Our Favorite Gifts for Yard Lovers

Below is a list of our top gifts, ranging from budget-friendly options to splurge-worthy premium options.

1. Toro Flex-Force 60V MAX Cordless Leaf Blower

Cordless leaf blowers take the work out of cleaning up the leaves, sticks, and even cut grass, making it easy to gather lawn debris into one place for simple disposal. As our top pick in our guide to the best cordless leaf blowers, this beauty from Toro can operate for up to 120 minutes, and it comes equipped with a slip-resistant overmold handle for enhanced comfort and control while you work. 

What our tester says: “The massive air-moving ability of this tool allowed me to do the same amount of work in as little as half the time as it would have taken with a lightweight leaf blower.” —Mark Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer

2. Echo PE-225 Curved-Shaft Gas Lawn Edger

Keeping the edge of the grass neat and crisp gives the entire yard a manicured look. Aside from looking great, this also helps prevent weeds and grass from spreading to your pavers. Our top pick in our guide on the best lawn edgers, the Echo PE-225 has a powerful 21.2cc 2-stroke cycle engine for faster, cleaner cuts, and it comes with a spring-assisted starting system to help reduce pull-start difficulties. 

What our tester says: “The curved-shaft design of this gas edger makes it easy to maneuver along curbs, driveways, patios, and landscape beds. That curve, plus the fact that it only weighs about 13 pounds, made it one of the most efficient and comfortable edgers we tested.”—Mark Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer

3. Lymow One Robotic Mower

With a 16-inch cutting deck and dual 8-inch mulching blades, the Lymow One Robotic Mower efficiently tackles lawns with minimal setup and maintenance required. It includes a heavy-duty die-cast aluminum alloy frame and a lithium iron phosphate battery, allowing it to outlast many other popular options. Take advantage of the five ultrasonic sensors and AI-powered vision systems for enhanced obstacle avoidance, making it easy to take a set-it-and-forget-it approach to lawn maintenance.  

What our tester says: “The Lymow One is a mower for those who enjoy tinkering, participating in the development of new products, and reaping the rewards of early adoption. The platform is very promising, and with continued development, the Lymow One should be one of the more robust, reliable robotic lawnmowers for large yards.”—Mark Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer

4. Westinghouse WPX2700 Pressure Washer

Clean the driveway, walkway, patio, deck, fence, and more with this Westinghouse gas-powered pressure washer. Crowned as our favorite power washer in our tested guide, the WPX2700 features a built-in detergent tank and boasts a 1-gallon-capacity gas tank for extended periods of use. You also get four quick-connect nozzles and a 25-foot abrasion-resistant hose, as well as large plastic wheels that make it easy to move the pressure washer across flat or uneven terrain. 

 What our tester says: “This gas-powered washer delivers ample water pressure for cleaning stains from the driveway, but not so much as to risk damaging a car’s paint job. It has strong water pressure, a good flow rate, and up to 2.3 GPM for 2,700 PSI, so it is suitable for most tough outdoor cleaning chores, from washing mold stains off concrete on the highest setting to cleaning windows on the lowest setting.”—Mark Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer

5. Echo eForce DPPF-2100 56V Power Pruner

Clean up your trees, bushes, and shrubbery with the Echo eForce Power Pruner, our favorite pole saw in our hands-on tests. This impressive pole saw has a 10-inch guide bar, a two-speed brushless motor, and is long enough for most users to reach branches up to 12 feet off the ground, so you don’t need to be climbing ladders to maintain the yard. With the battery-powered design, this pole saw makes it easier to cut branches that are out of reach, so you can focus on trimming small to medium-size branches, rather than worrying about a cord. 

