There’s got to be an easier way! And in most cases, there is. Weeding, mowing, fertilising – there are handy tools and products for your yard for almost everything. Lawns are pretty easy to manage for the most part, but anything that helps to save you some time is welcomed.
So, we’ve put together this list of handy items that are sure to save you time and effort in caring for your lawn.
Save Your Back With This Weed Puller!
The Fiskars Xact Weed Puller is a great innovation for removing weeds effortlessly. Its simple and ergonomic design eliminates the need for bending, kneeling and using chemicals for the removal of weeds.
The deep reaching claws grab roots from all directions and remove weeds cleanly. The ejection system helps to release weeds after they’ve been removed from the soil, allowing you to work upright at all times.
Instant Green Lawn
Winter and drought make it a challenge to maintain a green lawn all year round. A way around this is to apply a grass pigment to your lawn. Now we’re not talking about painting your lawn or any of those silly memes with a bucket of green paint and a paintbrush. We’re talking about a pigment. The key difference is that a pigment doesn’t coat the leaf of the grass, it’s absorbed into it. One natural grass pigment is called ColourGuard Plus, which also includes a liquid fertiliser to feed the lawn at the same time.
Stopping Weeds Before They Even Appear!
A pre-emergent herbicide targets weed seeds before they take hold by forming a barrier at soil level that stops the germination of any new seedlings.
OxaFert is in granular form, and when applied forms a film at the base of the turf. This film kills new weed seed germinations, leaving your lawn free of crow’s foot, summer grass, winter grass, creeping oxalis, and others.
Mown Lawn Without Having to Mow!
Robot mowers are a great way to help keep on top of your lawns mowing requirements without having to step a foot outside! These are especially handy to have throughout the warmer months when your grasses growth is at its fastest and mowing is needed more than once a week!

Burn Weeds In Your Lawn and Garden Instantly
Using a weed burner like the Bossweld Map-Pro Weed Burner is a fast and effective way of controlling weeds. These weed burners are best used weeds that have grown through paving, pebbled areas or driveways.
Spread Fertiliser and Granular Lawn Care Products Evenly

This is a professional product used by landscapers and greenkeepers and its light weight and compact. Comfortable to hold and use for small to medium size lawns. Is easy to use, transport and store.
Lawn Mower Cup Holder
Last but not least, the lawn mower cup holder for those who can’t wait until they have finished the job. Perfect for holding your beer (or water) while you mow the lawn properly with two hands! Check out this one by The Mower Mate which comes with one of your choice of four stubby holder designs.
