The end of weekly mowing may be in sight across many parts of the country, but fall lawn care doesn’t mean stopping work altogether. Instead, it’s a season for cleaning up leaves; overseeding your grass; and pressure-washing your hardscape. Taking the time needed to prep your yard and landscaping now will help ensure it’s ready to shine next spring and summer.
Ace Hardware knows this and has your back with deals on dozens of high-quality lawn and garden products. From leaf blowers to pressure washers and grass seed to lawn tractors, these are some of Ace’s top fall lawn care essentials.
1. Ego Power+ 765 CFM Leaf Blower
Ego and other manufacturers offer all sorts of options when it comes to leaf blowers, so choosing the right model for cleaning up your property can be confusing. Let us simplify things for you. With thousands of 4- and 5-star reviews, this Ego Power+ 765 CFM Leaf Blower is an easy “add to cart.” It features a turbo mode for an astonishing 765 cubic feet per minute (CFM) maximum output yet allows you to adjust down to just 260 CFM for more delicate tasks. Its high-efficiency brushless motor has an impressive runtime of up to 150 minutes, ensuring you have more than enough time to clear off your deck, sidewalks, and driveway. Though its turbine fan engineering performs better than many of the most popular gas leaf blowers on the market, users love that it works without a gas tool’s noise and fumes.

2. Ego Power+ 3,200 PSI Pressure Washer
If you’ve never owned a power washer, you have no idea how handy these tools are for a variety of tasks. If you have, then you surely have a long list of the tasks you’ve used it for and feel a sense of satisfaction each time you add to it. As a battery-powered option, the Ego Power+ 3,200 PSI Pressure Washer takes an already awesome tool and makes it even more convenient. But that doesn’t mean you’ll want for power: This pressure washer delivers 3,200 pounds per square inch (PSI) at up to 2 gallons per minute (GPM) for quick and thorough cleaning. It comes with two batteries, a 25-foot high-pressure hose, siphon hose, quick-connect short pressure washer gun, quick-connect wand lance, stainless steel wand, foam cannon, filter, and set of five nozzles.

4. Ego Power+ 42″ T6 Lawn Tractor Kit
Why is this Ego Power+ 42-Inch Lawn Tractor Kit called the T6? We don’t know for sure, but it just might have something to do with the six (yes, six!) 56-volt ARC Lithium batteries it comes with. These are the same batteries used by all of Ego’s 80+ tools, and they provide enough power for this lawn tractor to cut up to 1.5 acres on a single charge. If you already have other 56-volt Ego Power+ tools, you can add additional batteries to cut as many acres as needed. This beast has a 42-inch stamped steel deck, a steel front bumper, and a tow hitch. It offers 12 deck heights for cuts between 1.5 and 4.5 inches and features three drive speeds, dual brushless cutting motors, cruise control, LED lights, a USB charging port, and Bluetooth.

5. Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Sun and Shade
There are a lot of things to love about dogs, but the yellow spots they sometimes make in the lawn aren’t on that list. To repair damage and fill in bare spots, we often turn to Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Sun and Shade. In fact, it won the Best for Repairs award in our review of the best grass seed for shade. This combo of high-performance grass seed, protective mulch, and controlled-release fertilizer is ideal for fixing problem spots. It’s formulated specifically for either full sun or dense shade, and it includes a tackifier to keep it in place in high-traffic areas and on slopes.

6. Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Tall Fescue Lawns
Like the brand’s EZ Seed for sun and shade, Scotts Patch & Repair Tall Fescue Lawns is an excellent choice for spot repairs. We awarded it Best for Bare Spots in our guide to the best tall fescue grass seed. It’s also a great option for overseeding to help create a thicker and lusher lawn next year. Hard fescue is among the fastest-growing grasses in colder climates, so it’s best to apply it a few weeks before the first fall frost.

An award winner in our guide to the best winter grass fertilizers, this lawn food is designed to help yards recover from the drought, heat, and foot traffic that are natural parts of summer. Its NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) ratio of 32-0-10 feeds for up to 3 months to ensure roots stay healthy through the winter. Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard is kid- and pet-friendly and improves water and nutrient absorption for all types of grass, making it a universally effective option for a better-looking lawn next spring.
