True, you can prevent back pain by lifting with your legs, not your back. However, you can easily haul heavy tools and materials with a garden utility cart. This essential gardener’s tool is also handy for lugging sports equipment, picnic bundles, and beach-day essentials. We researched the top garden utility carts to help you decide which one is best for your family.

A garden utility cart has three basic parts: all-terrain wheels, pull handle, and reinforced platform. Some garden utility carts feature an open design with no walls, but most are built with a framed cover to hold various items.
