An oasis so gorgeous you'll want to lay out all day.
1. A *no experience required* soil test kit with four test tubes and easy-to-follow instructions so you can identify what issue is preventing your lawn from looking its best.
Lowe's
Promising review: "I don't have a green thumb by any means, but I needed to learn about the health of my soil. I think this was the best fit for me. The directions made it easy to use and understand. It comes with plenty of tests. At the end of the day, I learned what my soil was missing. I added the nutrients and so far, the grass and plants are growing a lot better." —MikeG
Price: $14.98
2. A cordless self-propelled lawn mower that comes with a rechargeable battery so you can vibe around your lawn while jamming to your favorite tunes without being interrupted by an annoying cord.
Lowe's
Promising review: "I have only owned and used this mower a few weeks, but so far, I like everything about it. The mower is quiet, easy to use, and easy to clean up. You can easily switch between power mow for less effort and manual mow for more precision." —L Keith Jordan
Price: $699 (originally $749)
3. A handheld leaf blower because although it's not YOUR tree, the leaves keep falling over your lawn and we can't have that anymore.
Lowe's
**Note: this model does not include a battery or charger.**
Promising review: "Let me tell you about this leaf blower I recently got my hands on — it's like a hurricane in your backyard, in the best way possible! Not only does it pack a powerful punch, but its battery life lasts for ages, so you can get all of your yard work done without having to stop and recharge. One of the things that really impressed me about this leaf blower is how lightweight and well-made it is. It's clear that the manufacturers put a lot of thought and care into the design because everything feels sturdy and well-balanced in your hand. It's easy to maneuver and doesn't leave your arms feeling exhausted after a few minutes of use. Now, I know that some people might be hesitant to spend a bit more money on a 56v leaf blower like this one, but let me tell you — it's worth every penny. You won't regret investing in a leaf blower that works this well and is built to last. Trust me, you'll never want to go back to using anything less powerful. All in all, I'm really impressed with this leaf blower. It's exceeded all of my expectations and has made yard work a breeze. If you're in the market for a new leaf blower, I highly recommend giving this one a try. You won't be disappointed!" —AckAck
Price: $149
4. A patch and repair kit combined with mulch, seed, and fertilizer that'll have your grass growing faster than Jack's Beanstalk in the sun or in the shade.
Lowe's
Promising reviews: "So easy to use...placed some fresh dirt prior to sprinkling and within 2 days and grass was growing." —Noni
"Literally magic in the bag, like Jack and the Beanstalk. The moment you spread the seeds and it doesn’t matter whether it’s in the sun or shade; you will literally see grass within the next day. Will definitely buy another bag soon." —Reese
Price: $23.48+(available in various coverage areas and weights)
5. A rain gauge so you can monitor how much water your lawn is receiving and adjust to give it more or less. Goodbye dead and soggy grass!
6. A pack of solar outdoor path lights here to illuminate your pathway and decorate your lawn with adorable starburst patterns.
7. Or some garden torches in case your heart's desire is to have a flame-lit pathway to walk through in your very own backyard. Bonus that it includes citronella to help with pesky bugs.
8. A lawn insect control you can connect to the end of your hose to spray your lawn and rid it of ants, ticks, mosquitoes, fleas, spiders, hornets, scorpions, beetles, periodical cicadas, and other insects.
Lowe's
Promising review: "It was very easy to turn on and off. A little bit covered my 40 x 50–foot lawn. It killed all of the tiny grasshoppers overnight! And there were many!" —cheffer 75
Price: $11.98
9. A five-reel lawn mower that's a great option for people who maybe don't have the arm strength to push a full electric mower but still want to have nice grass!
Lowe's
Promising review: "My grass has weeds throughout and I like that this lawn mower gets the majority of them. I wasn't in love with the bag attachment but my yard is a little bumpy so it just didn't stay put. Definitely worth it!" —Happy Customer
Price: $98
10. A large artificial rock you can use to cover the well pumps as to not disturb the aesthetic vibes of your green paradise.
Lowe's
Promising review: "I wanted a fake rock to hide my well casing. It fits the bill. It's a pretty realistic-looking fake rock, and it received a passing grade from my wife. The spikes that hold it down could be a bit longer, but it shouldn't fly very far if the wind gets a hold of it. All in all, it does what it's supposed to do." —RBB33
Price: $82.98
11. A fast-acting lime to raise the pH balance of your soil and help your lawn absorb nutrients.
Lowe's
Promising review: "I usually use a less expensive brand of lime and decided to use this fast-acting lime on a whim. It worked so well that I will use this instead of the cheaper product from now on. My wife didn't know I put lime down. Within 2 days she noticed the grass was greener on our side of the fence." —Matt
Price: $7.98+(available in two sizes)
12. A rustic planter for adding a little cherry on the top of your vibrant and green lawn. You can place it on the outskirts of your lawn or close to your front door to guide visitors to the entrance.
