Gardening and Lawn Care Products

A well-tended yard can make or break the curb appeal of your home. Whether you’re a beginning gardener or an experienced landscaper, yardwork requires proper equipment and supplies. Not to mention that various additions, like landscaping rocks, pavers and fencing, can add layers of interest and functionality. Depending on your plan to upgrade or maintain your yard, you'll need lots of lawn and garden supplies to keep it going.

Landscaping typically begins with planting, which quickly turns to maintenance and care. To take care of installing new shrubs, flowers and trees you’ll need an arsenal of essential garden tools and gardening products at hand. These should include a few hand tools as well as larger pieces of equipment. Outdoor power equipment can round out your selection and is useful when you take on larger projects such as tilling a garden or mowing the lawn.

Once your greenery is planted and in place, an irrigation or sprinkler system is a necessary next step. This will keep your landscape green and healthy. If you need more control over the amount of water you dispense or if you have a smaller garden, a watering can is a less expensive yet just as effective alternative.

While you can purchase fertilizer from the store, it may make more sense for you to create your own. A compost bin will also help reduce the amount of organic waste you send to the landfill, and once everything is fully composted you can use it to provide your plants with nutrients.

You can complement your flowers, shrubs and trees with landscaping rocks. These come in various sizes — you can use smaller, gravel-sized rocks in place of mulch or on pathways. Larger boulders can become a garden centerpiece or be used as stepping stones through your garden. Pavers can also be used to accentuate your landscape by creating a unique pathway or patio.

If your landscaping runs along a sidewalk or your driveway, you may enjoy separating it from foot and car traffic with decorative and functional fencing. A fence can also be used to separate your garden into sections, and is a great place for climbing plants to spread their flowers and leaves. Adding a gate to your garden can also create a sense of mystique and solitude.

Lastly, outdoor structures can provide shade for you to lounge under or accents for your landscaping. An awning will shield you from the hot sun during the summer, and also provides a spot for shade-hungry plants to thrive. If your family is in need of an outdoor gathering spot, a gazebo provides shade while still connecting you with the outdoors. It can become a clubhouse for children or a dining area for enjoying barbecue. Sheds are another functional structure where you can store tools and equipment, work on projects and pot plants.

From tools and equipment to garden supplies, outdoor structures to fences, you’ll find a wide variety of lawn and garden products to transform your yard into a haven right here on Houzz.
