We are first time homebuyers, and got a beautifully landscaped front yard, and back yard.
Now, we don't know the first thing about gardening, but are willing to learn.
What are the first tools we need? We don't even know about hoses, lawn mowers, etc. Please give us the names of the tools we need immediately, and brand names.
When I go shopping, I just get overwhelmed by the different brands out there.
So, initiate us into the world of gardening.

p.s. We have 3 rose bushes in the front, that are too tall and we want them to go. Lots of bushes in front that we want to select and weed out some. Want to spread grass under some trees or shady area. I know these are lots of questions, but someone can answer one or all. Thanks.



Answer
If you have a large yard you need a riding lawnmower, if it's small you can use a walk-behind mower.
A garden fork, small pruners, & a bigger heavy-duty bush pruner would be my first picks followed by a rake, shovel, hoe & an inexpensive spreader that you walk behind. The spreader doesn't have to be anything fancy; it's just something to save time & help you spread the grass seed more evenly. You can use the heavy-duty garden fork to dig up the plants that you don't want. If you want to put in a plant, the fork can be used for digging without compacting the soil for better drainage & you can use it tilted sideways to break up clumps. Your plants may need trimming so the pruners help. If you have large bushes, you'll eventually need a hedge trimmer. If you have an electrical outlet nearby your bushes, an electric hedge trimmer would be handy & convenient. You'll need a heavy-duty extension cord that'll reach to your bushes. If you have really large bushes that you're taking out, a chain-saw would be easier & faster than trying to do it any other way. Small bushes can be cut down with a heavy-duty bush pruner & a pruning saw.

Don't forget the grass seeds & either the biggest hose you can get or several medium size hoses which connect together to reach the space you have to water.
Good luck on your gardening adventure! Hope this is helpful.

I live in Knoxville, TN how much should I charge for mowing lawns with my own riding mower?







I would like to know how much for a small yard, medium yard, and large yard. (there is alot of medium yards in my neighboor hood)


Answer
Hello
It depends on how large the yard is . i would say for a medium sized yard i would charge at least $35.00 for a large yard $45.00 & an extra large yard $55.00. You want to be able to fix the tractor if somethingg goes wrong with it. Also you need to provide the oil & gas so i believe these to be good prices. Good Luck
God Bless
