3 Outdoor Tools to Keep Out in the Winter and 3 to Put Away

Any time you can free up space in your garage is a good time. Now that winter is finally here, you can put some of your outdoor tools into long-term storage until spring. Your favorite tools, like your battery mower and string trimmer, have served you well this season, but they aren’t of much use when there’s snow on the ground. However, there are a few tools that are wise to keep handy as the weather gets colder. These are three of the tools you want to keep close by and three tools you can forget about until spring.

Battery Hedge Trimmer

Keep These Tools Ready

Leaf Blowers

One of the keys to ensuring your lawn stays healthy over the winter is to keep it clear before it gets covered in frost or snow. A cordless leaf blower is compact enough that you can keep it handy without it being in the way. Use the electric leaf blower to keep your lawn clear of the leaves that fall through November and early December. If these leaves get caught underneath the snow, they can suffocate your lawn or transmit disease if they get wet. Plus, they just don’t look great, so make short work of them with your cordless leaf blower.

Hedge Trimmers

You won’t use it every week, but don’t put away your electric hedge trimmers yet. Evergreen hedges are increasing in popularity. If your yard features a hedge still growing in winter, you will have to keep it maintained. Make sure your battery hedge trimmer is accessible so you can trim your hedge as needed. You might also want to shape your hedge if you plan on decorating it with holiday lights.

Snow Blowers

You might still have your snow blower in storage from summer, but you should prepare for snowfall early. When snow falls earlier than expected, it can be a pain to dig through your storage shed for a snow blower. Clear out a spot for your snow blower and keep it accessible all winter long. Set yourself up for success with an electric snow blower, so you don’t have to worry about gas either. A powerful, easy-to-start snow blower will keep blizzard stress to a minimum.

Store These Tools for Spring

Lawn Mowers

Once the temperature starts dropping in late fall and early winter, your grass will stop growing. After mulching any leaves still on the ground, you won’t need to use your lawn mower again for a few months. Do yourself a favor and put it in storage to free up some room. The best electric lawn mowers will fold up neatly so you can keep them out of the way.

String Trimmers

String trimmers, like lawn mowers, can be put away once your grass stops growing and you’ve done your final batch of lawn care. If you have an electric string trimmer, your storage process is simplified. Just take the battery out and find a dry spot for the trimmer to hibernate.

Pressure Washers

Pressure washers are helpful right up until temperatures drop below freezing and snow starts falling. Once this happens, you can take a break from using water to clean dirt and grime off your driveway. Empty your pressure washer of any water, so it doesn’t freeze, and pack the unit into storage where it is out of the way.
