1. A lawn repair formula to bring your dead grass back to life just in time for backyard gathering season! This helps regrow the grass and reverse scorch marks caused by pet urine, digging, and general wear in high-traffic areas.
Promising review: "I have used EZ Seed for years because I have dogs and they can be a little hard on grass! EZ Seed never fails us! Starts growing in about one and a half weeks. Nothing compares. It's pricey but worth it." —Nanci
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes and multi-packs).
2. A heavy-duty electric pressure washer with five nozzles so you can tackle any outdoor mess. It's perfect for cleaning walkways, dealing with filthy patio furniture, and rejuvenating wooden decks.
The five quick-connect nozzles range from intense jet to gentle spray, so you can tackle all kinds of messes such as mildew, tar, rust, grease, mud, etc. The pressure washer also comes with two detergent tanks, a garden hose adapter, a 20-foot high-pressure hose, and a 35-foot power cord. The Total Stop System trigger will automatically shut off the pump when the trigger is not engaged, which can help save energy and prolong pump life.
Promising review: "I am immensely pleased with my purchase. It has been superb so far. Installation was a breeze. Feels and looks like a quality product. Did a good job on my car. Water pressure was superb. Has multiple end nozzles for various jobs. I used the recommended end nozzle for washing my car, and it worked perfectly. I am certain this item would last an eternity, but only time will tell. Certainly a bang for the money spent on this pressure washer. I have absolutely zero regrets. Connectors did not leak as stated in reviews from other purchasers. Yes, it is easy to cross-thread the connectors if you don't ensure it is seated properly before screwing them on. I would highly recommend this product." —Eric
Get it from Amazon for $169.
3. An inflatable pool because as soon as the weather starts warming up, you'll want to take a dip. It doesn't take up as much space *or* require as much maintenance as a permanent pool. Reviewers also say it's quick and easy to inflate!
It's also got a bench and cup holders!
Promising review: "I have had this pool for about two weeks now and I LOVE IT!!! Was simple to set up, I got a little electric pump and it took about 10 minutes to inflate, then about half an hour to fill with water. Pay attention to make sure you set it up on level ground or it will be lopsided. I live in South Carolina so it is already hot and humid, and I use it about every afternoon. It is probably good for two adults, maybe one adult and a couple of kids. The built-in seat and headrest are really quite comfy and relaxing. I will definitely buy this same pool again if it springs a leak and can't be fixed, if I could give it 10 stars, I would. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!" —kathryn j.

Faircraft USA is a Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania-based Etsy shop run by a husband-and-wife duo creating beautiful and functional wooden home goods.
Promising review: "Purchased this as a gift for my brother to go with his corn hole boards. It is just as pictured. It seems like it'll be a little low to the ground for taller men standing around a corn hole board...but better than the beers sitting on the ground or in the off hand. Beautiful workmanship. Highly recommend this product and shop!" —Hayley
Get it from Faircraft USA on Etsy for $60.
5. A comfy raised dog bed for your furry friend who follows you outside whenever you're soaking up the gorgeous spring weather. It's washable, has non-slip rubber feet, and will keep your pup cool instead of them overheating on the pavement.

8. A corded electric lawn mower with a 10-gallon bag and discharge chute to keep your yard looking so lush and beautiful, you'll be the designated host for all upcoming block parties.
It comes with three cutting height positions; manufacturer’s warranty can be requested from customer service.
Promising review: "Honestly, very surprised that such an affordable lawn mower could accomplish so much. First time we've had an electric lawn mower, so it was pretty interesting. Gotta say, very convenient to not have to have a can of gas every time you need to do the lawn. We needed a 100-foot cord to do our yard, which is pretty small. You have to be careful to move it out of the way so you don't run it over, though, which I feel could be very easily done if you aren't mindful. Felt more like we were vacuuming the lawn, to be honest. I admit, we let our lawn go for a while, with weeks straight of rain, and it was very high and even had some small trees growing in it. Yet this small guy powered right through them with ease. Easy to store, too, as it's light and pretty compact, compared to others." —maisie
Get it from Amazon for $118.66.
9. And a long-handled standing weeder because having to bend over (and over...and over...) to pull pesky weeds should be illegal. Your lawn will be looking absolutely flawless in no time at all!
Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy.
Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

It’s very easy to install with no wrinkles and shows a great picture. I’ve attached pictures that show how well I can still see the picture despite being surrounded by 7,000 Christmas lights in close vicinity." —Hallie H.
Get it from Amazon for $25.16.

Note that this includes just the umbrella, not the table!
Promising review: "I normally don’t like buying products like this sight unseen, but I’m very pleased with the look and especially with the solar lighting.

