Trowels – Product list
Hand trowels for general use
Hand trowels are the most versatile tool in the range, suited to general digging, planting and weeding tasks. The Faithfull Countryman Hand Trowel and Kent & Stowe Stainless Steel Hand Trowel both suit everyday container and border work, while the Fiskars Solid Trowel gives a durable single-piece construction for regular use.
Border trowels
Border trowels, such as the Kent & Stowe Stainless Steel Hand Border Trowel, use a narrower blade than a standard hand trowel, giving better access when working close to established plants or in tight borders where a wider blade would risk root damage.
Dutch trowels
Dutch trowels, like the Faithfull Prestige Stainless Steel Dutch Trowel, use a flatter, more angular blade suited to precise digging and cutting through compacted soil, differing in profile from the more rounded shape of a standard hand trowel.
Transplanting and potting trowels
The Kent & Stowe Stainless Steel Hand Transplanting Trowel uses a narrower, deeper blade for lifting and moving seedlings and small plants with minimal root disturbance. Potting trowels, such as the Faithfull Countryman Hand Potting Trowel, suit filling and working compost in containers and pots.
Seed planting trowels
The Fiskars Solid Seed Planting Trowel uses a narrow, pointed profile designed specifically for creating consistent planting holes for seeds and small bulbs, more precise than a general hand trowel for this specific task.
Blade materials
Stainless steel blades, common across the Kent & Stowe and Faithfull Prestige ranges, resist soil sticking and corrosion better than standard carbon steel, keeping the trowel cleaner and working more smoothly through repeated use. Where wooden handles are used, FSC certification, seen across the Kent & Stowe range, confirms the timber comes from responsibly managed forests.
