Mattock

A mattock is a versatile hand tool with a long handle and a dual-purpose head, featuring an axe-like blade on one side and an adze (horizontal blade) on the other. It is used in landscaping and gardening for digging, chopping roots, and breaking up hard soil or compacted ground. The mattock’s design allows it to be swung with force, making it effective for removing stubborn roots or digging in rocky or clay-heavy soils. It is an essential tool for clearing land, planting trees, and other heavy-duty landscaping tasks. The mattock’s combination of chopping and digging capabilities makes it a valuable addition to any landscaper’s toolkit.
