Keep extra line on hand because once you get started trimming and everything is all neat and lined up you wont be able to stand it when it's not :)

I've had this trimmer for 5 years and it's still going strong!  I love that it goes from weed Wacker to edger with just a twist of the handle. The string is easy to replace, and this is lightweight with a 20V batter so NO CORDS.

GOT LEAVES - tackle them with this mulcher/blower.  This mulches up leaves for disposable or great for compost bins.  This is so powerful it will also suck up dirt and sand.  FLip the lever to blow dirt leaves and debris from the walkways or driveways - hands down my #1 must have lawn tool that I cannot live without

This was recommended to me 4 years ago to dethatch and scarify the yard to allow nutrients pesticides to get into the soil and work their magic - amazing how compact the soil gets.  This will remove the dead brown grass and allow new growth

I love the long handle and strong but flexible rake “fingers” which makes quick work getting the gunk out of the lawn or flower beds

This is on my want list to get the large tree limbs down before they ruin the roof or get in the wires.  I love my other Sun Joe item so I believe in this brand.

Expandable hoses are the way to go - they cut down on the weight of the hose and offer easy wind up and space saving design.  I needed a large 100 ft hose and bonus that it came with a spray nozzle

By far my favorite adjustable sprinkler, and I've been through a ton of them.  I love that I don't have to put rocks or weights on this one to stay in place it's just the correct weight and height so that it doesn't flop around once the water pressure is turned on and you easily adjusts for small or large areas

I bought this to keep the trees maintained off the house and from any wires running from the street to the yard I was really happy at the ease of this. Dont forget the bar and chain oil as that comes seperately

I buy all my shovels at home depot - I specifically like this one to cut through soil when I'm planting as it helps break up any smaller roots/vines in the area
