Pruning & Cutting Tools

Whether you need scissors for trimming cut flowers or a tool for shaping topiary and hedges, pruning and cutting tools come in all shapes and sizes. Garden shears and tree loppers are an essential for any gardener who likes to keep their box hedges and bushes looking immaculate. Perhaps the most versatile garden hand tool of them all, pruners can be used to cut back roses, harvest vegetable crop, trim climbing plants, and everything in between.

Keep your pruning and cutting tools in top condition by storing them in a dry place and cleaning them regularly. To clean pruning tools, use a brush to remove any loose dirt and residue. Then, clean with soapy lukewarm water and a sponge. Ensure all soap suds are rinsed away and dry thoroughly before returning your tools to storage. Larger shears and loppers will also require sharpening from time to time. This can be done by a professional for a reasonable price and will ensure that your cutting tools last longer and work their best.
