A Free Tool Loan Program for Fort Worth Residents!

Brought to you by the City of Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Tool Shed program is designed to help residents maintain their properties by offering free access to essential yard tools. The Mobile Tool Shed is now available city-wide to all Fort Worth residents!


What Is the 'Fort Worth Mobile Tool Shed'?

The FW Mobile Tool Shed is a City-funded initiative aimed at supporting local residents. Through this program, residents can borrow a variety of tools — absolutely free — to tackle yard work, home improvement projects and property maintenance. 

Tools available: 

  • Lawn Mowers 

  • Weed eaters

  • Edgers 

  • Loppers 

  • Blowers

  • Leaf Rakes

  • 96-gallon yard cart (NEW!)

  • Pressure washer (NEW!)

  • And more! 

These tools will be available for loan through our Fort Worth Mobile Tool Shed, a specially equipped trailer designed to bring the tools closer to you. 

(Disclaimer: Tool rentals from the Fort Worth Mobile Tool Shed do not exempt properties from City mowing or related charges if they have received an overgrown grass notice within the past 12 months. Grass must be kept under 12 inches in height to avoid contractor mowing and associated fees.)


The FREE program is here to make yard maintenance easier, more affordable and accessible to all residents. 

 

Where Can You Access the Tools? 

In October 2025, the City expanded the Mobile Tool Shed program beyond pilot neighborhoods. The program is now open to ALL Fort Worth residents city-wide.
