Garden Hoes (41 items found)

Among all the gardening hand tools you can find in a typical gardener's collection, garden hoes are perhaps the most versatile and useful for everyday tasks. Combining tidying, weeding and cultivation roles in one design, a hoe tool is an essential item for any keen gardener.

There are several different types available to suit a variety of common yard-work tasks, and at Ace we stock a full range of garden hoes and accessories to help you get the job done.

Our Weeding Hoe Range

Keeping weeds under control is one of the most important and time-consuming tasks in a garden but using a high-quality weeding hoe will remove much of the effort. Several different types of garden hoes can be used for weeding.

• Scuffle hoes feature blades with sharpened edges at both front and rear, so they can cut through weeds by pushing forward or pulling back.
• A warren or ridging hoe has a thinner pointed tip that can be used for weeding in tighter areas, as well as tilling soil and creating furrows.
• A Dutch hoe has a blade angled at 90 degrees to skim over the soil's surface, making it ideal for hoeing loose soil with shallow-rooted weeds.
• A regular draw or garden hoe is designed mainly for loosening weeds before raking them away. However, it can also be used for mounding up soil to help drainage, or for digging shallow trenches when sowing seeds or plants.

Remove Deep-Rooted Weeds with a Grubbing Hoe

Our grubbing hoe range focuses more on digging rather than surface weeding, with blades able to reach several inches down into the soil and uproot deeply growing weeds. Many regular garden hoes have a small grubbing blade, but a dedicated grubbing hoe can dig deeper more easily to help with weeding large areas.

Grubbing hoes are also useful for turning over compacted soil as part of flower or vegetable bed preparation, with their heavy blades and shafts providing the power to break up clumps and shift buried stones.

What to Look for in a Hoe Tool

Whichever precise kind of tool you need, there are a few important things to look for when browsing our collection of garden hoes:

• Choose a model with the right handle length for your height or an adjustable handle to ensure you can use the hoe without stretching.
• Look for a comfortable but sturdy grip to reduce hand fatigue during use.
• The hoe should be made from high-quality materials, particularly where the blade joins the handle, so it can withstand the stresses of heavy weeding and digging sessions.
• Choose a lighter hoe tool for weeding and tilling where not much force is needed or a sturdier one for digging and turning heavier soil.
