Good basic tools to have in the garden
It is important to have the right tools when pruning. Both for the tree's sake and your own. Choose tools that fit well in your hand and that you feel comfortable using. Weight is also crucial to how much fun gardening is. Nowadays, many tools are made of lightweight materials.
Lawnmower
A hand mower can be used on a small lawn, but on larger areas it works best with a motor-driven mower.
Garden spade
It may be a good idea to have two shovels, one with a pointed tip for digging and one with a straight blade for shoveling away soil and other things.
Rake

Pruning shears
A sharp and good pair of pruning shears that fit well in your hand is needed when it's time to prune and thin out. For larger branches, loppers and a pruning saw are recommended.
Hedge shears
If you have a hedge, it is important to have a good hedge trimmer. Consider investing in an electric one if you have a lot to cut.
