How to choose garden tools and machinery
Power source. Cordless tools run on batteries and are easy to move around a plot, while mains-powered tools suit small gardens with a socket close by and do not need charging. If you plan to buy several machines, choose one brand's battery system, because one battery and charger can then power a trimmer, a hedge cutter and a blower.
Garden size and task. A lawn mower suits regular cutting of open grass, a robotic lawn mower suits a lawn that is cut often and has fairly simple edges, and a grass trimmer finishes borders, fences and corners. Measure your lawn before you buy, since each mower and robot is built for a maximum area.
Cleaning needs. For patios, paths, cars and garden furniture, a pressure washer does the job faster than a hose and brush. Higher pressure removes ingrained dirt, but it can damage soft wood and old mortar, so look for a model with adjustable spray settings. Sweepers and other cleaning equipment are better suited to loose debris on hard surfaces.
Hand tools and blade quality. For pruners and shears, check the type of cut: bypass blades cut live stems cleanly, while anvil blades crush through dry, dead wood. Comfortable handles, a replaceable blade and available spare parts will make a tool last for many seasons.

Garden tools and machinery FAQ
Is a cordless or a mains-powered lawn mower better?
A cordless mower is better if your garden has no nearby socket or you dislike handling a cable. A mains mower suits small lawns and runs as long as needed without charging. For a large lawn, check the battery's rated area per charge or consider a spare battery.
What does a robotic lawn mower need to work properly?
A robotic lawn mower needs a boundary around the lawn, a charging station on level ground and a power socket nearby. Most models cut little and often, so the grass stays short without bagging clippings. Narrow passages, steep slopes and obstacles can cause problems, so check the manufacturer's limits before buying.
Can a pressure washer damage surfaces?
Yes, a pressure washer can damage soft wood, loose paving joints, paintwork and old render if the pressure is too high or the nozzle is held too close. Start with a wider spray and a greater distance, then move closer if needed. Models with adjustable pressure or different nozzles give you more control.
What is the difference between a grass trimmer and a brush cutter?
A grass trimmer uses a nylon line to cut lawn edges and light weeds, while a brush cutter has a metal blade for thicker weeds, brambles and woody growth. Trimmers are lighter and easier to handle on lawns. For rough, overgrown ground, a brush cutter is the better tool.
