<p>Tools are a gardener&#39;s best friend &ndash; and top of the list come your trusty hand tools, pressed into daily service&nbsp;for everything from pruning to digging to sowing to weeding.</p>

<p>In our garden centre you&#39;ll find the basic kit for starting out: border spades and forks to turn your soil, hand&nbsp;tools for close-up weeding and secateurs for pruning, trimming and dead-heading.</p>

<p>Pruning tools are an essential part of a gardener&#39;s armoury: in our garden centre you&#39;ll find loppers for&nbsp;thicker branches or if you&#39;re really getting stuck in, pruning saws and bowsaws for the big jobs. Plus we have&nbsp;specialist weeding tools for winkling weeds out of the toughest corners; garden knives for everything from&nbsp;cutting string to taking cuttings; and everything you could need by way of dibbers, brooms and bulb planters.</p>

<p>Hard landscaping is the backbone of your garden - the architecture which sets off the rest of your design.&nbsp;Using one or at most two styles of paving throughout your design pulls it together and makes the garden&nbsp;work as a whole, so choose carefully from the selection in our garden centre in %locations%.</p>
<p><strong>Paving slabs:</strong> you'll find both pre-cast concrete or natural stone in our garden centre. Match slabs with the&nbsp;sandstone, limestone or granite of your local area so your garden blends into the wider landscape.</p>
<p><strong>Cobbles and setts</strong> give a timeless, fabulously textural surface. Use them to break up expanses of smoother&nbsp;paving or create a cobble mosaic in different colours for a spectacular centrepiece.</p>
<p><strong>Brick</strong> is a great choice for city gardens, echoing the buildings around it and linking your garden to the house.&nbsp;Lay across a path to make your garden look wider, or along it for the illusion of length.</p>
<p><strong>Gravel</strong> is easy to lay and very versatile. It's also permeable, allowing excess rainwater to run through - use&nbsp;in ribbons between other paving materials to drain surface water away.</p>

<p>Tools powered by electricity or petrol make short work of even the toughest jobs, keeping your garden spick&nbsp;and span and leaving you with enough time to enjoy yourself, too. You'll find a great range of both electric&nbsp;and petrol power tools in our garden centre: here's how to choose between the two.</p>
<div><strong>Electric tools</strong> tend to be smaller, lighter, and easier to use. They're ideal for smaller gardens where there's&nbsp;a readily-available electrical supply, as they're easy to manoevre around and don't take up much space to&nbsp;store. If you haven't already got a weatherproof outdoor socket get a qualified electrician to fit one for you,&nbsp;but remember to always use a circuit breaker between the socket and plug for safety.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Petrol tools</strong> are larger and heavier, and really power through your work. Petrol strimmers slice through the&nbsp;toughest of bramble thickets, and petrol lawnmowers are ideal for large lawns and where there's no power&nbsp;source handy. Don't forget to add two-stroke oil, available from our garden centre, each time you fill up: it's&nbsp;important to get the ratio right, so check the manufacturer's instructions.</div>

<p>Holes in the lawn can be caused for all sorts of reasons. Too much traffic, especially at times of drought or extreme wet, can wear the grass out; an over-enthusiastic session with the lawnmower can 'scalp' the grass; or you might have recently dealt with a weed or moss outbreak, leaving weed-fre
