NB Tool Shed lets eligible residents borrow yard-maintenance equipment

New Braunfels residents inside city limits can borrow yard-maintenance equipment through NB Tool Shed, a free program launched in June to help with property upkeep.

The city lists lawnmowers, weed trimmers, leaf blowers, pressure washers, hedge trimmers, extension cords and manual pole saws among the available equipment. Tools are fueled before checkout.

The process begins with an online profile and required forms, followed by a reservation. The published schedule calls for Friday pickup and Monday return.

Eligibility depends on being inside municipal boundaries. A New Braunfels postal address alone does not establish residency for the program, and the city links to a map for checking an address.

Before arranging a weekend project, confirm equipment availability and the current checkout requirements through the program portal. Reserving the right tool in advance is essential; the announcement does not guarantee that every item will be available on every weekend.
