Shovels vs Spades for Digging and Landscaping

Shovels and spades are both used for digging and moving soil, but they serve slightly different purposes.

Shovels typically have curved blades designed for scooping and moving materials such as soil, sand, and gravel.

Spades usually have flatter blades designed for cutting into soil, edging garden beds, and creating clean trench lines.

Contractors and landscapers often use both tools depending on the type of digging or material handling required.
