Looking for the perfect gift to give the landscape and lawn care pros on your team? We rounded up some of the best landscaper gifts to give this holiday season as a “thank you” for their hard work. Whether they’re dreaming of a white Christmas or patiently waiting for the growing season to return, they’ll love the gear in our gift guide.

High-Quality Gardening Gloves

Among the top-rated gardening gloves on Amazon, this pair of gardening gloves makes a great gift. Comfortable, durable, and machine-washable, these gloves come with a waterproof coating and tight fit around the wrist to keep dirt out. Offering heavy-duty protection and a superior grip, they make the perfect Christmas gift for anyone with a green thumb. 

House and Garden Plants

Many landscapers enjoy gardening at home, so consider gifting ornamental houseplants like pothos, snake plants, or rubber plants. To spruce up garden beds, you can give maple or cherry tree saplings, starters for their favorite veggies, or a gift certificate to an online seed store.

Gift Baskets

Can’t settle on a single gift? Put together a landscaping-themed gift basket with a mix of small hand tools, seed packs, sunscreen, protein bars, a hat or bandana bearing your company logo, and a gift card to a local restaurant or garden center. This mix of functional tools and thoughtful yet personal items will show your appreciation and make their work more enjoyable.

Gardening Tool Set

Lawnmowers, trimmers, cultivators, and blowers are tools of the trade, but a quality set of gardening tools is important for the fine details of garden and yard work. One of the best gifts for both landscape professionals and garden enthusiasts, the FiveJoy Gardening Tool Set includes a transplanter, trowel, pruners, shears, weeding fork, and other hand tools made from heavy-duty aluminum. It even comes with a garden tote to carry the supplies.  

Hydro Flask Coffee Mug

For someone who works in extreme temperatures, a leak-proof mug that keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot makes a perfect gift. This 12-ounce stainless-steel mug comes in various colors and is backed by the Hydro Flask lifetime warranty.

Hori Hori Knife

A hori hori knife is the perfect gardening gift for any landscaper’s tool belt. The versatile Japanese gardening tool features a sharp, pointed blade with a serrated edge on one side and a smooth, beveled edge on the other. It comes in handy for slicing through thick roots, dividing plants, and weeding. This top-rated knife from WORKPRO  features a 7-inch stainless steel blade with an ergonomic handle and built-in ruler to measure soil depth.

Noise-Canceling Headphones

From mowing to snow blowing and everything in between, landscape maintenance is a loud job. Protect a technician’s hearing with Gardtech Safety Ear Muffs. With 29dB noise reduction, they come with a high safety rating for landscapers. They even provide Bluetooth hands-free calling with a built-in noise-canceling microphone for landscape company owners to conduct business while in the field. 

Arboretum or Botanical Garden Membership

Landscape design and maintenance professionals especially will enjoy unwinding and gaining inspiration at their local arboretum or botanical garden. If there’s a good one nearby, consider giving an annual membership.
