Best garden tools to stand the test of time

[GrandGarden876]

I have just purchased my first home which has allowed me to landscape and plant a nice garden. The problem is, I’m not sure what kind of garden tools I will need or which ones are the best for durability sake. If I’m going to invest in garden equipment I want to make sure I’m buying the best possible tools that will last for years to come. I plan on planting a vegetable garden, doing some major landscaping around my house, and planting flower beds in designated areas around my house. I need the advice of somebody who knows and will give me an honest answer. Everywhere I look each company claims they have the best tools that will last many, many years, so I need an unbiased opinion. What are your top picks for garden equipment and tools for the beginner who doesn’t want to waste his time and money on tools that are below standard?
