These outdoor areas are often filled with items that are essential for gardening, landscaping, and even caring for small livestock. Generally speaking it’s also a little challenging to predict where a homeowner may store many of these items (such as in a garage, Shed, Greenhouse or simple storage container). With that in mind we decided to bundle these types of items together from a usage standpoint, leaving where to account for many of these in your inventory management up to you. As always, documenting these items during an insurance Claim or construction project is crucial to ensure all belongings are accounted for. This guide will help you create a comprehensive inventory of their lawn and garden items, covering tools, equipment, and other essential supplies. ### Types of Lawn & Garden Areas **Backyard Garden:** A cultivated area in the backyard, often used for growing flowers, vegetables, and herbs. These gardens are usually equipped with various tools, irrigation systems, and decorative elements. **Orchard or Fruit Garden:** A dedicated space for growing Fruit Trees, berry bushes, or other edible plants. This area may include specific tools and protective supplies to maintain healthy plants. **Lawn:** The grassy area of the yard that requires regular maintenance such as mowing, fertilizing, and watering. The lawn often houses a variety of equipment, including mowers and trimmers. **Poultry and Livestock Area:** Much less common than the other areas, a section of the yard or garden dedicated to keeping chickens, ducks, or other small livestock still should be accounted for. This area typically includes coops, feeders, and other essential supplies for animal care but keep in mind if the area is much larger than a hobby you may need separate coverage for farming activities. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3e6d4bd-783c-404a-ae48-078db5956f3f/Images/Documentation/Loti - Wheelbarrow.webp) ### Yard & Garden Tools - Aerator - Bulb planter - Cultivator - Edger - Folding saw - Garden claw - Garden fork - Garden hoe - Garden kneeler - Garden Rake - Garden Trowel - Garden weasel - Grass shears - Hedge shears - Hori hori knife - Hose - Ladder - Leaf rake - Loppers - Mattock - Orchard ladder - Pickaxe - Pitchfork - Pole pruner - Post Hole Digger - Pruning shears - Pruning saw - Round point shovel - Scoop shovel - Scuffle hoe - Secateurs - Seed spreader - Shovel - Shrub rake - Sledgehammer - Snow shovel - Soil scoop - Spade - Telescopic pruner - Tiller - Topiary shears - Transplanting trowel - Tree pruner - Turfing iron - Watering can - Weed puller - Wheelbarrow - Yard cart ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3e6d4bd-783c-404a-ae48-078db5956f3f/Images/Documentation/Loti - Chainsaw.webp) ### Mowers, Blowers & Trimmers - Backpack blower - Blower - Chainsaw - Cordless trimmer - Electric edger - Gas trimmer - Hedge trimmer - Lawn mower - Lawn Roller - Lawn vacuum - Leaf shredder - Pole saw - Push mower - Reel mower - Riding lawn mower - Robotic lawn mower - Stump remover ### Soils, Fertilizers & Mulches - Bagged Compost - Cow Manure - Garden Soil - Lime pellets - Mulch chips - Peat moss - Perlite - Potting soil - Rock dust - Seed Starting mix - Straw mulch - Topsoil - Vermiculite - Worm Castings - Wood chips ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3e6d4bd-783c-404a-ae48-078db5956f3f/Images/Documentation/Loti - Garden Hose.webp) ### Irrigation Supplies - Automatic sprinkler system - Backflow Preventer - Drip Irrigation emitters - Drip irrigation tubing - Garden hose - Hose reel - Irrigation Controller - Irrigation valves - Lawn sprinkler - Micro sprinklers - Pop-up sprinklers - Rain Barrel - Rain gauge - Soaker Hose - Sprinkler heads - Sprinkler timer - Sprinkler wands - Watering wand - Yard hydrant - Y-hose connector ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3e6d4bd-783c-404a-ae48-078db5956f3f/Images/Documentation/Loti - Garden Gnome.webp) ### Garden Sculptures & Statues - Angel statue - Bird bath - Fairy garden sculptures - Garden gnome - Metal wind spinner - Stone Buddha statue - Sun dial - Terra cotta animal figurine - Wind chime sculpture - Zen garden statue ### Poultry & Livestock - Chicken Coop - Chicken feeder - Chicken waterer - Duck house - Egg basket - Electric fence - Feed storage bin - Feed trough - Heat lamp - Nesting boxes - Poultry netting - Scratch grains - Stock tank - Water trough - Wire fencing ## Wrap-Up This guide provides homeowners with a structured approach to documenting their lawn and garden items, ensuring that all essential tools, equipment, and supplies are properly inventoried during insurance claims or renovations.
