The trench spade is 4" wide. the Drains Spade is 6" at the top and tapers down to 3.5" Radius Garden/American Lawn Mower Company **Q: So confusing, anyone know which one would be best for cutting tree roots less than 2inches in diameter from the lawn surface?** A: All Radius Garden Root Slayer implements (including "Nomad") are excellent for cutting any roots less than 2 inches in diameter from the lawn surface. A finesse cut can be accomplished by running the saw edges against the side of the root until the cut is made. The size, weight, and strength of the "facilitator" of the implement are important factors in achieving the desired result. The RG 22;811 should work very well in sensible hands. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/164059281-22811-drain-spade-for-trenching-and-landscaping-red](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/164059281-22811-drain-spade-for-trenching-and-landscaping-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
