Keyfit Tools Land Staker 2.0 Tree Fertilizer Spike Driver 12" Deep Pilot Hole • Forged 4140 Steel, Durable Blades

Keyfit Tools Land Staker 2.0 is a heavy-duty steel pilot-hole driver that lets you push fertilizer spikes or poured granular fertilizer up to 12 inches deeper to reach feeder roots without bending or breaking the stake.

If you want a durable, repeatable way to deliver nutrients directly to the root zone for evergreens, citrus, palms and shrubs, the Land Staker 2.0 provides a controlled pilot hole that prevents surface burn, reduces messy runoff, and avoids bent or snapped spikes. Built in the U.S.A., this tool accepts common brands of tree and shrub spikes or lets you pour your own blend into the hole for custom feeding. Note: the Land Staker is sold as the driver only and does not include fertilizer spikes or a hammer.

How does the Land Staker 2.0 protect turf and reduce fertilizer runoff?

The tool creates a deep, narrow opening so fertilizer is placed at the feeder-root depth rather than sitting on the lawn surface. That keeps granules from contacting grass blades and producing burned spots or uneven dark-green rings. Deeper placement also minimizes surface runoff during watering or rain.

• Creates a deep pilot hole to position nutrients below turf level
• Prevents surface contact that causes browning or scorched grass
• Reduces fertilizer wash-off and nutrient loss

Can I use my own granular fertilizer or only branded spikes?

The Land Staker 2.0 works with branded fertilizer spikes like Jobe's and Miracle-Gro and also with custom granular mixes. You can pour a measured amount directly into the pilot hole for tailored feeding rates and nutrient blends that suit specific trees or soil conditions.

• Compatible with most commercial spike brands
• Accepts poured granular fertilizer for custom blends
• Delivers product precisely to feeder roots for efficient uptake

What makes the Land Staker stronger than other spike drivers?

Keyfit Tools engineered the driver with a forged 4140 round .25" strike plate and smooth, four-way straight blades. Those components resist bending and twisting under repeated blows and allow easy extraction without catching dirt or roots. Notched designs can create weak points; this driver’s continuous blades are built for longevity.

• Forged 4140 strike plate resists deformation from hammer impacts
• Four straight blades minimize soil adhesion and ease removal
• Durable construction reduces risk of broken spikes and tool failure

What other tasks can the Land Staker perform in a landscape?

Beyond fertilizer placement, the tool functions as a multi-purpose pilot hole driver for light landscaping tasks. It speeds installation of landscape lighting stakes, tiki torches, wood stakes, and certain plant bulbs, so you carry one tool for several repetitive jobs.

• Drives pilot holes for landscape lights and wood stakes
• Assists with tiki torch and plant bulb placement
• Saves time compared with hand-digging or awkward pounding

Who this is for: gardeners, arborists, property managers, and homeowners who want accurate nutrient placement for trees and shrubs without damaging turf or dealing with bent spikes. If you use commercial fertilizer spikes or prefer your own granular mixes and need a rugged, long-lasting driver that withstands heavy use, the Keyfit Tools Land Staker 2.0 is built to make repeated deep feedings faster and more reliable. Remember the product is the driver only — purchase spikes or granular fertilizer separately to complete your root feeding routine.
