Reviewers Swear By These 8 Useful Things For Their Lawns

Unlike the heavy (and more expensive) electric lawn mowers on the market, the American Lawn push reel lawn mower is push-operated and ideal for smaller patches. It's also lightweight at only 19 pounds and incredibly compact the perfect solution for yards with limited storage space.

Promising review: "Love this little thing. We had an electric mower before this and it was such a pain to drag out the extension cord and ugh, needless to say the lawn got mowed as sparingly as possible. Now, well my lovely other half has become lawn obsessed. Because you literally just have to push this it takes zero prep or set up. You just push it. End of story. So anytime a shady corner or over watered spot gets a little longer he takes a few minutes out of his day and gives it a once or twice over with this and voila, perfect lawn." Kayla

Give your blooms the best with Miracle-Gro water soluble all purpose plant food , a formula that should be used every one to two weeks for vegetables, flowers, plants, trees, and roses.

My roses, petunias, pansies, rhodies, azaleas, just to name a few, are growing like WILD FIRE! Follow the instructions and you'll be glad you did! My lawn looks like a jungle of beautiful flowers!"

We think of theGiraffe Tools 100-foot garden hose as a Lamborghini (or your version of the best luxury car) of the lawn space, and that's because it's cleverly built with feature that outshine its competitors: think an abrasion-resistant yet lightweight and flexible design that's leak-proof and extra length to cover your entire yard.

Promising review: "Perfect solution for a water spigot mounted too low to the ground. A bucket would not fit under the water spigot on the front of our new house as it was only five inches above the concrete. This hose attachment solved the problem, and saves my back when watering plants as I don't have to bend over so far to fill the watering can. It's been outside every day, all year, and still looks brand new." ActiveChef

The Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard DLX broadcast spreader ensures you're spreading products (like the Miracle-Gro water soluble all purpose plant food listed above) evenly and consistently across large swatches of land. This holds up to 15,000 square feet's worth of products and can also be used to spread salt during cold winter months.

Promising review: "Bought this for my yard loving hubby. He previously used a handheld one and his arm would be tired by the time he made it all the way through our yard. He was so exited to receive this. We're adulting to the max over here. This makes the job so much easier. It was easy to assemble and is definitely easy to use!" LK

Take the back pain out of yard work by investing in the $45 Grampa's Weeder . This useful tool can quickly remove weeds like this: place the steel claw over the weed, press down on the footpad, lean the bamboo handle. And that's it. You're done. Rinse and repeat as needed.

Promising review: "I've been gardening for 20 years, why I why have I never heard of this product?! This is absolutely the best tool I've ever used for weeding. I detest chemicals and THIS is the tool for the job! There are broadleaf weeds that have longer roots than the tongs, but this still takes off a good 3-4" of roots. Can't expect more than that. This is by far the best gardening purchase I have ever made! It's sturdy, very well made, lightweight, affordable, so incredibly easy to use and efficient. NO more back breaking bending over for hours, this is a GAME CHANGER!" Dana

While folks initially purchase the Orbit 62061Z single-outlet hose watering timer with the intention of keeping their lawn watered while they're away on vacation, most end up using it well past their trip and that's because it tales the guesswork out of watering their lawn. Just set and forget.

Promising review: "I bought this for when we were going on vacation earlier this month. I had just planted a bunch of spring flowers and didn't want them to be dead when we got home. This thing works great! I put it on my sprinkler, set the time, and haven't had to mess with it since. My plants looked amazing when we got back from vacation! I've had it about three weeks and so far, so good. Now I can be a truly lazy gardener and not have to worry about watering my plants because it's done automatically! Love it!" NashvilleLady333

While we adore our our-legged friends, our lawn definitively does not and that's because their bathroom habits are sometimes reflected in sparse patches that never seem to grow along with the rest of the grass. Thankfully, the salt-neutralizing formula in Scotts EZSeed dog spot repair begins to repair damage in as little as four days while also neutralizing any odors.

Promising review: "Was skeptical when we purchased this for our lawn bald spot. We followed the procedures - scraped the soil top, spread the seeds, and watered it. We put the seeds on Sunday morning, and we were astonished to see the first grass shoots on Tuesday evening. It was amazing. And it's growing nicely now (been only four days). And this is in Texas weather, we hit 100+ on a couple of these days." Veeyun

The standout feature of the Lawn & Garden essential oscillating sprinkler ? We'd argue it's the heavy base that's designed to prevent this gadget from toppling over when faced with a bit of wind. A close runner-up is the built-in cleaning tool that ensures the nozzles won't get clogged.

Promising review: "Got this sprinkler to water the grass and so far its been amazing. The water pressure is more than I expected and it oscillates perfectly to cover all the areas. This is a very durable sprinkler." Megan S.
