Keep your paths and patios looking beautifully sharp with the Burgon and Ball BoronGreen Block Paving Knife, a compact but mighty weeding tool created especially for block paving and tight joints. Part of the innovative BoronGreen range, it combines outstanding performance with genuine sustainability credentials so you can care for your garden and the planet at the same time.
The secret is in the boron steel head. Boron steel is stronger, more durable and tougher than like for like carbon steel, without adding unnecessary weight. It also holds a sharp working edge for longer, which is exactly what you want when you are tackling stubborn moss and weeds wedged into narrow gaps. BoronGreen steel is made using around eighty percent recycled content, believed to be a first for UK garden tools, so every time you weed you are also choosing a more circular option.
This block paving knife has a slimline head with a clever combination of shapes. A sharpened right angle edge scrapes along straight joints between pavers, while the fine hook lets you snag and lift out individual weeds and moss from awkward nooks and crannies. It is ideal for cleaning between bricks, slabs and cobbles, and for detailed work around steps and edges, all without resorting to chemical weed killers.
A tough powder coated finish in the distinctive BoronGreen colour helps to protect the steel from rust and keeps the tool looking smart season after season. The sharpened edges glide easily into soil and plant material, making the whole job feel smoother and less tiring. The handle is crafted from beautifully grained FSC certified white ash, sourced from responsibly managed forests, so you can feel confident about its environmental credentials as well as its comfort in the hand.
Thoughtful design details elevate this tool even further. At the end of the handle there is a dark wood inlay bearing the Burgon and Ball ampersand, a subtle design signature that makes the tool feel special every time you pick it up. A twisted paper hanging cord means it stores neatly on a hook in the shed, ready for your next patio tidy up.
Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, widely recognised as the ultimate mark of quality in the gardening world, the BoronGreen block paving knife comes with a reassuring twenty five year guarantee. At Allotmate Essentials we think it is an excellent choice for anyone who wants neat, safe, weed free paving with less effort, less plastic and no harsh chemicals.
We love any tool that makes a boring but necessary job feel quicker and more satisfying, and this BoronGreen block paving knife does just that. The head is narrow enough to slide between bricks and slabs without chipping the edges, and the little hook is brilliant for teasing out moss and tiny weeds that fingers simply cannot reach.
The fact that the steel uses a high proportion of recycled content and the handle is FSC certified ash fits perfectly with the way we like to garden at Allotmate Essentials, with quality tools that last rather than throwaway quick fixes. Add the RHS endorsement and twenty five year guarantee and you have a tool you can genuinely rely on year after year when you are getting patios and pathways ready for guests, pets or children. It is one of those smart little hand tools that quickly becomes a firm favourite in the trug.
