Burgon & Ball - Lawn Weeding Knife – Forged High-Carbon Steel Precision Weeder

Burgon & Ball Lawn Weeding Knife – Forged High-Carbon Steel Precision Weeder

The Burgon & Ball Lawn Weeding Knife is a specialized, high-performance tool designed for the surgical removal of weeds from turf and tight garden spaces. Known as one of the toughest and most compact weeding knives available, it is engineered to penetrate the ground with minimal surface disruption. Featuring aggressive teeth that slice through soil and grass, it allows the gardener to engage and extract the entire root system of a weed, ensuring it doesn't regrow in your pristine lawn.

Best For: Lawn enthusiasts and gardeners who need to remove stubborn weeds like dandelions, plantains, or thistles from turf without leaving large holes or damaging the surrounding grass.

Key Features

• Stubby & Ultra-Tough Design: The compact 20cm profile provides maximum leverage and strength, allowing you to pry and pull without the tool bending or snapping under pressure.
• Super Sharp Root-Engaging Teeth: Features integrated serrations that slice through soil and grass runners before "gripping" the weed root for a clean, whole-root extraction.
• Minimal Lawn Disturbance: Specifically designed to be slender and precise, so you can remove deep-rooted weeds while leaving the smallest possible footprint in your lawn.
• Forged High-Carbon Steel: Hand-forged for exceptional durability and edge retention, ensuring the teeth and point stay sharp even when working in stony or compacted ground.
• Ergonomic Traditional Handle: Features an FSC® hardwood handle that fits comfortably in the hand, providing the tactile control needed for delicate prying tasks.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
