Sneeboer x Gardenheir Stone Spade

The Sneeboer x Gardenheir Stone Spade features a narrower, hand-forged stainless steel blade designed to slice through compacted earth and pry out stones that would typically deflect a wider, standard shovel. The integrated foot steps allow you to apply significant downward pressure, giving you the leverage needed to penetrate difficult terrain.

Yes, the handle is crafted from FSC-certified ash wood, which is known for its strength and shock-absorbing qualities. While it is robust enough for demanding garden tasks, it is still a natural material, so it is best to avoid using it as a lever for extreme, non-gardening demolition work.

The spade weighs 4 lbs. While it is heavier than a standard garden spade due to its reinforced construction and solid stainless steel head, the weight is intentional; it provides the necessary gravity and force to break through hard ground without you having to overexert yourself.

The stainless steel is naturally corrosion-resistant, which helps prevent rust even after contact with damp soil. To keep it in top condition, simply wipe the blade clean of dirt and debris after each use and store it in a dry place.

Absolutely. Because of its narrow blade and durable construction, it is excellent for splitting perennials, planting deep-rooted shrubs, and trenching. It is a versatile, multi-purpose tool for any garden project that requires precision and extra force.
