1. A lawn repair formula of mulch, seeds, and soil amendments to help reverse pet-induced damage. Reviewers are raving about their results!
Promising review: "I have lacrosse players and dogs and this stuff is amazing. My yard looked like an abandoned lot before this and it literally 'grew anywhere' just like it said. The bag I planted last year actually came back strong this year so I put more down and it is working like a dream!" —chchmom
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five sizes and four styles).
2. A miracle-working power washer so you can wash away the debris on your driveway, fence, and home exterior and restore it to its original glory.
3. A large garden dustpan because you've gotta put all those leaves somewhere once you've raked them up. This will be much easier than struggling with a trash bag.
Promising review: "As large as I hoped, allowing me to fill them with leaves and press the leaves down several times, to move a LARGE amount of leaves in one go. Two different straps are placed so the full bag is easy to carry. Flat side of the opening DOES stay close to the ground, allowing easy 'sweep' of the rake to move leaves into the plenty-wide opening. Might be my most-loved leaf processing tool this fall, because I save and chip all my leaves.
I also ordered the Bully Tool 1000 Poly Leaf Scoop, which works perfectly to press/compact the leaves in the bag." —June S.

4. And a durable rake that'll stand up against the toughest lawn messes. The grip turns tacky when wet so it won't slip out of your hands when you start to sweat 🥵.
Promising review: "I had a feeling this rake was going to be special and, it is.
Bought it as a thatch rake, which it does amazingly well and discovered so many other uses for it. We have several old apple trees and the yard and driveway become covered with apples that drop from them. They are difficult to rake and must be done every few days to keep up. This rake has saved me so much time and work, it gathers and picks up so well and has flexibility so cleaning around the thick tree roots is no problem." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $44.99.
5. A hand weeder for those with small gardens who don't need anything too big. This'll get the job done for under $20.
Promising review: "I hate me some weeds folks. Hate is a bit of an understatement. This little gadget has been my sidekick this year. I have pulled a lot of stuff from the ground with this baby. I'm happy with my purchase and it has held the test of time in my yard that can't catch a break from the rain." —CH
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
6. A green wheelbarrow that can hold up to 200 pounds of dirt. Believe me, you'll appreciate its weight capacity once you start landscaping.
Promising review: "This cart is something I bought to help me with garden cleanup — something to carry pulled weeds, leaves and small sticks to a central location for dumping. I also use it to carry dirt or mulch bags. I also can use it for carrying potted plants to and from various locations. It's great to be able to pull the wagon instead of having to carry heavy bags or things that spill out of your arms. I tried to assemble it myself but did need some assistance. It took about two hours to put together. Granted, somebody who is more adept at putting things together probably could do it faster. I wished that I could buy it somewhere local and already assembled. However, that wasn't an option. So, this was fine. Luckily we did have all the washers and nuts that came with it (some folks have said they were missing items). The only thing that I don't like was that the handle was so stiff that it made pulling it and turning it difficult. I used some WD30 spray on it and that helped. I may have to loosen the parts that hold this together as it's still a bit tight. Overall, I'm pleased. It works for what I wanted. I feel that it's pretty stable. The handle is strong and the tires are good. So, what's not to like? It does the job." —Sophie Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in two colors).
7. A leaf blower/vacuum, complete with a built-in mulcher, to clear out debris! It features an angled snout so you can get underneath all the outdoor furniture.
It can actually chop up 16 bags of leaves so they fit into just one bag!
Promising review: "I have two very large red oak trees in my yard and they tend to dump a lot of leaves all over my yard and my neighbor's yard. Before this arrived, I blew them into a pile awaiting the shipment so I could mulch them up. I previously had a mulching attachment for my line trimmer and it wasn't that great, but it did the job. In comparison, this was far better. It had rained the morning before I tried this out, so the leaves were wet, which made the work a little slower than with dry leaves, but it still worked. It did get bogged down one time, but I was overfilling the bag when it happened, so it was partly my fault. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a mulching vac." —Matt Hamilton
Get it from Amazon for $66.
8. A handy hose holder to keep the cords organized and out of the way.
Promising review: "We bought this to organize our pressure washer hose that we have hooked up in the garage when we aren't using it. It keeps the hose out of the way and isn't an eye sore. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to keep things tightly and neat." —Sharie L DeRousse
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in thee sizes and a two-pack).
9. An outdoor garbage can because it's functional, cute, and makes keeping your landscape clean easier than ever.
10. A pair of breathable gardening gloves so you won't chip your freshly manicured nails as you play around in dirt.
Promising review: "Snug fit, very dextrous. I feel very protected from wet soil and yard debris (probably not thorns — haven't pushed it). I really love these gloves for gardening and even for light construction, like sanding wood. Its grip is really good and helps me get my hands dirty when I don't really feel like it. No need for a nail brush after gardening with these gloves." —Delayed Gratification
Get them from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in sizes S–XL).
