful. I suggested metal because it is durable and it will not bend. On the other hand plastic fan style rakes will help in leaf cleanup.

It’s always a wise idea in investing in a good garden hose, it will last longer than the cheaper ones and its length depend on the size of your yard. To avoid getting kinks on it get a reel to store it on when not in use. A garden wand is good for watering seedlings or hanging basket as well as new plants, it helps to reach difficult places and it also supply stream of water uniformly which ca n prove to be softer for the younger delicate plants.

Another important gardening tool is pruning shears, it is very useful for trimming bushes and shrubs.

Shears for hedge trimming will help to keep your bushes evenly cut and it will display a neat appearance.

A cart or a wheelbarrow is a handy item specially if you are going to do some transporting work like transporting dirt, soil or cement.

Spreaders are useful in applying fertilizer to your lawn because it provides an even distribution to all the areas, there are two types of spreaders, they are broadcast spreaders and drop spreaders.
You also need lawn seed, fertilizer, topsoil, plant food, seeds and potting mix. If you have any problem with bugs or pests which will disturb and irritate you, then you can invest in pesticides.
