Make Light Work of Garden Tasks This Spring

As the new gardening season approaches, enthusiasts are looking to spruce up their garden for Spring. With over 100 years' experience, Wilkinson Sword understands exactly what gardeners need to prepare their outdoor spaces so that they flourish all year round. Pruning, trimming hedges, and digging are all important tasks, and with Wilkinson Sword’s high-quality Ultralight garden tools, it’s easy to take care of all the essential gardening tasks and achieve a beautiful and well-maintained outdoor space. 

The Ultralight range has been specially designed for gardeners who want top-tier performance without the heavy lifting, the range is up to 50% lighter compared to standard garden tools. Built to combine strength, comfort and lightweight usability, these tools are designed for long-lasting use without causing strain or fatigue.

Pruning

Generally, the best time to prune most plants is late winter or early spring when they are dormant, allowing them to use their stored energy to regrow after pruning. The Ultralight Bypass Pruner is the perfect tool for the job. At just 125 grams, it is lightweight without any compromise on performance, featuring a non-stick coated blade for improved cutting efficiency, soft touch grips and a responsive steel spring for a better user experience.

Wilkinson Sword has also recently introduced the Ultralight Angled Snips to its range with a long-angled nose making them ideal for delicate, precise pruning, deadheading or flower arranging.

Cutting Back

The Ultra Bypass Lopper is ideal for cutting back branches and can cut through stems of up to 25mm thick. The lopper features a non-stick coated blade for clean, effortless cutting and a shaped cutting head profile that reduces effort, making them ideal for tackling tougher branches with ease and precision, and without the aches, or fatigue associated with traditional heavier tools. The Ultralight Anvil Loppers are ideal for cutting back old, thick, dense growth as they have razor-sharp blades.

The new Ultralight Branch & Shrub Cutter is perfect for working overhead when tackling trees and tall shrubs which can be onerous with traditional tools. The cutter can cut branches at heights up to four meters and up to 25mm thick with considerably less weight, making it easier and safer to use. It includes internal cable routing to prevent snagging on branches and offers versatile two-way cutting options, providing gardeners with a practical solution for high and hard-to-reach areas. 

It is important to trim hedges and shrubs regularly to maintain a healthy garden. The Wilkinson Sword Ultralight Hedge Shears are perfect for this task because they are 30% lighter than standard shears and come with a 20cm non-stick blade that delivers a smooth and clean cut. These shears are ideal for trimming box hedges and topiary – which is expected to be one of the most sought-after gardening trends this year.

Planting

The Ultralight Stainless Steel Trowel is ideal for planting bulbs, seedlings and bedding plants. The trowel combines the perfect mix of comfort, precision and lightweight usability.

For deeper digging the Wilkinson Sword Ultralight Digging Spade is strong and expertly crafted in a comfortable, ultralight package. It combines the perfect mix of comfort, precision, and lightweight usability. Up to 40% lighter than a traditional digging spade, the tool can be used for longer with less strain, while the stainless steel head provides endurance, with serrated edge to help break up heavier soils.
