Types of trowels

Trowels come in many shapes and sizes, each designed to make specific tasks easier. Here’s a quick look at the most common types:

Standard trowel

A standard trowel has two parts: a handle made of wood, metal, plastic, or fiberglass and a metal blade with a sharp edge for versatile use.

One-piece trowel

A one-piece trowel is cast from lightweight aluminum or metal alloys or forged from heavy-gauge steel for durability. The handle usually has a plastic grip for comfort, while the blade is often v-shaped for added strength.

Plastering trowels

Plastering trowels are essential for spreading and smoothing plaster or cement on walls and ceilings. Their wide, flat blades allow for quick coverage and a smooth, even finish, whether repairing cracks or finishing entire walls.

CRESTONE plastering tools include finishing trowels, corner trowels, flat trowels, margin trowels, bucket trowels, and complete trowel sets in stainless steel or plastic. We focus on providing durable, high-quality trowels to help you work efficiently and achieve professional results.

Each trowel in our range features a strong handle for comfort and control and comes in a variety of sizes and designs—from small corner trowels to large bucket trowels. If you need multiple options, our plastering trowel sets make it easy to have the right tool for every job.

Gardening trowels

Gardening trowels are small, lightweight tools commonly used in home gardens. They have a curved blade with a pointed tip, ideal for digging holes, planting flowers, or moving soil. Their compact size makes them easy to handle, especially in tight spaces like flowerpots or garden beds, saving time and effort when working with soil.

A typical gardening trowel has a narrow blade, 2–3 inches wide at the top and tapering to about 1 inch at the tip, with a length of up to 6 inches. Blade and handle sizes vary depending on the task—transplanting trowels feature extra-narrow blades, while multipurpose trowels come with wider ones.

Many gardening trowels also have depth-measuring lines on the blade, helping you plant bulbs, bedding plants, and seedlings at the correct depth with ease.

Masonry trowels

Masonry trowels are essential for bricklaying and stonework. With their flat, triangular blades, they spread mortar evenly between bricks or stones, ensuring strong, straight walls. Larger trowels handle bricklaying, while smaller ones are used for precise finishing tasks.

The two most common types of masonry trowels are the brick trowel and the pointing trowel:

A brick trowel is the primary tool for laying bricks. It allows you to scoop, spread, and smooth mortar while positioning bricks accurately. Built with durable steel blades, brick trowels can last for years with proper care. Their size and shape make it easy to handle large amounts of mortar efficiently, making bricklaying faster and more precise.
The pointing trowel is smaller and designed for finishing touches. It’s perfect for filling narrow gaps, leveling mortar in tight corners, and shaping brickwork details after the main structure is complete.

While both trowels look similar, the pointing trowel’s smaller size allows it to reach areas the brick trowel cannot, making it essential for fine finishing work.

How to choose the right trowel

Using the right trowel makes any job easier, faster, and more comfortable. Whether you’re planting flowers, laying bricks, or smoothing walls, the right tool helps you work more efficiently and achieve better results with less effort.

Choosing by project

For gardening

Consider what you’re planting and your soil type.

Narrow trowels are perfect for digging in tight spaces or planting bulbs.
Wider trowels work best for moving soil, scooping compost, or planting larger flowers.
For hard or rocky soil, choose a strong metal trowel for durability.
For light tasks or soft soil, a lightweight plastic or aluminum trowel is easier to handle.

For masonry

If you’re laying bricks or working with mortar, the trowel’s size and shape matter.

Use a larger trowel for quickly spreading mortar over large surfaces.
A smaller or pointed trowel is ideal for detail work, tight corners, or repairs.

Match the trowel size to your bricks for even mortar application and faster work. Choose steel or stainless steel for strength and long-lasting durability.

For plastering

Plastering requires a smooth, even finish, so choose the right blade carefully.

Wide, flat blades help cover more area quickly and evenly.
Flexible blades spread plaster smoothly, reducing lines and bumps.
Rounded corners prevent marks and help achieve a professional finish.
Ergonomic handles provide comfort during long plastering sessions.

Construction of the trowel

The material of the blade affects both performance and durability:

Hardened forged steel offers strength and reliability for heavy-duty work.
Stainless steel is rust-resistant, durable, and keeps a sharp edge longer.
Aluminum is lightweight, reducing fatigue during long tasks.
Plastic trowels provide a smooth finish for final coats but should not replace steel for the main work.
Carbon fiber is strong and lightweight, perfect for precision tasks.

For most professionals, stainless steel trowels are essential for the initial coats, while plastic trowels are great for achieving a flawless final finish.

Trowel handles

Handles are as important as the blade for comfort and control. Common materials include wood, fiberglass, metal, or rubber-coated plastic.

Ergonomic handles reduce strain and are shaped to fit the hand better.
Foam-padded or soft-grip handles improve comfort during extended use.
Larger diameter handles are available for people with weak grips or joint pain.
Some gardening trowels have long handles for working in deep beds or for gardeners with mobility issues.

Trowel size

The size of your trowel should match your project:

Large plastering trowels are best for covering wide areas quickly.
Smaller trowels work better for tight spaces, corners, or uneven surfaces.

An 11-inch trowel is recommended for beginners because it offers better control.
Long-handled trowels (2–3 feet) are available for gardeners who prefer standing while working. Houseplant trowels come with miniature blades for use in pots or container gardening.

Conclusion

Trowels may be simple, but they’re powerful tools essential for gardening, masonry, plastering, and countless other tasks. Their versatility and practical design make them indispensable for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. Modern trowels now feature ergonomic handles and lightweight materials, offering greater comfort and efficiency for every project.
