Shovels & Spades

Shovels & Spades for Building, Landscaping & DIY

Shovels and spades are used for preparing ground, digging trenches, lifting soil and moving loose materials. From site preparation and drainage work to garden improvements and small repairs, our range offers blade shapes and tool sizes to suit different tasks and working spaces.

Choosing a Square Mouth, Taper Mouth or Trenching Shovel

Choose your shovel around the material you need to move and the shape of the excavation:

• Square mouth shovel: suited to scooping loose soil, sand and gravel. Its straight front edge helps gather material from firm, level surfaces.
• Taper mouth shovel: a general-purpose option for digging and shifting material, with a tapered blade for entering the ground and collecting loosened soil.
• Trenching shovel: suited to removing soil from narrow excavations, including trenches prepared for pipework.

Digging Spades & Mini Shovels

A digging spade suits cutting into soil and lifting it out during ground preparation. The treaded digging spade in our range provides a surface for applying foot pressure to the blade.

For restricted working spaces, choose between two mini shovel types:

• Mini round point shovel: a compact option for smaller digging tasks.
• Mini square mouth shovel: useful for scooping loose material where a full-size shovel is awkward to manoeuvre.

Compare the overall length and tool weight to find a manageable option for your working space.

Moving Materials Around the Site

For handling sand and gravel, pair your shovel with builders buckets and flexi tubs for smaller loads. For moving larger quantities across the site or garden, browse our wheelbarrows and accessories.
