Outdoor chores on your property tend to require more intense tools than the chores you perform inside your house. This is where power equipment comes in handy. There are several different types of power equipment that can be used by homeowners and property managers to take care of their grounds and keep everything looking nice and neat. Here are some of the most commonly used pieces of power equipment for improving the look of your home.

1. Pressure Washer

Powerful and compact, pressure washers are great for all kinds of tasks around your property. You can use them to quickly rinse your driveway or sidewalks, or to rinse off vehicles, bikes, and boats. They can help you clean the exterior of a shed or the bricks on your house. Wash your patio furniture so that it’s nice and clean for company. Pressure washers help to take a lot of the work out of cleaning because they’re so powerful that you don’t need to scrub by hand. 

2. Rototiller

If kneeling on a gardening pad to cultivate the soil of your garden or flower beds is too painful and time-consuming, you’ll want to invest in a rototiller. These powerful tools can quickly turn over and till your soil so that it’s nice and loose and aerated, all ready for planting seeds or seedlings. Rototillers can also help you to remove weeds from your garden.

3. String Trimmer

Weeding along fences and driveways is a pain, and it can be hard to trim grass that’s growing right up against wood or concrete. You can use a string trimmer to chop down any organic matter at the edges of your lawn and around fences. String trimmers can be either gas or electric, with electric models being lightweight and gas models being more powerful.

4. Lawn Vacuum

Don’t like raking leaves each autumn? Lawn vacuums take so much of the work out of raking up leaves and twigs and other organic matter by simply sucking them up quickly. You can then dump the leaves into a bag or a mulcher to create mulch for flower beds.

5. Mowers

Lawn mowers come in all kinds of styles, from simple push mowers to large riding tractors, so that you can quickly and easily maintain your grass and even mow patterns into it to make it more elegant and increase your home’s curb appeal.
