Garden tool advice for people who want to keep gardening without wrecking their back. We recommend proper long-handled tools, show you what works, and can source quality equipment. Work smarter, not harder.
Gardening shouldn't leave you in pain. The right tools make everything easier, especially as you get older or if you have mobility issues. But garden centres are full of gimmicky nonsense that doesn't actually help.
We cut through the marketing and recommend tools that genuinely make a difference. Long-handled weeders that save kneeling, ergonomic spades that reduce strain, telescopic pruners that reach without ladders. We'll show you what works for your specific garden and situation.
Common Recommendations
| Tool Type | Benefit | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Long-handled weeder | No kneeling required | Paths, borders, between plants |
| Telescopic pruner | Reach high without ladders | Trees, tall shrubs, hedges |
| Ergonomic spade | Reduced back strain | Digging, planting |
| Extended rake | Standing upright | Lawn care, leaf clearing |
Serving Exeter and Devon. We'll help you find the right tools so gardening stays enjoyable instead of becoming painful.

What to Expect
Step 1: Understand your needs - We ask about your garden, what tasks you struggle with, any physical limitations, and your budget. Different tools suit different people - we find what works for you.
Step 2: Recommendations - We suggest specific tools based on your situation. We'll explain why certain options work better than others, and what to look for when buying. No generic advice - this is tailored to you.
Step 3: Sourcing and demonstration - We can point you to local suppliers, order online on your behalf, or if you want, fetch tools and demonstrate proper use in your garden. Your choice.
🔧 DIY Tips
Length isn't everything - balance and weight matter more than you'd think. Try before buying if possible. Telescopic tools are great but check the locking mechanism is solid. Cheap extendable tools often wobble or slip at the worst moment. For long-handled weeders, angled heads work better than straight ones. Don't buy a full set - start with tools for your most hated tasks and expand from there.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
This isn't about selling you expensive kit. Sometimes a £15 tool from a local shop is perfect. Other times, spending £40 on quality makes sense because you'll use it for years. We give honest advice based on what you actually need, not what's on special offer.
