Promising review: "Absolutely love this hammock chair!!! It looks beautiful in my garden, and my friends love to sit in it when they come over." —Kat Payne

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "All the varieties grew, and I was very impressed by how they stayed nice and neat when planted in a row. I used them to edge one side of my garden. Several strong storms came through this summer and didn't break even one! They drew all types of pollinators: bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds." —Taryn Fellinger

Promising review: "I am thoroughly delighted with these flamingos. They're perfect for enhancing my pool area. The solar lighting that maintains its glow throughout the night is a notable advantage." —Magdaia

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (also available in packs of two and four).

Promising review: "I rarely write product reviews, but this has far exceeded my expectations. I saw my first-ever oriole a few weeks ago. He was here and then gone. Decided to get a feeder. I was unsure how this would work. I bought two. Put out the oranges and put grape jelly in the cups. Day one: Nothing. But on the second day, I had tons! Every day since, I have had at least 7–14 birds and am going through a ton of grape jelly." —Amazoncustomer

Promising review: "This is seriously the best 'lounge tanning chair' I have ever had! I don’t have a pool, and most days I have some time to lie out and enjoy the sun for an hour or two. This thing is soooo comfortable, and the pillow is perfect! Just add however much water you want to keep cool, get your favorite playlist out and a refreshing drink, and get your tan on in your backyard or deck! Buy it! It’s worth every penny." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors).

It doesn't require a pump either — all you have to do is whisk it through the air to blow it up. It's suggested that you close the sleeve opening before ending each movement and keep the mouth closed until you begin the next one. Once there's enough air inside, you'll be good to go!

Promising review: "I'm in love with this product! I’ve been using it every day to chill outside, and it’s great! It's easy to set up, set down, and it's super comfy." —Alexus

Get it from Amazon for $38.98+ (available in 20 styles).

Promising review: "I love this! It’s well-painted, and the solar light works great. It is the cutest thing on my patio table." —solowithpits

Promising review: "We bought this for a rather large umbrella over our table in the backyard and used it for the first time last night. We were less concerned about mosquitoes because we have a service to eliminate them — it's the bees that were disturbing our outdoor meals and events. My wife hosted a few friends last night, and they all fell in love with this. They've all been fighting with bees lately, and they were not bothered once by any bugs. Every friend bought the netting on the spot – you're welcome to the company that manufactures this product. Also, when you're inside the netting sitting on chairs, it's almost as if the netting is invisible; most of the time, you can't tell whether it's even there, especially at night." —Sara Olshansky

Promising reviews: "Love love love it. We have had three inches of rain in the last week, and the cushion was dry today when I went out to get in the pool. Definitely would recommend. Easy to assemble." —P. K. Weiss

"These are great! The cushions are thick and comfortable. They have been outside on an uncovered patio, exposed to the North Carolina elements day and night. They still look brand-new. They are a great buy." —Teresa Butts

Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in four sizes and eight styles).

Promising review: "This is the cutest thing ever! Very sturdy, the butterflies love it, and it’s just a nice little piece to add to the garden." —Rhonda

Promising review: "Doesn’t disrupt nearby plants. For weeds with long roots like bindweed, follow along the weed's root. You’ll get a feel for it with practice. The tip has a sharper angle than my last one, so it's good for cutting the roots of shallow-rooted plants. It’s a game-changer, for sure. Good, sturdy, well-made, and has a comfortable handle." —Hanna

Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a family-owned small business that makes products that make gardening, weeding, or harvesting your land a little easier.

Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that my husband and I bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard, and boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get." —JG 

Promising review: "This sail worked perfectly to provide morning and afternoon shade and looks fabulous. I like the way the design looks. It was easy to install and has held up to the monsoons of summer quite well. I am purchasing another one for the horse pen! I give 5 stars." —Laura P.

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in a variety of sizes and styles).

Promising review: "This is a game changer! It's the perfect companion for those long summer evenings spent outdoors. The citronella and cedar wood formula effectively repels mosquitoes, allowing me to enjoy my backyard without the constant annoyance of buzzing insects. The clean-burning formula produces minimal smoke and soot, making it a pleasant experience. Plus, the easy-pour bottle makes refilling my torches a breeze. If you're looking to reclaim your outdoor space, I highly recommend this product!" —Jose A. Acevedo

Promising review: "Was actually a little bigger than I expected to be for the price. Beautiful and well worth the money. Sounds beautiful." —Ashleigh Yates 

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes). 

FYI, this doesn't come with a container.

Promising reviews: "It’s perfect for creating the most serene atmosphere on my patio. I’m purchasing another one for outside the front door!" —Zen Cycler

"Lovely, easy-to-set-up fountain! I wanted something simple and unfussy for my front porch, and this was just the ticket. Couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend." —Elizabeth H. Croft

Promising review: "I had two last year and was so impressed with how sturdy they are. The flowers and veggies grew much better, and no slugs or snails. Bought four more! My 10- and 6-year-old grandsons put them together with just some initial instruction. In less than three hours. WELL worth the money." —M

Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in nine sizes and eight colors).

