Great watering can

My wife says this has been the best watering can she’s ever used. Well worth the price to have a can that pours consistently, easy to carry, and doesn’t leak.

Great Customer Service!!

The bypass pruners we improperly listed on the website. The cut size was listed larger than the actual pruners were capable of. Although I made my purchase online, they called me the next business day to ensure I still wanted my order. When I said yes, they shipped that day.

Bypass pruners work like scissors, using two blades to make clean cuts on live plants and green stems. They’re ideal for small plants, shrubs, and regular garden maintenance. On the other hand, Anvil pruners have a single sharp blade that cuts against a flat surface, which makes them better for cutting dead branches and tougher material. If you're working in flower beds or pruning small trees, having both types in your tool shed gives you better control. You can explore different types of pruning tools, including Corona ComfortGEL Bypass Pruner for clean cuts and Corona Anvil Pruner for dry wood.
Start with hand pruners for everyday tasks like trimming small branches and maintaining garden beds.
Loppers are better for medium-sized branches that need more leverage, especially in overgrown areas or near trees. For longer reach and extra power, essential gardening tools like the Corona DualCUT Bypass Lopper.
When branches get too thick for either, a pruning saw is the most efficient cutting tool. RazorTOOTH Folding Saw is a good example and can help save time and effort.
Yes, pruning tools with longer handles are helpful when trimming higher branches or hard-to-reach spots in your backyard. They provide more reach and cutting power without the need to use a ladder. This is especially useful in areas like Aspen where many yards have mature trees or uneven ground. Look for tree pruning tools with reach like the Corona SwivelCUT Long Reach Pruner or Cordless Pole Chain Saw that are specifically designed for extended access and safer trimming.
For overgrown gardens or dense brush, you’ll want cutting tools that can handle thicker branches and tangled weeds. A sharp pruning saw like the Corona RazorTOOTH Fixed Blade Saw is effective for cutting through woody material, while a Fiskars Machete Axe works well for clearing away vines or dense groundcover. If you’re dealing with packed soil or heavy roots, helpful landscaping tools like striking tools can assist in breaking through the ground. These are especially useful when removing unwanted plants, edging garden beds, or prepping space for new planting.
Forged pruners are made from a single piece of hardened steel, which gives them added strength and durability. This makes them ideal for frequent yard work, especially when trimming thicker stems or dealing with heavy-duty garden tasks. Compared to stamped metal tools, forged options are more resistant to wear and give you cleaner, smoother cuts. If you're looking for forged quality garden tools, consider the Corona DualCUT Branch & Stem Bypass Pruner or the Corona Convertible Pruner & Lopper for extra cutting power and comfort.
Yes, Rivendell Distribution carries garden tools and equipment that work well in high-altitude areas like Aspen, where yards often include dense shrubs, dry soil, and mature trees. Many of our pruners, saws, and shears are specifically designed to handle tough conditions, giving you better control while protecting your plants. For tips on caring for your yard in the mountains, you can also check out our blog on gardening tips for high-altitude conditions, which covers everything from watering to tool use.
For small garden spaces or shaping flower beds, compact and lightweight tools give you better control around delicate plants. Hand pruners and snips work well for fine trimming, while garden shears are great for edging and light shaping. If you're working close to the ground or around tight corners, use tools for trimming small plants like the Fiskars Softouch Micro-Tip Snip or Corona Floral Snips. These cutting tools are especially helpful for removing dead leaves, thinning small branches, or pruning herbs without damaging surrounding seedlings or soil.
Garden shears and pruning shears are made for different kinds of tasks. Pruning shears are stronger and built to cut through stems and branches, while garden shears have longer blades and are better for shaping hedges, trimming back loose material, or tidying edges. If you're maintaining large flower beds, hedges, or bushes, garden shears for trimming like the Corona Hedge Shears or Fiskars Garden Shears offer more efficiency for broader cuts. Having both in your collection of essential gardening tools gives you the flexibility to manage a variety of jobs around your yard.
Keeping your pruners, shears, standard leaf rakes and saws in good shape helps them last longer and perform better. After each use, wipe off any dirt, sap, or moisture and dry the blades completely before storing them. Regularly sharpening your blades keeps cuts clean and reduces strain on your hands and plants. It also helps prevent the spread of plant diseases. Proper tool care is part of maintaining overall garden health, just like using mulch, rotating crops, or adding bagged compost to improve soil quality.
Yes, we offer shipping and local delivery throughout Colorado, including the Aspen area. Smaller orders like pruning tools, garden hand tools, and supplies can ship via USPS, FedEx, or be picked up in-store. Larger orders can be delivered on our local truck, which runs Monday through Friday from March to November.
