Digging Tools for Every Job

Garden shovels should be able to put in a shift whenever you need them. Additionally, many shovels feature a blade step, allowing you to easily dig holes using the full weight of your body to cut holes. Available from John Deere, Razor-Back, Truper and other brands, learn about different shovel head options and which jobs they best suit.

Round Point Shovel

With a round head coming to a point, these metal shovels are must-haves for the casual and serious gardener alike. You can easily cut through soil, dig reliable holes and scoop and remove dirt.

Scoop Shovel

Also known as grain scoops, scoop shovels have deep basins that help prevent spillage on the carry-through. Although they can be used for various other purposes, they are highly effective when moving granular materials like seeds, fertilizer and even mulch. Scoop shovels are larger than normal square shovels, allowing you to move more in one go.

Trenching Shovel

Trenching shovels are instantly recognizable due to their long, narrow blades. They’re useful for digging new trenches or maintaining existing ones. Their longer handles allow users to dig trenches effectively while putting less strain on their backs.

Post-Hole Digger

Post-hole diggers look like two shovel heads joined together. Also referred to as post-hole shovels or hole digger tools, they’re especially useful for digging deep holes for fencing or other upright features with posts.

Hand Shovel

These little scoopers are efficient gardening tools for a variety of tasks. They typically have ergonomic designs and durable but lightweight builds with plastic or metal with wood handles. A hand shovel lets you work in smaller spaces as you garden.

Edging Shovel

Edging shovels have a half-moon blade with a sharp edge designed for creating clean, defined edges in gardens or along pathways. They’re also ideal for trimming sod or digging shallow trenches. The narrow, rounded shape makes them highly effective at creating straight lines to give your yard a neat and polished look.

Flat Shovel

Flat shovels, also called square shovels, feature a flat, straight-edged blade for moving, scooping or lifting loose material. Their design makes them ideal for leveling and scraping, and transferring materials like soil, gravel or sand. Flat shovels are versatile tools, excellent at cleaning up job sites, driveways or patios where you want a smooth finish.

Digging & Tamping Bar

A complimentary piece of digging equipment, a dual digging and tamping bar has two sides for versatile action. The digging side can help break free hard and compact soil and deepen holes. Flip it over after you’re done to pack the dirt around your project with the tamping side.

Quality Materials for Heavy-Duty Digging Shovels

Whether you’re using a digging shovel for excavation on the job site or a grain scoop shovel on the farm, you need shovels made from quality materials you can depend on.

• Blade: While aluminum is a good option for scoop shovels as it weighs less and allows for easier maneuverability, steel blades are essential for heavy-duty shovels on the farm, garden or job site.
• Handle: Many shovels have a wood, steel, fiberglass, or poly shaft, all of which provide decent longevity. Steel shafts are sturdy and resist rust, but they may be heavy for casual gardening. Fiberglass and wood handles offer a lightweight option that is sure to last.