Lowe's
Promising reviews: "This item looks like an old-fashioned whisky barrel. It has a nice thickness and weight so it should last several seasons. I did drill additional holes on the side for water drainage since this planter will be sitting on the concrete driveway." —Plantlover
"Meet the home for my strawberry patch. It’s perfect. Three plants of bright red and green against the gray of this barrel really pops. I needed functionality and I got beauty as a bonus." —Christine
Price: $16.98 (available in two colors)
13. A fertilizer spreader so you can evenly distribute fertilizer, grass seed, salt, and ice melt for uniformed coverage. It has a compact design and a fold-down handle for easy storage.
Lowe's
Promising review: "It is lightweight, easy to use, and operates perfectly. Just what I needed for my medium sized yard. It is small-ish and shorter in size, so if you are a very tall person, it might not be as comfortable to use as you would have to bend over to push it around. But for my height, it was perfect." —Mitsi94
Price: $49.98
14. A weed and grass killer to get rid of any unplanned and unwanted plants, including weeds, grasses, and other vegetation.
15. Or a hand weeder reviewers say is a great tool to *pop* the weeds out of your lawn. Its 40-inch length reduces the need to bend and squat, causing less strain on your neck and back.
Lowe's
Promising review: "I love this tool. I have bought one for all of my sisters and my father in law. I tell everyone about it. It is great for popping up weeds in your yard." —Daves Babe
Price: $24.98
16. **OR** a weed preventer because we'd all prefer it if they never grew in the first place. And since we can't just hop into a DeLorean with a science professor to go back in time to uninvent weeds (???), this will have to do.
Lowe's
Promising review: "Our seller covered the flower beds around the foundation with brick chips, which means the only way to weed is to reach down and pull each weed by hand. Thank goodness for Preen. I just have to sprinkle it throughout the beds and the weeds never grow. There may be one or two because I didn’t get it spread on every square inch, but that’s so much better than life without Preen." —Ppack
Price: $37.48
17. Vibrant mulch which can actually improve your lawn's health. It's not only a natural way to prevent weeds but it also helps to conserve the soil's moisture AND moderate the soil's temperature.
18. Some artificial grass in case the idea of a gorgeous lawn excites you but you're not confident that you'll be able to maintain it. This is a good-looking option that is environmentally friendly, durable, and low maintenance.
Lowe's
Promising reviews: "I love that it was 15’ wide because I needed 14’6” it allowed me to use one big piece 15x30." —Boxboyjon
"Nice and thick using this in a dog yard with four dogs have been using it for three months and it still looks new. Dog have not torn it up or chewed on it." —Marty
Price: $34.48 per 15ft. cut.
19. A friendly frog to greet your delivery person because packages are always welcome. Oh, and it'll be a welcoming touch for your friends and family, too. (And by family, we still mean your delivery person.)
20. A riding lawn mower with mulching capabilities that'll allow you to ~cruise~ through your mowing duties so you can work smarter and not harder.
Lowe's
Promising review: "We recently purchased a home on just shy of 2 acres. I NEEDED a riding mower, my push mower wasn't cutting it. My wife and I have always wanted a John Deere once we had our own property. We went into the store talked with the associate and decided the S110 was the best option for me. While I wanted a Zero Turn it was not in the books for me. We decided to have it delivered, and that went flawlessly! They called the morning of and gave me a time frame. The guys who delivered it were kind and very well-mannered. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. I am in love with my new mower and I look forward to many years of mowing with it!" —TacomaChris
Price: $2,299(originally $2,499)
21. A cordless string trimmer just begging to assist you in trimming and edging those hard-to-reach areas. Ensure your lawn has a polished and sophisticated look with this tool that'll help you achieve that crisp edge along your patio.
22. And a cordless hedge trimmer to keep those growing shrubberies under control. Reviewers note it's lightweight so it shouldn't make you want to hack your arm off at the end of the day.
23. A seed and fertilizer mix formulated to transform your lawn back to a healthy state in half the time.
Lowe's
Promising review: "I seeded a large area, put some straw down to keep the birds away, and watered twice a day for the first four days. With a lot of the reviews I read, I was worried that I would be wasting my time, especially since it's late June with temps in the high 80's, and low 90's. For the next four days I only had to water once each day as the straw kept it moist. I think the straw may've been the deciding factor. The grass is growing so much and I'm very pleased with it. So glad I took the chance and bought it." —Nita
Price: $34.58+ (originally $38.48+; available in coverage areas and bag capacities)
24. Or, a 3-in-1 lawn repair mixture complete with seed, fertilizer, and soil improver for strong root development. With those powers combined, your grass should not only look greener but thicker, too.
Lowe's
Promising review: "This is the second time I've used Turf Builder Thick'R Lawn grass seed and I've had good results both times. It's easy to apply and comes with starter fertilizer right in it so it saves you time." —Flowergirl37
Price: $26.98 (available in two sizes and coverage areas)
25. And a colorful windmill to give your now beautifully green lawn a touch of whimsical magic.
Lowe's
