Note: be careful with prying out mud or other materials using these shovels and spades, as the shaft could break. Use the shovel or spade for shovelling or spading, not prying.

Spades

Spades are made for digging, and moving and turning soil, also called spading. A spade is equipped with a straight blade, that can slide through the soil and plant roots. Moving and turning the soil, essentially turning it upside down, helps to keep your garden healthy. Weeds and other unwanted plants disappear, and it improves the structure of the soil, keeping it healthy. The blade of a spade is straighter and more rectangular than the blade of a shovel. The blade makes it the perfect tool for digging and spading.

Shovels

Our shovels are scoop shovels. Basically, a scoop shovel is for above-ground use, meaning it is used for moving sand, soil, and other materials. Our shovels have a large and slightly curved blade, which is ideal for shovelling. In addition to moving around soil, you can also you a shovel for light digging. However, a spade is better for this job.
