Shears

Explore Our Full Shears Range

Tools are an essential aspect of gardening, and garden shears play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy and aesthetic garden. Available in a range of sizes and designs, our shears are essential for trimming greenery, deadheading flowers, shaping topiary, and cutting branches.

What Are the Different Types of Shears?

While many garden shears may perform very similar functions, they can feature varying designs that produce different types of cuts. Firstly, there are bypass shears, which function very much like scissors, with two blades passing over one another to deliver a sharp, clean cut.

There are also anvil shears, featuring just a single blade that slices down into a flat block. This type of garden shear produces a more crushing motion, requiring less force to break through wood. 

What Shears Do I Need?

Deciding which shears to choose comes down to assessing the garden task you are looking to complete, as each set of shears will be designed to perform a particular cut. If you are shaping hedges, the sharp blades and long handles of hedging shears make reaching high branches easier. To cut grass, especially when obstacles are in the way, the curved blades of edging shears are most appropriate. Pruning shears, on the other hand, are the ideal choice for deadheading flowers or trimming shrubs.
