Keep the yard nice and tidy with these go to tools
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 :)
BLACK+DECKER Weed Eater String, 3-Pack, 30ft
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.
BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX String Trimmer w/ Extra Battery
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

Perfect for rose bushes and smaller tree branches

I use this to add sand and dirt to the lawns low spots and really helps when you are overseeding and want to start with a good base
Lawn Leveling Rake with Aluminum Rollers, 17x10
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
Sun Joe 12-Amp 13-Inch Electric Dethatcher
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
Heavy Duty Garden Leaf Rake, 65” Long, 25 Tines
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.
Sun Joe SJH902E 21in 4-Amp Telescoping Hedge Trimmer
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
Melnor XT Turbo Oscillating Sprinkler, 4,500 sq. ft.
Cute and FUNCTIONABLE. Puncture proof, washable, tons of fun colors to choose from

Weeders at Lowes.com
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

Watering essentials
Vevor went viral on TikTok with their options in 2025 and I used the J&B one at my own house, definately looking into the 100 ft. Vevor for the future
2 options that work really well from this company, ½ inch and 5/8 inch if you need better water pressure.

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
