Marksman QUALITY GARDEN LADIES BORDER SPADE CARBON STEEL LADY

Product Information

Garden spades come in a variety of sizes and styles, depending on the specific needs of the gardener. Spades and Shovels are an essential equipment for everyday gardening work, for digging, edging, aerating or breaking up soil and general garden maintenance. Though diminutive in size, it’s every bit as strong as the larger DeWit spades, with a blade forged from a single piece of steel (no welded weak spots) and a sharpened edge to help it slice through soil. Our aim is to create newsletters that will inspire and delight you, however you are able to unsubscribe at any time. If it meets a stone or root as it cuts down through the soil, it simply passes the obstruction to the side, taking the hard work out of digging in hard or stony soils.

And while a digging spade is the most common style, there are many other models, each designed with a particular task in mind. Unfortunately, there are some areas that we are unable to deliver to including Northern Ireland, The Isle of Man, The Isle of Wight, Scottish Isles and The Channel Isles. Heavy digging spades are favoured by some because their weight helps the blade cut through the soil more easily.

Founded in 1898, the family-owned toolmaker combines old-fashioned quality and craftsmanship with innovative design to create superior tools that last a lifetime.

Choosing the best garden spade for you and your garden will depend on the tasks you are looking to tackle. The Burgon and Ball Groundbreaker Spade handle is crafted from FSC certified ash, which gives you peace of mind that the wood has been sourced from managed forests. A slightly shorter handle aids manoeuvrability, making it ideal for smaller plots or gardeners who prefer a more compact tool.

Every tool is hand-forged in the Netherlands from tough boron steel - shaped, sharpened and burnished for durability, giving it the same blackened patina as traditional Edwardian tools. Looking after your spade will ensure that it lasts as long as possible and should save you money long term. Longer and angled shafts help you bend less and will take the strain off of your back but it can take a while to adjust to the unusual digging angle. The spades are available in a range of styles from traditional large digging spades to narrow transplanting spades, there really is the perfect spade for any gardening task.