These folding lounge chairs also come with utility trays you can easily snap on and off to hold drinks, a book, etc.
Promising review: "Absolutely love these chairs!! Bought them for our new pool and only went with one set until we decided if we liked them or not. Very comfy and love that we pulled them out of the box and enjoyed them right away. Very easy to recline and lock into position. The drink tray is easy to snap on and convenient to hold drinks, phone, book, etc. Like that they fold up very easily so that we can take them with us to a picnic or a game. Love them so much, I ordered two more!! Looking forward to comfy summer by the pool!!" —Amazon Customer

24. A waterproof portable Bluetooth speaker so you can play your fave tunes while you bask in the fresh spring air. You won't have to spend a fortune on a full audio system and a splash of water here or there won't damage it.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga had this to say: "I've had one of these portable lil' gadgets for two years now (I own the flip 4) and it hasn't failed me yet! The music is clear and crisp even when I'm using it outside at the windy beach. Definitely a fan — it does exactly what it should!"
Promising review: "This little speaker packs a real punch for its size. The sound quality on this speaker is very crisp and clear and the bass is quite deep. I've owned and tested many other speakers in its class and they can't compare. I've thrown it down a 50-foot staircase onto asphalt and no problem occurred. I've dunked it in water on multiple occasions and nothing happened. The battery life of this thing is also kind of amazing! But I've got to tell you that this speaker has its limits due to its size. It gets the best quality use in small/medium sized rooms or small outdoor living spaces. Something this size has its limits. Besides that I highly recommend this speaker if you're trying to make your final decision." —Beckett K.
Get it from Amazon for $89.95 (available in nine styles).

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+ (available in three sizes).

This swinging hammock chair comes with two cushions and installation hardware.
Promising review: "Back to basics — simple, chic, and comfortable. Perfect addition for the backyard, porch, anywhere you'd like to lounge. There were no installation directions, but they do provide a number of options to work with based on your needs." —afytasuki
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in five colors).
27. Or, a double cotton hammock when hanging isn't an option — this comes with a sturdy steel stand that does the heavy lifting for you.
Plus, the stand is easy to assemble, disassemble and pack up in the included carrying case for storage or travel.
Promising review: "Features to love: The cotton fabric is sturdy and breathable. I never feel stuck to it the way I do in a nylon hammock. The set up/take down is super easy and the frame is very sturdy — we have definitely put 300+ pounds in it. The ability to raise and lower the hammock with the multiple hook positions might be the best feature. I have bad knees and like to get into the hammock from a higher position... no problem. My kids like it lower so they can reach the ground to swing it... no problem. It works great as a traditional hammock to lay in. It works as a 'swing' to sit on. It has enough fabric that you can cover up if you're cold or want to block out light or bugs. We have accidentally left it out in the rain several times and it dries great, hasn't faded from the sun, hasn't had any mold, and hasn't developed any weird smell.
Things not to love: Nothing! This is a great hammock. It may not be as portable as those little nylon hammocks but if this is for your yard and not for camping, this is hard to beat." —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $94.99+ (available in four fabric types and 39 colors).

Get it from Amazon for $139+ (available with or without a cover).
29. And a pair of magnetic grill lights because who said you can't indulge in burgers and hot dogs after dark? This will ~light up~ the grill so you can see what you're doing.
Promising review: "I used these for the first time the other night and they were exactly what I wanted. I often tend to grill after dark and I can’t see what’s on the grill, but not anymore. These light up the entire grill surface area perfectly. Would definitely buy again." —Flossie DeGrave
Get a pair from Amazon for $22.29.
30. And don't forget the grill cleaner that'll help you prepare for grilling season, especially if you neglected to clean it when the previous season ended. All you have to do is spray, wait three minutes, and wipe away the stains.

It loosens the debris off the grates easily and comes off easily. I like easy practical cleaning without the need to spend much time scrubbing. Try it, you will not regret it." —Fmcasado

Promising review: "I have this bug zapper on my back deck as well as another by the front door. Now that we have these out, we can be outside without getting bitten. No more bugs flying in the front door as soon as it's opened! And it's easy to clean: remove the bottom lid (it will be full of dead bugs!) and use the included brush to clean the grid.

Get it from Amazon for $33.99.
33. Solar-powered, motion sensor-activated lights so you and your guests don't stumble or trip on the walk from the patio to the bathroom.
Promising review: "I purchased these to cover the side of my house. Installation was easy and I left them outside for two days to charge.

I appreciate the texture and the quality of the manufacturer. There are cheaper options out there but I feel like these were worth what I paid. I will easily transition these indoors when the weather turns cold." —Siri
Get them from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in five sizes and 10 colors/styles).
36. A set of colorful flower pots that are probably an accurate depiction of how happy you are that winter is finally over. Hang 'em on a fence or over your balcony railing!
Promising review: "I love these. They look great on my little patio. They are very well made and super easy to put together. They drain well and hold a fair amount of flowers and soil for the size.

37. And some whimsical light-up flowers to add just the right amount of "spring has sprung!" vibes to your backyard.
Promising review: "The pictures don't do these justice. At night my backyard looks like a scene from Avatar. The light itself is not bright, but the colors are very vibrant and intense. The color transition is gradual and glowing. They are hypnotic to watch. During the day they are unobtrusive and don't look too fake or artificial. The green leaves are very bendable, the stems of the flowers are somewhat pliable, and the cloth that makes up the petals can be smoothed and manipulated a bit so you can make them look different and more realistic. I've had them for a couple of weeks and so far they are performing perfectly. They are simply beautiful and we love them!" —Zavanna
Get eight flowers (between two bunches) from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two color sets).
