We can all agree that fall foliage is easily one of the best parts of the change of seasons…At least when you’re looking at it. But once everything hits the ground, you’ll be a lot happier if you’re working with a Nature Spring Plastic Hand Scoop ($15.90) to get everything off your lawn and into the compost pile.

Perhaps not surprisingly, the product has already received rave reviews, earning a 4.8-star average on the Lowe’s website. “This is exactly what I was looking for when picking up yard debris,” writes one happy customer. “Very sturdy and gets the job done quite easily.”

In another form of “hands on” gardening, you’re also going to need to be able to protect your mits when pulling off some of the heavier-duty end-of-season chores that come with the autumn transition. These Project Source Blue Gardening Gloves ($14.98) give extra protection not just to your hands, but also provide forearm coverage that is essential when handling brush or digging through shrubs to prune or clip.

Even though they’re great for guarding against cuts and scrapes, customers say the gloves are still great for “grip, comfort, [and] dexterity,” which is key when working with your hands.

“What a great surprise!” writes one 5-star reviewer. “These gloves looked to be heavyweight, and I thought they’d be hot, but I needed protection from thorns. They are actually light and flexible. I can grip well with them.”

Planting fall bulbs? This Project Source 4-Piece Gardening Hand Tool Kit ($14.98) covers you on all the basics, and can also be especially helpful for potting or repotting your specimens to bring indoors in a few months. According to customers, the carbon steel heads make them “very sturdy” and are “strong enough to hold up to digging [and] planting in all soil types.”

Now that you’ve got that leaf pile, you’re going to need a way to move it off your yard and into your compost pile! This Project Source 8′ x 10′ Waterproof Tarp ($17.98) is a versatile buy, but it comes in super handy during the fall for this exact reason. It can also work as a cover to help protect your sensitive plants from an early frost or freeze!

While tarps are a simple and affordable solution, undertaking a loose leaf management project on even a slightly breezy day can quickly become an exercise in frustration. That’s why we love these GarveeLife 40 Gallon Yard Waste Bags ($22.99) for quickly gathering and transporting all of that organic refuse out of the way.

These are quite an easy upgrade, especially thanks to their arched opening that makes filling them super easy even for just one person. And of course, we also appreciate the durability!

Sometimes, all of that yard waste you’ve collected needs to get carted away. That’s why we’ve started stocking up on these 5-packs of Lowe’s 30-Gallon Paper Lawn and Leaf Trash Bag ($2.48), which offer the easiest solution for organic matter removal. Despite being made of biodegradable material, customers still say these are “incredibly durable” and “easy to use,” holding their contents even when they get wet.

When it comes to autumn yard work, there is no single tool that is more important than a good rake. This year, upgrade yours to a Project Source 26-in Plastic Leaf Rake ($21.98), which covers more ground with each swipe and is called “rock solid” by enthusiastic Lowe’s shoppers.

“Sturdy and wide enough to gather and thatch a large area by hand,” writes one. “Was glad that I picked the right tool to take up old leaves and debris.”

Fall is the season when mowing, watering, and planting start giving way to leaf maintenance, but light foliage isn’t the only thing you’ll be moving around. This Craftsman Steel Lawn Rake ($24.98) is sturdy enough to get the job done, as well as manage heavier items like brush, gravel, and soil.

Despite being such a simple tool, Lowe’s shoppers still gush over it in the reviews, with many calling it “nice and durable” at its relatively low price point.

Fall yard work includes preparing for winter, which often means taking down those errant branches and limbs before the first heavy snows arrive. Fortunately, The GOAT Bag Reusable Polypropylene Contractor Trash Bags ($19.98) makes it easy to stash and remove even the heaviest sticks and logs, making your yard cleanup job that much easier.

“I recently purchased these and am surprised how much I love these bags!” gushes one 5-star reviewer. “I used the first couple around the yard and love how reusable they are. I’ll keep using those for yard work, and I put the rest of them to work in my shed. Instead of using these just for cleanup, I’ve been using these bags to store items in my storage shed, and it’s been fantastic. The material is incredibly durable and is more like a flexible tote or bucket.”

Speaking of removing branches and limbs, when is the last time you checked on the quality of your tools for the job? This Corona Yard Essentials Bypass Lopper ($24.98) gets rave reviews on the Lowe’s website for its value and performance, holding an impressive 4.8-star average rating.

“I needed a garden tool that would cut through 1″ branches of some bushes. I was not disappointed with the results of the trimmer I purchased from Lowe’s,” writes one. “Great tool for a very reasonable price!”

On top of raking, you should also be pruning during the fall to prepare them for winter. This Fiskars Classic Steel Bypass Hand Pruner ($15.98) is a popular option among Lowe’s shoppers, capable of clipping branches up to nearly an inch thick and designed with comfortable, sturdy grips that make getting the job done so much easier on your hands.

“These are ‘lifetime’ quality indeed,” writes one happy customer. “Used many types over the decades, and this pair from Fiskars has impressed. It’s my go-to and bends the least when used and abused.”
