Soon, you’re going to need to start prepping your bushes and plants for fall. These One Stop Gardens 22 in. Hedge Shears ($9.98) are the perfect item for touching up shrubs, featuring a wavy blade that makes it easier to clip twigs and stems.

The best part? They’re currently almost 50 percent off for members of Harbor Freight’s Inside Track loyalty program!

“Shears worked flawlessly and were strong enough to cut smaller tree branches,” writes one customer in their review. “Handles are very comfortable and didn’t leave calluses like wooden handles.”

There is also no shortage of smaller plants and bushes that need to get pruned before winter, too! This Doyle 8-1/2 in. Steel Blade Bypass Pruner ($24.99) gets bonus points for its design that makes it easier on the hands to cut through branches up to an inch in diameter.

Harbor Freight shoppers also appreciate the value of this durable tool. “What’s great about this pair of snips aside from the price is that they are easy to disassemble and maintain/sharpen,” writes one happy customer. “I use these frequently on plants like fig trees, roses, palms, cacti, and have even used them to snip thick strands of copper wire. It’s pretty much an all-purpose tool that’s handy and within everyday reach for me!”

Whether you’re chopping through stubborn roots or finishing up firewood duty for those fall fires, it can seriously pay to have a Pittsburgh Fiberglass Axe ($9.99) available. The handle is specifically designed to absorb most of the impact, saving your hands with each swing.

Getting in some near-the-ground lighting can be crucial both for setting the mood and getting around safely, especially as trick-or-treating season approaches. These Luminar Outdoor 10 in. Solar LED Copper Finish Pathway Lights ($19.99) are an affordable option we love, capable of running up to nine hours after charging in the sun for a day.

“These garden lights are perfect for what they are,” writes one 5-star reviewer. “They’re not insanely bright, which I like, but they do light the garden up beautifully. Absolutely would recommend,” adding that “the price is great.”

Even if you’re working with a leaf blower, there comes a point every fall where those accumulating piles finally need to move. This 10 ft. x 12 ft. Silver and Black Extreme-Duty Weather-Resistant Tarp ($19.99) is ideal for moving those heaps of foliage and brush by simply loading it up and pulling it away. Another bonus: This makes for a great cover when there’s a threat of an early frost or freeze.

High-powered leaf blowers are certainly a must-have, but at a certain point, you still need a way to finesse those leaves where you want them to be. This One Stop Gardens Leaf Rake with Wood Handle ($13.99) is arguably the one true fall yard tool must-have, with wide-set tines that help you cover more ground with each swipe.

“This is a great rake for the money,” writes one 5-star reviewer. “Smooth motion, ease of use, wide footprint and coverage, excellent build quality.”

Want to deck out your deck for Halloween? This Luminar Outdoor Solar LED Bronze Finish Lantern ($7.99) is rustic and spooky in its own way. But any other time of year, it still can set a cozy, romantic vibe outdoors, thanks to a flickering effect that makes it look like the real thing.

We love the solar charging capabilities as much as customers, it seems. “Started with two. Now I have six,” confesses one. “They look beautiful both during the day and at night. If there is good sunlight throughout the day, they stay lit all night long. There is nothing not to like about these lanterns.”

Speaking of Halloween-friendly lighting, installing these Luminar Everyday Indoor/Outdoor LED Twinkle Curtain Lights ($14.99) is a true ambiance-setting move that will give your outdoor space an entirely new look as we approach spooky season. But these are also perfect for special parties and events, or really any time you want to add a little romance or whimsy to your deck, porch, or patio.

We’ve been touting this Parachute Hammock with Adjustable Tree Straps ($14.99) all summer long as an ideal way to maximize your time outdoors. But if anything, this easy-to-use product is every bit as good in the autumn, too. It’s one of the best ways to kick back and enjoy all that changing foliage!

With all of the brush handling and hard labor that comes with autumn yard work, you’re going to need something heavy-duty to protect your mitts. These Hardy Split Leather Work Gloves ($6.99) come in a pack of five pairs, which should cover you and any helpers for months of projects to come. Customers say they’re not only a superior value, but are perfect for providing enough protection while still making it easy to grip items.

Fall yard work hits different, where plant maintenance eventually gives way to a massive cleanup. This One Stop Gardens 62 in. Bow Rake ($19.99) is a solid option for handling heavier materials that leaf rakes can’t handle. It’s also made with a fiberglass handle and strong tines that make it perfect for managing brush piles.
