Spring is here, and if you’re like other gardeners you probably can’t wait to start working out among your plants. With reliable, high-quality tools from Richardson Saw & Lawnmower to help make gardening tasks easier, you can spend more time enjoying the garden and less time worrying about whether or not the tiller is going to start or if the cutting blades on your pruners are sharp.

Working Soil

For smaller gardens, or for working in around plants, mini tillers are a great choice. The Honda FG110 Tiller and Echo’s TC-210 Tiller Stihl-mm-55-yard-boss-power-equipment Fort Wortheach have a 9-inch tilling width that is perfect for tight spots in the garden. If you want a more versatile tool, the Stihl MM 55 Yard Boss is equipped to use 8 different attachments, including two cultivators. A pick-tines cultivator comes standard with the MM 55. This attachments works well for weeding and loosening soil without disturbing nearby plants. The optional bolo-tines attachment is designed for working deeper into the soil.

For working the soil in larger gardens, we carry mid-tine and rear-tine Honda tillers. The mid-tine tillers balance power with versatility, and can quickly work soil while still being small enough to make them easy to maneuver and store. The Honda F220 Tiller is adjustable for a 12-inch or 21-inch tilling width, and the FC600 Tiller has a 26-inch tilling width. The FRC800 Rear-Tine Tiller is narrower, with a 20-inch tilling width, but has a more powerful engine and is self-propelled to make it easier to use for longer periods of time.

Trimming Plants

You’ll find both electric and gasoline-powered trimmers from reliable brands like Echo, RedMax, Shindaiwa and Stihl. We have double-sided hedge trimmers for standard trimming jobs, one-sided hedge trimmers for more precise cutting and sculpting, and extended-reach trimmers for safely cutting taller hedges without using a ladder.

We also stock Corona Clippers for times when you need smaller, hand-powered trimming tools. Cornoa’s reliable heavy-duty cutting tools are a staple in the gardening hobby and landscape industry, and for good reason – they are both affordable and high-quality. With a wide range of pruners, loppers, shears and snips, you’re sure to find a Corona tool to fit each of the cutting and trimming tasks in your garden.

Weed Control

For weeding by hand, Corona makes several trowels, hand cultivators, and weeding tools. You can pick out exactly the type of tool you want, and choose from ComfortGEL or eGrip handles for an ergonomic grip that will minimize hand fatigue.

For times when you want to apply liquid herbicides to get rid of particularly tough weeds, we carry Stihl sprayers designed for easy and accurate application. The light-weight hand-held sprayers hold 0.4, 2.0 or 3.0 gallons, depending on the model.
