Make Yard Work Easy: Best Landscape Shovels for Every Task!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Today, I got a wild idea to clear the snow in front of my house using landscape shovels. You know, those big ones for moving soil and stuff. My regular snow shovel broke, and the store’s all out. So, I thought, why not give it a shot?

First, I grabbed my two landscape shovels. One’s got a pointed tip, and the other is more square. I figured the pointed one would be good for breaking up the packed snow, and the square one for scooping. I started with the pointed shovel, plunging it into the snowdrifts. It worked alright for the first few inches, but then it got tough. The snow was too dense, and the shovel was too big to really dig in deep.

Make Yard Work Easy: Best Landscape Shovels for Every Task!

Switching to the square shovel, I tried to scoop up the snow. This was a bit easier, but still not great. The shovel’s wide blade made it hard to lift a lot of snow at once. Plus, the angle wasn’t right for throwing the snow aside. It was a real workout, let me tell you. I kept at it for about an hour, clearing a small path. It wasn’t pretty, but it was something.

Here’s what I learned:

  • Pointed shovels are okay for breaking up the top layer, but not much else.
  • Square shovels can scoop, but they’re heavy and awkward for snow.
  • Neither is a good replacement for a proper snow shovel.

Ended up borrowing a snow shovel from my neighbor to finish the job. Honestly, it was way more efficient. Landscape shovels might work in a pinch for light, fluffy snow, but for anything serious, they’re just not cut out for it. Lesson learned: stick to the right tool for the job!

So that was my little adventure with landscape shovels. Definitely not something I’d recommend, but hey, it was an interesting experiment. Makes you appreciate the good old snow shovel, right? I think I’ll stick to gardening with my landscape shovels from now on!
