Cambridge Garden Tool Library helps local gardeners get things done with the right tools at the right time. We focus on practical kits, clear pricing, and equipment that is looked after between rentals.
Based in the heart of Cambridge, we serve small courtyards, family lawns, and shared allotments alike. Every listing explains what the tool does best, the typical tasks it suits, and simple guidance so you can work safely and efficiently.
We keep the process straightforward: choose a kit, book a slot, and pick up or arrange local drop-off where available. Careful maintenance and basic checks are done before each hire so your weekend project can start on time.

Edger, hand trowel, and long-handle hoe to sharpen lines and clear light weed growth around beds and paths.
Tree & Hedge Pack
Pole saw and compact trimmer for seasonal shaping. Includes basic guidance on safe reach and cut positioning.
All-round Starter Pack
Mixed toolkit for first-time renters: gloves, pruners, hand fork, and a sturdy kneeler to make weekend jobs easier.
Plan Small Sections
Split the job into short blocks and choose one area at a time. It keeps the pace steady and helps batteries or fuel stretch further.
Check Cables & PPE
Before you start, look over cables, plugs, and guards. Wear eye protection and sturdy footwear for trimming and cutting tasks.
Mind the Weather
Damp days are fine for soil work, but leave pressure washing and hedge shaping for dry windows to avoid mess and slippery surfaces.
Lift, Don’t Twist
When moving bags of cuttings or compost, bend knees and keep the load close. Take two light trips instead of one heavy carry.
Clean as You Go
Brush debris from vents and blades between tasks. A quick wipe keeps tools working smoothly and the finish looking better.

“Good guidance on which kit to pick for a paved patio. The washer and brush worked well on winter grime.”
Amelia
“Handy weekend rates and tidy equipment. The rotavator was light enough for a small bed but still effective.”
Rajan
“Booked mid-week to avoid the rush. Pick-up was quick and the team checked the cable and guard with me.”
Hannah
“Pole saw made short work of a few awkward branches. Clear safety notes helped me plan the cuts.”
