MARSHALLTOWN's PROSCAPE™ line offers a variety of landscaping tools perfect for every outdoor task or project. And this year, MARSHALLTOWN is excited to offer three additional long handled tools that you will want in your garden shed.

Tools Built Tough

Bow Rake

The PROSCAPE™ 16-Tine Bow Rake has a strong forged steel head that makes it perfect for leveling and breaking up soil, spreading mulch, and clearing leaves and debris from lawn and garden areas. The long, fiberglass handle extends your reach and provides you with improved leverage, making it ideal for a variety of spring projects.

Digging Shovel

With a durable 14-gauge round point digging blade, the PROSCAPE™ Digging Shovel breaks through compacted soil, cuts through roots, and digs holes for posts, plants, and trees with ease. This shovel has an extra-large forward step with traction features, allowing you to use more force during the toughest outdoor projects.

Transfer Shovel

The PROSCAPE™ Transfer Shovel is not only great for cleanup tasks, but it is useful for spreading landscaping materials like mulch, gravel, or soil, and for clearing debris from various areas around the yard: garden beds, pathways, or work sites. Like the Digging Shovel, it also has an extra-large forward step with traction so you can apply even more downward force when lifting and moving materials.

The Landscaping Projects Everyone is Tackling in 2026

Besides cleaning up yards, homeowners are also spending time on projects that add function, beauty, and long-term value. With most projects starting with the same three steps (digging, moving, leveling), it's only right to grab a PROSCAPE™ Long Handled Tool.

Sustainable/Native Landscaping

Many homeowners are looking for ways to create low-maintenance, water-wise solutions in their yards. This might include a rain garden—a lower level garden that collects runoff from roofs and walkways, allowing stormwater to infiltrate the ground instead of pooling on lawns.

Patios, Fire Pits, and Outdoor Spaces

Expanding outdoor spaces continues to be one of the most popular upgrades heading into 2026. Whether you're installing a new patio or building a fire pit, these projects start with proper ground preparation. The Digging Shovel makes excavation easy, the Transfer Shovel helps move gravel and base materials efficiently, and the 16-Tine Bow Rake ensures a smooth, level surface before finishing materials are installed.

Vegetable Gardens and Raised Beds

Did you know that over 67% of U.S. adults now grow some of their own food? This is a trend that is only continuing to rise in 2026. Creating the best space to grow your veggies and herbs starts with properly prepared soil. The Digging Shovel is great for turning soil, digging planting trenches, and setting trees or large vegetables, while the Transfer Shovel is ideal for moving compost and filling beds. Finally, the 16-Tine Bow Rake smooths soil surfaces, creates even planting rows, and ensures a level, seed-ready bed.

Front Yard Refreshes

To refresh or renovate your front yard, you might remove old turf and reshape garden beds. Sod removal and border excavation is easier with the Digging Shovel, and the Transfer Shovel will be especially helpful for spreading mulch, decorative stone, or soil evenly across your yard. To finish, the 16-Tine Bow Rake levels and grades the soil, ensuring proper drainage and a smooth surface ready for new plants or seed!

Whether you're tackling cleanup, planting, or major landscaping projects, the PROSCAPE™ Long Handled Tools will provide you with the strength, durability, and control you need. Built for everyday use, these tools are a reliable addition to any garden shed, helping you complete the projects on your 2026 landscaping list.
