When it comes to Spring and Summer, you’ll find that there isn’t too many big differences as far as tools and equipment needed. Here I’ve separated these homeowner tools and equipment by Spring & Summer, and then by Fall & Winter.
Spring & Summer
Here’s a quick list of tools and equipment (for all seasons) we found very useful as new homeowners that were essential:
- Rakes
- Hoses
- Outdoor lighting
- Lawnmowers (riding and push for smaller areas and hills)
- Weedwacker, chainsaw & branch cutters
- Mulch on hand (or recycled tire mulch which we switched over to in our second summer)
- planting & planting accessories (gloves, soil, watering cans, etc)
- bug & mosquito repellants, wasp spray, yard spray for insects & bugs
- outdoor electrical cords
- Furnace filters
- Plumbing maintenance tools
- pool supplies (only applicable if you have a pool of course)
- Protective gear (eye protectors, gloves, bio hazard suit, plastic sheet covering, etc)
- other home remodeling tools as needed (sanders, table saws, jigsaw, nails of all kinds, drills, etc)
Fall & Winter
- Leaf blower
- Snow Shovel
- Furniture covers and/or Tarps
- Snowblower
- Outdoor electrical cords
- Furnace filters
- Plumbing maintenance tools
- room heaters
Of course, the need for these items came about at different times as projects or basic home maintenance issues came to light, but it was quite new to have to say, “oh wow, we should probably have one of those!”
