The 12 Best Gardening Tools Perfect for

Summer 2024

Tested and Reviewed

Whether you're an experienced horticulturist or a beginner gardener, the right gardening tools make tending to your garden more enjoyable. 

We've researched and tested dozens of gardening tools in our lab and our own backyard gardens, evaluating effectiveness, ease of use, and overall value. While all gardening tools serve a different purpose, we found that the material and comfort of the tool were most important in our purchasing decision.

Everything on this list, from trowels to weeding tools, is made from aluminum, steel, or high-quality plastic to withstand direct sunlight and other weather conditions. They should also be able to withstand drops and impact. Aluminum and steel will resist rust over time and feel heavier and higher quality in your hands, while plastic is more lightweight and easy to maneuver, but may be less weather-resistant.

Look for tools with padded handles, ergonomic grips, shock absorption technology, or other features that make them comfortable in your hands for long periods. We love the options on this list, not only for their performance but also because they feel comfortable and fatigue-free while gardening. It's important to find tools that combine effective performance, high-quality materials, and comfortability.
