Transplanting Hand Spade (Planting Boy)

Transplanting Hand Spade (Planting Boy)

Part aggressive trowel, part short-handled spade, the Transplanting Hand Spade (Planting Boy) is built for gardeners who refuse to let stubborn roots win. Hand-forged in the Netherlands by Sneeboer — a maker with over a century of craft behind every tool — this distinctive spade cuts decisively into compacted soil and locks onto established root systems so plants come out whole, not in pieces.

A Hand-Forged Transplanting Tool Built for Tough Root Systems

The Planting Boy’s forked blade is its defining feature. Where a standard trowel slides away from a dense root ball, these twin tines bite in and hold, giving you the leverage to free even well-established perennials or shrubs without tearing them apart. It’s the tool you reach for when ordinary trowels simply aren’t enough.

Premium Stainless Steel and Wood Construction That Lasts Generations

• Hand-forged stainless steel blade — resists rust and corrosion season after season, so maintenance stays minimal and performance stays consistent.
• Forked blade geometry — grips root systems firmly instead of slipping off, giving you cleaner transplants and healthier plants.
• Sneeboer craftsmanship — over 100 years of Dutch forging tradition means every tool meets exacting standards before it leaves the workshop.
• Made in the Netherlands — built to European quality benchmarks that home gardeners and serious hobbyists can feel with every use.
• Short-handled spade weight and control — the compact form delivers real digging power in tight beds and containers where long-handled tools can’t maneuver.
• Heirloom durability — constructed to last not just a lifetime but to pass down to the next generation of gardeners.

If you value tools that work as hard as you do, the Transplanting Hand Spade (Planting Boy) belongs in your hand. It is, quite simply, a tool built for life.
