Independence Day will be here before you know it, which means that now is the time to get to work on planning your backyard celebrations. The three key ingredients for a successful 4th of July party are planning, preparation, and activities. Feel free to assign duties to guests in the days and weeks ahead of the party, such as purchasing drinks and appetizers or putting together a few kid friendly games for the younger crowd.  

As you will see in this video, one simple strategy for making sure that you purchase all items necessary is to create a shopping list before heading to various stores. Once you have food, games, and other essentials on hand, decorate the outdoor space, tidy up your home, and let the celebrations begin.

One component of every 4th of July party that you simply can’t do without is a grill. To find out which style of grill you should rent for your outdoor barbecue party, call A Tool Shed Equipment Rentals at (831) 359-4769.

Growing your own produce and herbs is convenient, therapeutic, educational, and environmentally friendly. If you would love to be able to step into your backyard to collect fresh ingredients when a salad or other vegetable-heavy dish is calling your name, you need planting seeds and the following tools .

Weed Eater At the beginning of the planting season, a weed eater can help you eliminate weeds that would otherwise compete with your plants for sun, water, and living space. It is important to weed throughout the gardening season, although you should be very mindful should you decide to use a weed eater near your plants.

Tiller A lawn tiller plays an essential role in preparing soil for planting. Tillers come in many sizes and with varying degrees of horsepower, but a small garden tiller should work for most small gardener’s needs.

Seeder If you are planting on a large scale, you will definitely save some time and hassle by using a seeder. A Tool Shed Equipment Rentals lends these super helpful tools to garden enthusiasts in San Jose at the low rate of $8 an hour.

Spade or Gardening Fork If you are working in a large area or doing any heavy cultivation, you will benefit from a spade or gardening fork. The tools can be used during the digging, planting, and harvesting phases of gardening.

Rakes and Hoes Rakes and hoes can help uproot weeds, and they are especially nice to have when you prepare a garden plot for planting. Choose the rakes and hoes you rent or purchase based on your garden soil and gardening goals.

Rental tools are a great option for those who are transforming yard space into a personal garden. It is also an economical way for long-time gardeners to get their hands on expensive, upmarket tools that are only required a few times a year. To speak with a garden equipment expert in San Jose about renting these and other tools, call A Tool Shed Equipment Rentals at (831) 359-4769.

Lawn aeration is a must for property owners who care about the health and appearance of their lawns. Aerating your lawn will reduce the soil compaction that occurs every time you or your children are playing, working, or relaxing on your lawn. As a result, your soil can more easily get the nutrients, oxygen, and water it needs to thrive.

Lawn aeration is fairly straightforward, but if you are a first-time lawn aerator, there are a handful of things you should be aware of. Before you start, mow your grass. After mowing, mark all sprinkler heads, septic lines, and underground utilities. Take care not to run the aerator directly over any of these markings. You should also take general care while running the aerator. After aeration, rake up the aerated plugs and rake sand into the holes to prevent pests from seeking shelter in your soil.

Since lawn aeration is most beneficial in spring and fall, you may find it most cost-effective to rent an aerator as needed rather than purchasing a new one.
