10 Best Garden Forks UK 2024 | Spear & Jackson, Fiskars and More

Our number one pick is this strong and sturdy fork from Spear & Jackson. It features a mirrored stainless steel head that's easy to clean and fully protected against the elements.

It may be a tad shorter than most, but if losing 10 cm is the price to pay for a top quality fork under £20, we think it's well worth it! Unless you're well over 6 feet tall, this is the best value fork that money will buy.

If you're looking to garden comfortably, this ergonomic border fork is an award winning choice. The tilted ergonomic handle is the real star of the show, meaning you'll be able to spend as much time in your garden or allotment as you wish, without feeling the strain in your arms or wrists.

The polypropylene shaft and stainless steel head result in a fork that's completely weatherproof. You'll be able to work in any conditions and won't have to worry about storing it in a damp shed or garage.

This offering from Rolson is easily the most wallet friendly fork on our list. It's often a worry when opting for cheaper tools as they're often less durable and sturdy than premium versions, but the ash wood shaft on this fork is incredibly hard and strong.

It's also one of the lightest, comfortably coming in at under a kilogram in weight. If you're not used to using a garden fork, or are looking to pick up your first one, then this is a great choice when taking those first steps into the gardening world.

This extra long offering from Draper is the perfect choice for taller people and those with back or mobility issues that may have difficulty bending over. Aside from the length, this fork also features a solid steel shaft that's coated in a protective layer of plastic.

The soft grip handle is a nice touch to help with your overall comfort while working. And, even though it's branded as a border fork, it's more than capable when it comes to heavier duty tasks.

Not many people are aware that Draper is a family run company, producing high quality gardening tools, without the price tag. The epoxy coated carbon steel makes this border fork completely weatherproof, and surprisingly durable too!

The savings come from the fact that it's slightly shorter than the average, coming in at 92 cm. While this means it may not be suitable for those who are very tall, we think the low price justifies shaving off a few cms.

This offering from Fiskars is a little longer than your usual digging fork, making it great for taller people, or those with large green spaces that need tending to. It's a high quality fork that's extremely durable, due to the fact that ash is a relatively hard wood.

It's potentially going to be a bit unwieldy for the average man or woman, especially in a smaller garden. Plus, it comes with a slightly higher price tag! That said, it's well worth the investment if you're a keen gardener with a large outdoor space. 

If you're after a great pitchfork for farming, then this is the best available on the market. Its coated tines mean that it can handle all types of garden waste and agricultural materials without rusting or breaking.

The reason it sits so low on our list is no fault of the fork itself, but simply because it's much less versatile than a digging or border fork. Most gardens in the UK won't have a need for one, but for those who do, you won't regret this purchase!

This unique weeding fork from Spear & Jackson is a great choice for those with mobility issues, or those lacking the strength to wield a traditional garden fork. The lighter weight makes it easier to handle so you won't have to sacrifice time in the garden.

Obviously, this fork's small head means that it's not going to be suitable for more heavy duty jobs, but when it comes to removing weeds, tidying up rough edges, and getting soil ready to plant, it works a treat!

It may not be the biggest feature, but the fact that this fork is orange definitely wins it some brownie points as it'll stick out among other tools or in an overgrown garden. But more importantly, as budget options go, this is a solid choice.

The carbon steel head is surprisingly sturdy for the cost, but the tines themselves aren't the sharpest in the world, meaning that cutting through hard soil will be difficult. This shouldn't be an issue for flowerbeds, but could prove unsuitable for compacted ground.

We can't not mention the Classic Potato Fork from Fiskars as it's simply the best potato fork out there. It's the highest quality option around and it's well worth the investment if you're growing potatoes and other root veggies.

Obviously, spending £70 on a fork that's only designed to dig out potatoes if you don't grow vegetables is not something we'd recommend doing! The low placing is only due to the incredibly niche nature of the fork and not at all indicative of its quality.
