Landscaping tool reviews cover new cordless lawn equipment as well as zero turn mowers and garden tools. Of course, gas powered trimmers and blowers also represent a large portion of our reviews. Reviews of outdoor power equipment products help landscaping professionals as well as arborists understand which tools perform the best for their needs. This is especially important for new cordless technologies. Some tools, like the Husqvarna 36V chainsaw is great for limbing. Other tools like the DeWalt 40V Max backpack blower are better for semi-Pro use. Landscaping Tool Reviews for Professional Landscapers Professionals often think they know who makes the best tools. Most of them go for gas-powered models. Get them involved in a 36V chainsaw shootout, however, and they get to think outside of the box. Some tools, like the Husqvarna M-ZT zero turn mower are a long ways away from going cordless. Other tools, like the Makita LXT 18V brushless trimmer make a lot of sense.

Boy, did we open a can of worms when we started searching and testing to determine the best battery-powered chainsaw models across a range of applications. 5 years ago, there weren’t that many cordless chainsaws, and even fewer had good enough performance to warrant replacing gas saws. Fast forward to today and cordless chainsaws meet […]
Greenworks Pro 60V 42″ Residential and Lawn Tractor Power Through Lawn Care We were lucky enough to get a visit from our friends at Greenworks to take a look at two very special products: the Greenworks Pro 60V residential ZT mower and Lawn Tractor. These depart from the 82V 48-inch residential zero-turn, and we think […]
Skil 40V Mower Has What It Takes for Lawn Maintenance Skil’s 40V line of OPE tools thus far has been on-point. Granted, the line is clearly geared toward the homeowner rather than the OPE Pro, but we felt that both the blower and hedge trimmer offered a relatively high amount of bangs for a very […]
When I drive around the beautiful countryside of Pennsylvania in the summer, I notice a lot of local landscaping companies keeping yards trimmed up and looking great. The brand name I see most often on their machines is Toro. It’s no doubt that Toro makes a lot of great professional and consumer level mowers trusted […]

Greenworks 60V Chainsaw Gets a Major Power Boost We were pleased with the performance we saw in the last 60V chainsaw from Greenworks.