11. A programmable timer takes the struggle out of getting your garden on a consistent watering schedule so everything looks uniform.
Reviewers mention it's worth using this product with a water hammer arrester.
Promising review: "This works like a charm, it's easy to program the battery lasts a long time the product is very durable meaning it's been outside for over 6 months through rain and 100-degree weather and still works perfectly. If you need to set up an irrigation line and don't have a full controller like I do in my backyard this is an excellent option. I was able to set up a nice drip system to water all the plants in my backyard. This thing comes on every day when it's supposed to turns off when it's supposed to and I've had no issues. I would recommend using some sort of backflow prevention device so that the irrigation water does not flow back in to your main water supply in certain situations this can happen. I highly recommend this product." —Censored by Jeff
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in a variety of sizes).
12. A basic sturdy tool set because even when you're tired, you've just gotta keep digging. Make pruning, weeding, and loosening soil smoother than ever with these durable tools.
Promising review: "Purchased these since several other brands/types that I've used over the years just bend when any pressure from digging is done. If you want something that can dig in regular soil rather than potting blend, these are for you." —Joe in MO
Get it from Amazon for $19.80 (available in three designs).
13. A seeding square kit shows exactly where to sow your seeds in case you've forgotten by the time they bloom. I bet the Queen of Hearts uses some of these for her rose garden.
It also comes with a measuring stick called a dibbler that pushes down the dirt to the correct depth for you to drop your seeds. The holes are color coded to let you know exactly where to plant seeds of different varieties.
Promising review: "Love this thing! I have been gardening for a while and this takes all of the guess work out of spacing. I used this for the first time this spring using the planting chart/guide and it has worked out perfectly. I have had little to no weeds (I mean come on, you're gonna get some weeds). Planting per the Seed Square will for the most part choke out the weeds, while promoting growth for the plants. I even used this to plant growing plants and not just seeds. Just put the square on the ground used the stick to mark the spot and dug a hole where it was marked. Simple enough. Would highly recommend. Super easy!" —Jennifer Geisel
Get it from Amazon for $29.95.
14. A garden shed to store tools like shovels, brooms, electric blowers, and mowers. Plus they can protect your trash cans from nightly visitors who may knock them over. Alternatively, it can also be used as a shelter for your welcome furry friends.
Promising review: "Good quality. Easy to assemble. Parts are individually bagged and labeled. Holds two 32-gallon round barrels — which is what I wanted it for. Very compact, which was a factor for where i had to put it." —Joe in Brooklyn
Get it from Amazon for $318.98. Also check out a similar shed in several sizes to find the right one to fit your space and needs.
15. An effective outdoor cleaner to give your driveway, patio, or walkway a huge facelift. This works wonders on cement and stone for a reasonable price.
Promising review: "I first used this product about two years ago on the awning on my RV. That awning was so bad, that I thought I was going to have to replace it. After using this Scott's product as directed, the mold and mildew completely disappeared. This product definitely works and it works GREAT! What more can I say — it saved me nearly $500." —R. Latreille
Get it from Amazon for $10.98.
16. A six-tier bamboo plant stand that's just itching to be placed on a patio or near a rocking chair outside. Fitting over seven plants on your balcony at a time has never been neater.
Promising review: "The shelf is amazing for the price!! It's very cute, adds style and functionality to a room. It’s super easy to put together, took me 20 minutes or less and all supplies/tools are included. The only *possible* drawback is sturdiness, because it is a little tall and could get top heavy possibly. I opted to put smaller plants on top and heavier plants on the bottom for that reason. Overall, 100% worth it, would buy it again. Probably will." —chelsey sample
Get it from Amazon $39.99 (available in two sizes).
17. And a pair of pruners to propagate your babies or snip off dying leaves. Having overgrown foliage may not be the look you're going for. Cut those vines back and create new plants with the cuttings.
I use these pretty much every day, they're great. I have no complaints. Plus, it's really cool to see how plants regenerate after they're pruned.
Promising review: "These are perfect! I've had these for over a week and have already used them nearly every day. They get right into tiny or close spots and snip stems right off, they work great for deadheading or cutting flowers including roses, petunias, pansies, dianthus pinks, vinca, coreopsis, whatever! They actually make deadheading flowers and plants fun because it's so easy! Plus they are small and light so they don't hurt or tire my hands. I can easily open and close the lock with one hand so I can quickly snip, snip, snip away! I think I may buy a second pair because they are so handy. The only thing I wish is that they had a cap because they easily fit right in my pocket but that end is super pointy, I'm surprised I haven't poked or scratched myself on them yet lol. *One-month update* I still LOVE these clippers! They have been used almost daily to deadhead my flowers and my flowers show their happiness at that! I really don’t know how I got by without them before and I find it to be very relaxing to use these each evening to clean up my plants. I find myself almost disappointed if I can’t find anything to snip off LOL. If you have flowers, herbs or other plants you need these!!" —Laurilee5
