If you have a lawn that has several acres, a walking mower and hand-held edger simply won’t be enough to get the job done. In this case, you will have to bring out the big equipment to ensure your property looks its best. Here are some of the equipment you should consider:
Tillers
A tiller is a wonderful tool for those who like to plant gardens or flower beds on their property. These tools break up the soil, allowing air and water to get into the soil. This helps to promote new plant growth and breaks up unwanted plants, such as weeds. For the most effective work, consider a gas-powered tiller, as these make it easy to prepare a large area for planting.
Shovels and Rakes
Rakes and shovels are also important when you have a large area of land. Shovels are used for a many different maintenance tasks including tree planting, soil preparation, and digging trenches for drainage. Shovels are also tools with a lot of flexibility, as they can be used for different tasks. Rakes help you collect leaves and clippings, and then helps you to bag them or take them to your compost area.
Fertilizer Spreaders
Fertilizer equipment, such as spreaders, are important yard tools to keep your property looking its best. It helps to make a huge difference when the soil quality is poor. There are spreaders that are hand operated that scatter the fertilizer across the land. There are also drop spreaders that will allow the fertilizer to drop onto the land as the spreader is moved across the land.
Aerators
Finally, using an aerator will break through the thatch of the earth, which will allow air and water to get down into the roots. This helps to promote root health and helps the lawn resist pests and disease.
