Garden power tools for lawns, hedges and garden beds
Choose garden power tools by the size of the yard and the job. For a small lawn, an electric or battery mower is light, quiet and easy to start, while larger blocks suit a petrol mower that keeps going without a charge. A hedge trimmer on a pole reaches the top of tall hedges without a ladder, and a handheld whipper snipper tidies fence lines and paths the mower misses.
When leaves pile up, a garden blower clears paths and driveways in minutes. For new garden beds or fence posts, a tiller breaks up compacted soil and a post hole digger saves hours of digging by spade.
Garden power tools by type
Not sure where to start? For a tidy lawn, begin with one of our lawn mowers; an electric lawn mower suits most suburban backyards. Add blowers and leaf vacuums to clear clippings and leaves afterwards. For screening plants, hedge trimmers and pole pruners shape the sides and top of a hedge.
For crisp edges, whipper snippers and edgers give clean lines along paths and garden beds; lawn edging cutters finish the job. Planning a bigger project? Garden tillers and post hole diggers handle new beds, fencing and planting holes.
Battery, electric or petrol garden tools?
Battery garden tools are quiet, start at the press of a button and suit small to medium yards. Corded electric tools are light and never run flat, but the lead limits how far you can go. Petrol tools have the most power and run time for large blocks, rough ground and heavy digging, but need fuel, oil and more upkeep.

Garden power tools FAQ
What garden power tools do I need first?
A lawn mower and a whipper snipper cover most yards. A blower is a handy third tool for clean-up.
Is a battery or petrol mower better?
Battery mowers suit small to medium lawns and need less upkeep. Petrol mowers suit large blocks and long grass.
How do I trim a tall hedge safely?
Use a hedge trimmer on a pole so you can stay on the ground instead of working from a ladder.
Can one battery run several garden tools?
If the tools share the same battery platform and voltage, yes. Check the product page before you buy.
