A wheelbarrow is often all you need to transport light loads across your lawn or yard. However, for heavier materials, it helps to have something more robust, like a utility trailer or a dump cart. One of the highlights of utility trailers is that they have two wheels, as opposed to many wheelbarrows that have a single wheel. This makes navigation easier, and the added stability the wheels provide helps you use them to haul goods uphill or downhill. Additionally, because they can usually be attached to a lawn mover for quick transportation, they're a pretty substantial step up from a regular wheelbarrow, which needs to be manually operated and requires you to exert quite a bit of physical effort.
