Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Dutch Hoe – Professional Surface Weeding Tool

The Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Dutch Hoe is a masterfully designed tool for maintaining weed-free garden beds with minimal physical effort. This classic garden essential features a sharp-edged blade designed to slice through weed roots just below the soil surface, effectively stopping them in their tracks while simultaneously aerating the top layer of soil for better nutrient and water absorption. Crafted with premium materials, it offers a seamless blend of traditional design and modern durability.

Best For: Gardeners looking for an ergonomic, "no-stoop" solution for maintaining large garden beds and borders by clearing weeds quickly and efficiently.

Key Features

• Sharp-Edged Precision: The high-performance blade slices effortlessly through weed stems just beneath the surface, ensuring a clean finish with every push-and-pull motion.

• Anti-Clog Design: The blade is supported by two long brackets that keep the handle and socket section clear of the soil, preventing dirt buildup and ensuring smooth movement.

• Ergonomic Long Handle: A 163cm lightweight shaft made from FSC-certified hardwood allows for a completely upright working position, eliminating the need for bending and reducing back strain.

• Rust-Resistant Stainless Steel: The mirror-polished head is highly resistant to corrosion, ensuring the tool glides through soil and remains in pristine condition for years.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
