When spring arrives, you can get outside and enjoy the fresh air. It’s also time to knock the winter dust off of your power tools and start tending your lawn again. Below are a few must-have tools for successfully caring for your lawn

What Lawn Tools You’ll Need for Spring

1. Chain Saw

A chain saw is an essential power tool for maintaining and cleaning up after trees. There are both gas-powered and electric chain saws, the former offering more power and the latter less weight and noise. The key is to use a saw that is strong enough to cut the branches, but still light enough to handle safely.

2. Blower

Gas and electric blowers are excellent power tools for clearing dry debris, like leaves, cut grass, and minor trimmings. Higher-end models can also have a vacuum or mulcher attachment. You might think of a blower as more of an autumn tool, but they are also perfect for spring cleaning your gutters.

3. Pressure Washer

No springtime collection is complete without a pressure washer. Whether you need to clean grime off of your siding and walkways or wash the winter salt off of your vehicle, few power tools work as effectively as a pressure washer. 

4. Trimmers

With springtime comes rapid plant growth. Having a power trimmer makes keeping a clean lawn much more manageable. String trimmers work wonders on cleaning up rogue grass and weeds around fences and lawn decorations, while reciprocating hedge trimmers make managing bushes and decorative hedges a breeze.

5. Tiller

A tiller helps complete your springtime planting. Whether it’s a flowerbed or a vegetable garden, a power tiller smoothes the process considerably. Front-tine versions work best in soft soil, and rear-tine are ideal for hard ground. There are also smaller cultivators for tilling soil in small spaces.
