Planting Shrubs

Planting shrubs can instantly shape the look and feel of a landscape. They define space, create privacy, and add year-round interest. Unfortunately, digging wide, deep holes by hand can be slow and exhausting. A Power Planter auger for planting shrubs makes the job easier by doing the hard digging for you—just attach it to your cordless drill and get to work.

If you’ve ever looked up tips on how to plant shrubs, you know the goal is to dig a hole wide enough for the roots to spread naturally and deep enough so the shrub sits at its original soil level. Using a Power Planter shrub planting auger gives you better control over the size and depth of each hole, which helps your plants settle in and grow strong. It also eliminates the guesswork that often comes with hand tools and uneven digging.

Getting shrubs in the ground is even more of a challenge when you're dealing with compacted or rocky soil. Hand planting new shrubs in those conditions can slow you down and wear you out quickly. Power Planter augers are built to cut through tough ground while loosening the soil around each hole, which gives the roots a better environment to take hold. This extra aeration also helps with drainage, which reduces stress on the plant and improves long-term growth.

A well-designed shrub planting auger can speed up projects without sacrificing precision. It's built to handle both container-grown shrubs and balled-and-burlapped root systems, holding up well even through heavy, repeated use. If you're searching for reliable tools for planting shrubs, Power Planter offers durable options that get the job done without the physical strain.

Each auger we offer is proudly made in the USA and hand-welded in Illinois. Additionally, Power Planter shrub augers are supported by fast shipping and a team that truly understands the needs of working gardeners and landscapers.
