Ahh, fall. Sure, it's pretty now, what with the foliage turning shades of gold, orange, and crimson. But once that display is done? Yep, it's arguably the messiest season, which means there's plenty of yard work to get done. From raking (or blasting!) leaves to cleaning up dead or diseased plant material, cutting back spent perennials, and removing damaged branches before winter, fall cleanup is considerably easier with the right tools.
We found three such helpers—all marked down by up to 31%—to help get your outdoor space shipshape.
3 top-notch tools for fall yard cleanup
True Temper Clog-Free Leaf Rake
A clog-free rake removes tons of frustration from fall cleanup.
With a 24-inch design that helps prevent clogs, this True Temper rake makes quick work of leaf cleanup. A hardwood and steel handle ensures durability, while the foam grip means you walk away from your newly tidied lawn blister-free.
Buyers note that the rake is easy to assemble and works just as well on acorns, twigs, pine needles, and more as it does on leaves. They also praise its clog-free functionality, saying it works exactly as designed.
Yoovl Cordless Leaf Blower
One leaf blower and two batteries mean plenty of time for tidying.
A good rake is clutch during the fall season, but a leaf blower is the more versatile tool. Long after the leaves have been puffed into submission, you can use it to clear snowy sidewalks in the winter and grass clippings in the spring and summer. The Yoovl blower has three speeds and comes with two batteries—always a plus if you have a bigger yard.
Buyers like its lightweight design and long-lasting batteries, saying each lasts nearly 30 minutes. It also comes with an adjustable strap for easier operation and an extension nozzle for better airflow control.
Fiskars SoftGrip Bypass Pruning Shears
It's not all about the leaves — pruning shears help with backyard tasks too.
Pruning shears are also among the most versatile of yard tools, and tons of gardeners (myself included) swear by the Fiskars brand. We included these in our roundup of the best pruning shears, writing that they felt smooth and cut cleanly from the get-go, and that they "sliced easily through smaller branches, raspberry canes, and rose twigs."
Whether you're cutting back perennials, snipping the last of summer's herbs, or pruning dead or diseased plants, these get the job done. They also come with a lifetime warranty, and when you're done using them, they lock for safer storage.
