Small to medium UK lawns
A simple, reliable electric mower that suits typical small to medium UK gardens without taking up much storage space.
Regular hedge trims on typical UK gardens
A well balanced cordless hedge trimmer that feels manageable for regular trims instead of being dragged out once a year.
Patios, decking and very grubby paths
A strong mid range washer that has enough power for most patios and decking without jumping to the very top end of the range.
Medium to large gardens that need regular watering
Makes it far easier to water borders and lawns properly because you are not fighting stiff hose loops each time.
Keeping garden tools, cushions and small kit out of the weather
A popular low maintenance storage box that hides tools and cushions while coping with UK weather reasonably well.
Most homes do well with a decent mower, a simple grass or edge trimmer, a hose setup that reaches everything and a few basic hand tools. Extras like a pressure washer or leaf blower are nice if you will actually use them.
Start with the jobs you already do or know you want to do. Pick tools that make those specific tasks easier instead of buying complete sets because they look good value on paper.
