Regardless of your property’s size, there are a few essential landscaping tools you should have in your shed. You may already have a few of them, like a garden hose, a rake, a shovel, and pruning shears. But if you’ve been borrowing certain items frequently, it might be time to upgrade from rental equipment. You probably don’t need a commercial riding mower, but below are three pieces of landscaping equipment every homeowner should consider purchasing.

3 Landscape Rental Equipment Items to Consider Purchasing

1. Good-Quality Lawn Mower

A lawn mower is possibly the most-used tool in the shed. While you can get away with renting an aerator and a seed spreader each year when it is time to refresh the lawn, a lawn mower gets used every week and sometimes more in the spring and summer months. Small yards only need the push variety, but if you have a large yard and the storage space, consider a riding mower. 

2. Trimmer or Brush Cutter

A lawn mower can’t reach every location, like corners and edging along a flowerbed or driveway. For these hard-to-reach and often delicate spots, you will need a trimmer or a brush cutter. Also known as a weed whacker, these handy tools are how the pros keep landscapes looking pristine.

3. Blower

If you’re sick of raking leaves, a blower is an efficient way to get them into manageable piles and keep your lawn and driveway clean. They can even double as a snow clearer. Before buying one, check your neighborhood covenants to be sure there aren’t any noise restrictions.