What our tester says: “The eForce is a versatile pole saw, suitable for everything from cultivating a backyard orchard to performing regular pruning and general maintenance on a yard surrounded by encroaching trees. I cut more than 50 branches between 4 and 6 inches thick during testing, and the battery still showed a 50 percent charge afterward.”—Mark Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer

6. Toro 60V MAX 22″ Recycler Personal Pace Lawn Mower

Both quiet and convenient, this battery-powered Toro lawn mower is an ideal option for keeping small to medium-size yards well-manicured. The self-propelled lawn mower automatically adjusts to the operator’s pace using the pressure-sensitive handle, so you are never forced to walk too fast or too slow while you work. It took top honors in our article on the best lawn mowers for small yards, so we’re big fans of it. Use it to take on flat spaces, slopes, and rough ground with ease, all while the 3-phase brushless motor powers the cutting blades for a neatly trimmed lawn. 

What our tester says: “The deep, well-ventilated mowing deck uplifted tall grass blades for a crisp level cut, while the motor automatically boosted output for heavier cutting conditions with no lag time. The result was a perfect lawn at a faster walking pace with no need to double cut. For most small lawns, we really see no reason to continue shopping. This mower was excellent by any measure.”—Mark Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer

7. Husqvarna 450 Rancher 20″ Gas Chainsaw

Whether you’re cutting down trees, trimming large branches, or simply cutting up firewood, the Husqvarna 450 Rancher Chainsaw is an excellent option. Winner of our best chainsaws rankings, it boasts a 50.2 cc engine that is easy to start and warm up, while the 20-inch bar is ideal for working in the woods and dropping trees. The gas-powered design gives this chainsaw the necessary power to handle larger trees, while the consistently smooth cutting force helps prevent kickbacks while you work. 

What our tester says: “I found that this saw feels pretty mellow in the hand. It has little vibration and is easy to control. If you have a property that requires regular tree work or you spend time working in the woods, this is a great chainsaw to use. It’s reliable and hardworking. I managed to put up a cord of wood in pretty fast order with the Rancher and did plenty of camp cutting as well.”—Zach Lazzari, Product Reviews tester and writer

8. Natural Elements Weed Killer

Stubborn weeds can quickly take over your yard if you aren’t quick to pull them or treat them with a suitable weed killer. However, if you have pets, you need to be more selective with the type of weed killer you use in the yard. This formula from Natural Elements was our favorite pet-safe weed-killing spray among a bunch of other great options. It’s nontoxic and organic, so you can be sure it won’t harm your pets. After applying it, the weed killer will start to work within 24 hours, and is especially effective on crabgrass, chickweed, dandelions, and thistles. 

What our tester says: “I expected the Natural Elements weed killer to work well, but I was surprised by how quickly it took effect. The grass and weeds were yellowing within a few hours, and they were brown within 24 hours.”—Stacey L. Nash, Product Reviews tester and writer

9. Teknor Apex Zero-G Lightweight Garden Hose

Keep your lawn and garden green and healthy with the Teknor Apex Zero-G garden hose, our top pick for lightweight garden hoses in this year’s guide. Made with kink-resistant technology, it allows water to flow steadily even when it is twisted or looped. It features a tough, abrasion-resistant outer cover to protect it from damage, and it balances functionality with ease of use to make it a great pick for anyone looking for both efficiency and comfort while they work in the yard. 

What our tester says: “The Teknor Apex Zero-G has an ultra-lightweight design and exceptional durability. Weighing just a fraction of traditional hoses, the Apex Zero-G maneuvers easily around gardens and patios, significantly reducing strain on the arms and back.”—Debbie Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer

10. Melnor 65083-AMZ Multi-Adjustable Sprinkler

Instead of investing in a built-in irrigation system to water the garden, plants, and flowers, you can simply set up these no-fuss Melnor multi-adjustable spike sprinklers. One of our top contenders in our lawn sprinkler roundup, this system comes with three spike sprinklers and three 5-inch risers to elevate the sprinklers as needed. Each sprinkler features an adjustable head, allowing you to choose from a small, targeted stream of water to a 360-degree circular pattern. Additionally, the sprinklers feature both male and female hose attachment ends, allowing all three to be connected with hoses.

What our tester says: “We found the plastic spikes to be well built and solid—they pushed easily into the ground, and we could adjust the spray on all three to where it watered our plants perfectly. Those with large or complex garden spots could save a lot of watering time by connecting two or more of these spike sets, eliminating the need to move a sprinkler around constantly.”—Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer
