Looking for Recommendations on Affordable, Reliable Landscaping Tools

Hi everyone!

I’m fairly new to landscaping started this year, and I’m looking for some advice from the pros who’ve been doing this a lot longer than I have. Right now, I handle everything from gutter cleanings and hedge trimmings (boxwoods, hedges, leaf removal) to weed eating and general yard work.

I’m working with basic tools and a lot of heart and passion. Most of the money I earn goes right back into the business, so I don’t have top-tier equipment yet. I’m hoping to get recommendations on reliable, affordable leaf blowers, trimmers, hedge clippers, and any other tools or gear that make jobs easier and more efficient.

I’m still researching and plan to upgrade one piece at a time as I can afford it. Any tips or advice would mean a lot thank you all in advance!

     I've gotten a few of my tools from Facebook Market Place, Thrift Stores and Yard Sales.

    Good Luck

      I agree , Facebook marketplace can be gold. Yard Sales in nice neighborhoods are also great options . the bigger the yard the better chance they have so pro tools.

    like GreenThumb777​ said make sure you check the marketplace . I would also suggest that you may want provide less services. the less you offer the less tools  needed. I found when I had less just offering cutting edging and blowing allowed me to grow faster.
