Around 55-60% of Minnesotans live in the Twin Cities metro, but a smaller plot of land still needs to be cared for. Whether you’re managing a tiny yard, community garden or just want to keep your space looking sharp, having the right tools is key.
Why Property Maintenance Matters in the City
A tidy outdoor space in the city has many benefits. Not only does it enhance curb appeal and property value, it also adds to yours and your neighbors’ quality of life. Well-maintained city properties have even been shown to reduce crime. Caring for your yard now means fewer costly repairs down the road, no matter where you live.
Compact Tools for City Living
Tillers
The Twin Cities is home to many beautiful city gardens. If you’re into gardening, a tiller is a game changer. It makes breaking up soil a breeze, helping you plant flowers or veggies in no time. Look for a lightweight, electric tiller that’s easy to maneuver, such as the Toro 10” 2-Cycle 43CC Cultivator.
Chainsaws
Even city folks need to keep their trees in check. Compact, handheld equipment like chainsaws are perfect for trimming branches and taking down small trees. Go for a lightweight, battery-operated model that packs a punch without being cumbersome, such as the Stihl MS 170.
String Trimmer
Don’t let overgrown edges ruin your yard’s look. A string trimmer is your best friend for those hard-to-reach spots where a lawn mower can’t go. Choose a lightweight model that can easily handle touch-ups, like the Stihl KM 56 RC-E.
Snowblowers
There’s nothing worse than getting snowed in when you have to leave for work and cars are cramming the city street. Clear the way with a small snowblower that’s easy to operate, keeping things safe and accessible for all. Our Toro Power Curve 18” is tough, efficient and a great deal.
Leaf Blowers
Fall brings a mountain of leaves, but a lightweight leaf blower can handle them easily. For superior performance at a good price, try the Stihl BG 50. You’ll be amazed at how sharp your yard looks with all that debris cleared away.