Promising reviews: "So, I love this. I bought it to use for my star jasmine bush, to train it, and it's been perfect. It got tipped over during Hurricane Helene, and it STAYED TOGETHER, if that tells y'all anything. So the build quality and value for money are on point." —EngagedMomLife

"The trellis is easy to put together, sturdy for the money, and my tomato 🍅 plant is thriving. I love the no-water system. I fill up the reservoir, and I'm done!" —cmarego

Get them from Amazon for $27.54 (also available individually and in sets of four).

Reviewers note that you should take the bulbs out before hanging the strings up!

Promising review: "Very nice set of lights for the price. I bought a number of sets in various lengths to install on our deck and used a staple gun to mount them. I am very pleased with how easy it was to mount them neatly and also with the quality of light. It's exactly the amount of warmth that we were looking for." —Frank Rizzo

Get it from Amazon for $15.79+ (available in seven sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this bird bath. I’ve been wanting a bird bath for a long time, but the heavy concrete or metal ones are so expensive, and I am not strong enough to lug that thing home. This is made out of plastic, but it looks real. I mean, it looks like it’s made out of sturdy heavy metal. It’s not! I can lift it up with one hand. It’s so light. It comes with three stakes that you use to put in the ground to hold it in place, and it does not move. I highly recommend this bird bath. I am so pleased. The only downside is that I have not seen any birds in it yet. But every morning when I look out the window, all the water is gone. I have figured out that the deer are coming and drinking all the water in the middle of the night. Oh well, I am an animal-lover, so I guess I’m OK with that. Oh, and it comes with this cute little bird that attaches to the side of it. It’s just adorable. 😊 Buy it." —BMR

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "This thing actually works great. We started using it during outdoor markets, and it made a noticeable difference with mosquitoes. Normally, I get bitten constantly when we’re outside for long periods of time, but with this running nearby, it helped a lot. It’s also really easy to set up and convenient to bring along. We’ve used it at markets, sitting outside at home, and at other outdoor events, and have been really happy with it. It’s become one of those things we always make sure to bring with us now." —Paige

Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I love spending time outside, and we entertain on our patio, too. But when it's over 100 degrees outside, nobody feels like visiting. Until now!! I bought one and liked it so much I ordered another to cover both patios. They lower the temps to a more moderate level in just moments and don't use 100 gallons of water doing it! I put mine along the top of our privacy fence, and then put a fan behind it and made it almost like having an AC unit outside. They're easy to put up and take down and come with convenient hanging hooks! I read the reviews people wrote about the heads getting stopped up, and they WILL, but as a plumber, I'll tell you a trick to keeping them working like new: vinegar. Just remove the heads and soak them in a little straight vinegar, then use a small bristle brush like a toothbrush or nail brush, rinse them off, and replace them in the mister tubing, and they should be like brand-new." —Sonya Combs

Get it from Amazon for $16.1+1 (available in several pack sizes).

The mister will cool the surrounding area by 20 degrees, and it comes with an interchangeable flower-shaped misting head for a fun, whimsical detail.

Promising review: "Works exactly how I want it to. Provides a fine, cool mist on the patio, allowing us to enjoy the backyard until sunset without breaking a sweat. Easy to set up. It was out of the box and cooling us off within minutes." —Debra L. Kusek

Promising review: "Lovely colorful flower pots. Perfect size to hold a single flower, and they add such a nice pop of color to my yard. Very easy to hang up, no hardware required! I’m getting a lot of compliments on them. I bought several sets and planted bright flowers in them. I have them lining the inside of my yard and on the front of the house. They add a lot a cheer and homeyness for a simple and cheap project." —Maegan

Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $18.99 (available in multicolor, black, and white). 

Promising review: "Our hot tub was so much grosser than I could have imagined. The amount of ick that this stuff got out of the jets was surprising. Honestly so embarrassing. I drained and cleaned the tub a few months ago but did not think of getting this jet cleaner. I will not make that mistake again. The hot tub smells so so clean now. I will definitely use this again next time I drain the tub." —Kaerlia

Promising review: "This windmill got a workout the first day when a storm came through with high winds. It’s so pretty in my yard and spinning away!" —Judy Durham Lumpkin

Get it from Amazon for $44.64+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "This has become one of my kiddos' favorite summer outdoor play. The table with shade is easy to assemble, and the chair is ready to use with a simple, safe lock. True kiddos' furniture, the size is really up to 6 years old, depending on the little kids' size. Quality is decent for the age group, love the bright color, very lightweight for kiddos' use (due to that, do suggest putting it in a more closed space during windy days). Just like a toy set, but kids can really use and enjoy the summer outdoor weather, comfy to sit, and wipe clean." —Meowcoolcat

Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in 10 styles).

Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous! Perfect fit for my small garden pond. I put a stain and clear coat on it." —Karen S.
