Spear & Jackson 40" Traditional Digging Spade

The heavy duty digging required to plant new shrubs and small trees or to dig out new garden beds or turn over soil in existing ones is much easier with the right tool. Our favorite for these jobs is the Spear & Jackson 40" Traditional Digging Spade. This beautifully crafted, heirloom-quality shovel measures just under 40" in total. It features a stainless steel head that is double-riveted to the handle for extra pulling power and is resistant to rust and soil adhesion. The shaft is made from a single piece of hardwood that is split at the top to form a closed wishbone handle then weatherproofed for improved durability. The handle has a darkened wood finish with deeper highlights that accentuate the grain (and are great for hiding marks left by dirty hands). Treads atop the shovel welcome foot action.

• Total length 39½"
• Hardwood handle measures 19¾" long
• Stainless steel blade measures 7" wide x 11½" long
• Designed in England

Non-plant items generally ship within a few days and are usually delivered separately from any live plants on your order.

Some non-plant items we offer are large and/or quite heavy, and we put a great deal of care into packing these items for safe transit. Accordingly, these "oversize" items are often subject to shipping & handling charges in excess of our standard rates. We make every effort to communicate, for every item to which these excess charges apply, which shipping destinations are impacted and how these charges are applied. If you have any questions about the shipping & handling charges attendant to a purchase, please contact our customer service team. 

We utilize both UPS and the USPS, depending on the size/weight of the package and the shipping distance. Both services provide tracking numbers which we include in shipping notification emails. We require a street address for delivery and request that you provide a shipping address where a daytime recipient is available. We cannot be responsible for delivery problems that stem from an incorrectly entered shipping address. Please contact our customer service team with any questions about how and when your items will be delivered.
