Watering Essentials
No Kink Metal Water Hose
A dependable everyday hose that is easier to move through planting beds without constant twisting and kinking.
Heavy Duty Soaker Hose
Useful for slowly watering foundation beds, perennial gardens, and rows of new plants while keeping water near the root zone.
Easy to Use Tree Watering Bags
A simple way to give newly planted trees the slow, deep watering they need during establishment.
Dramm One Touch Rain Wand
Gentler than a standard hose nozzle and especially useful for watering new perennials, shrubs, containers, and delicate plants.
Smart WiFi Sprinkler Timer by Govee
Connects directly to an outdoor faucet and helps keep new landscapes consistently watered when life gets busy.
Planting + Weeding
Flat Edging and Digging Spade
A starter version of the tool La Madrina Crews reach for first, but without the price tag. Prioritize this addition to your tool shed.
Black Iron Hori Hori Garden Knife
One of the most useful garden tools to own. Dig planting holes, remove weeds, cut roots, divide perennials, and open bags with one tool.
Touchscreen Friendly Garden Gloves
Look for lightweight, flexible gloves rather than bulky work gloves. They make weeding and handling small plants much easier.
Adorable Garden Sleeves
The sweetest protection from those pesky micro scrapes and sun, these pair well with a tank top and dirt.
Pruning + Cleanup
Ergonomic Bypass Pruners - Professional Titanium
The basic pruning tool every homeowner should own for deadheading, cutting back perennials, and pruning smaller live branches.
8" Pro Garden Snips
Handy for deadheading flowers, herbs, fine stems, and smaller cleanup jobs where full-size pruners are unnecessary.
Garden Tool & Knife Sharpener
A small tool that keeps pruners, shears, and garden knives cutting cleanly instead of crushing plant stems. Keep one in you garage and one in your kitchen!
La Madrina Tip on Gardening Tools We Recommend
You do not need a garage full of equipment to maintain a well-designed landscape.
Start with:
a watering wand
a good hose
bypass pruners
a hori hori or weeding tool
gloves
a sharp shovel
a small rake
Those few tools will handle most routine landscape care. Ask your landscape designer about more gardening tools we recommend!
