Plow & Hearth Garden Broom Outdoor

If you have never used one of these broom on concrete or stone. Then you don’t know how great they are. Those old corn broom don’t even come close. This thing is like magic on any outside surface including patio rugs. My first one ever I got as a house warming gift 7 years ago. I finally through it out this year. It did such a good job and lasted so long that I had to find another. They were nowhere to be found in local stores. So I came here. I was feeling sceptical as the picture doesn’t do it justice. But when it arrived I was happy to see it looks like my original and it does the same great job. Here’s hoping that it has the same longevity. The only negative is all the packaging. But then again, that’s what Amazon is famous for, way too much packaging.

• This is the third broom we’ve had over the course of about seven years. Very durable, even when the bristles wear through use over two/three years • Effective at sweeping leaves off gravel, without the gravel being brushed into the collected pile of leaves. • Good value for money

This is a great broom! It is ideal for sweeping leaves, twigs & brush. The thick bristles grip the brush and dirt, move it and let go with without magnetically attracting it the way plastic bristles do. The natural wood colors in this broom look great and "go with" outdoor and covered porch settings so you can keep them handy without uglifying your environment like the plastic broom colors and textures do (bright white, unnatural bright green, red and black). My only criticism is that the broom cannot be hung on a hook, so when set aside it must be leaved against a wall so its weight rests on the bristles. I fixed that by drilling a hole through the pole a couple of inches from the end, then running in a loop of heavy twine. Now it hangs neatly off the ground from a brass hook.

Excellent broom works better than the corn broom. Thanks

I use it sweeping up all the leaves in my garden, so easy to use. This is my second one.
