A great-looking yard doesn't happen by chance: in large part, it's a result of proper maintenance. Quality tools make upkeep tasks easier and more effective, and Tractor Supply Company is one popular place to shop for the supplies to help. Called "the next decade's retailer to watch" by Forbes in 2024, the brand sells everything from simple gardening hand tools to large riding lawn mowers, and much more. 

For this roundup, we've selected 15 highly-rated products from Tractor Supply that are helpful for yard work. We narrowed these down by researching the most-reviewed and highly-rated products in major categories of gardening tools and machinery. Many items on this list have thousands of ratings, but at minimum, each has at least 4 stars overall based on a minimum of 100 reviews. We've included more information on our selection methodology at the end of this article. Whether you're trying to maintain a lush and manicured lawn, a clean and tidy garden, or a heavily-wooded property, here are some of the best-rated tools from Tractor Supply to lend a helping hand.

The HydroTech Expandable Burst-proof Garden Hose is up there in the highest-rated yard products on the Tractor Supply website, boasting tens of thousands of happy reviews. It's an expandable hose measuring 75 feet long. It's a great example as to why it can be worth investing in an expandable garden hose. When it's empty, it shrinks down to only 26 feet and only weighs 4.2 pounds, so it's not too much of a hassle to lug around. The hose material resists kinks and won't burst or break.

Customers rate this product 4.6 stars based on over 39,000 reviews, with around 73% giving it 5 stars. One commenter notes, "[I] just got this and so far I'm in love! I have a bad back and a decent size home garden. This hose is lightweight enough for me to drag to the back of the garden myself. When I'm done, I simply use all the water left in the hose after shutting down the water faucet and the hose becomes small and pliable enough to fit in a plant pot under the faucet." As is to be expected from any product with so many ratings, some reviewers had negative experiences. A few reviews note connections leaking or breaking, but several also say the brand offers a 10-year warranty for registered products.

The Greenworks 60V Cordless String Trimmer is the tool of choice for many when it comes to lawn upkeep and precision trimming. It's user-friendly: this model is battery-powered, so it's cordless and doesn't require fuel. It can trim up to two miles of grass (or run up to 65 minutes) on a full charge and comes with a battery and charger. Low- and high-speed settings, a variable-speed trigger, and load-sensing technology that boosts the power as-needed all contribute to this trimmer's convenience. Even first-timers find this trimmer easy to handle since it's lightweight and has a load-and-go, bump-feed feature for quick setup and advancement of the trimmer line.

This is a well-received trimmer, with 4.6 stars overall, based on around 1,300 reviews. Around 75% of reviewers give it 5 stars. One shopper sings its praises, saying, "The string trimmer is easy to assemble, directions are clear, and the unit is ergonomic. It starts every time!! (not so with gas-powered trimmers)."

Big yard maintenance tasks are made easier with the Husqvarna 440 40cc Gas Chainsaw. This gas chainsaw offers a good amount of power for a mid-range price, costing just under $400. This one has a 18-inch cutting bar and 40.9cc engine. A variety of easy-start features makes it a more reliable starter. Other user-friendly features include the LowVib Technology, which reduces vibrations so it feels more comfortable in-hand, and the X-cut chain, which offers better cutting performance.

Based on over 2,100 reviews, this chainsaw has earned 4.3 stars overall, and over 65% rate it 5 stars. Several reviews say this tool is an excellent choice for the average homeowner, with one explaining, "I'm really impressed ... [this tool is] lightweight yet powerful enough to handle everything from limbing to cutting firewood. Starts up easily and runs smoothly. [It's a] great saw for property maintenance without the fatigue of heavier models." Some of the serious negative reviews report their chainsaw stopped working, though these are well in the minority: most shoppers seem to have a very positive experience with this product. Plus, it has a 2-year warranty, which should cover failure from defects.

If your lawn is the crown jewel of your yard, the Greenworks 60V Cordless Lawn Mower can help you keep it perfectly trimmed. This is a battery-powered cordless mower that's equivalent to a 150cc gas-powered mower. Unlike gas models though, this electric lawn mower doesn't require smelly fuel, starts up easily, and is lightweight and quiet-running. The SmartCut feature monitors while mowing, adapting the amount of power depending on grass conditions. The dual cutting blades help it move through even tall, wet, and thick grass and you can adjust it between seven positions to get the perfect height. Suitable for most residential homes, this mower clears up to ½ acre on a single charge. A battery and charger are included.

This mower has a 4.6-star rating from over 1,500 reviews, with around 80% giving it 5 stars. Some previously skeptical reviewers switched to this model from gas versions with good results. One explains, "I purchased this to replace my older noisy gas mower. I was a bit concerned that it would not have the power or battery to do our rural back lawn. It is very easy to set up and start. I love how quiet it is. While it won't go through and mulch fall leaves the way the gas mover did, it does a great job on the lawn." It seems many shoppers prize this mower for its convenience, though some households may prefer more powerful gas versions.

Large properties may prefer the Cub Cadet Ultima Gas Zero-Turn Mower to power through mowing jobs. This gas-powered model is a zero-turn lawn mower, a type of riding mower that can make very sharp turns to cover large areas with precision. It definitely comes with a big jump in price: this mower costs over $3500, so it's significantly more expensive than a push mower. However, for extra-large and rural properties, it can be worth the investment. It boasts a powerful 725cc engine and a 54-inch-wide, height-adjustable, triple-blade deck. A high-back seat and ergonomic hand grips help with comfort and control when mowing.

Reviewers give this product 4.6 stars from over 3700 reviews, with over 75% of them giving it a full 5 stars. One commenter says, "I've owned mine for a little over two years now, so I can properly rate this machine. For what this mower is (residential), this is a great buy. The serviceability is great. It's very easy to change the oil and the oil/air/fuel filters. Nothing has worn out on me so far. It runs well with good power, [it] mows evenly [and] mulches grass well, too."

For serious leaf-moving power, consider buying a backpack leaf blower instead of a handheld model. The Husqvarna 150BT 51cc Gas Backpack Leaf Blower is the top-rated product from Tractor Supply in this category. This gas-powered blower generates powerful wind speeds up to 270 miles per hour, with a 765 CFM air flow. A variable-speed throttle with a cruise control feature makes this blower easy to handle. It starts reliably thanks to the quick start feature, which has an air purging system to encourage better starting. The harness is ergonomic and is weight-levelled, so it doesn't feel too heavy to any side when you're working.

Based on around 1500 reviews, this product has 4.4 stars, with around 73% giving it 5 stars. A reviewer states, "I bought the 150BT backpack blower to take care of a heavily wooded back yard, and I am loving it. It takes me less than 25% of the time it used to take with my little handheld blower. I don't have a lot of spare time and time [is] money." Reviewers also praise its ability to blow rocks off driveways, making it useful for a variety of yard tasks.

Tackle trimming hedges with the Dewalt 20V Max Cordless Hedge Trimmer. This powerful and precise cordless tool has hardened steel blades that make clean, fast cuts. It has a 22-inch blade length and can cut through branches up to ¾ inch thick. Since this tool only weighs 7½ pounds, it's not too heavy to hold or maneuver. This kit includes a battery and charger, so it's a great starting point, especially if you're planning on picking up other DeWalt garden tools.

Shoppers seem very happy with this product, rating it 4.7 stars based off of around 750 reviews. Over 80% of these reviewers give it a full five stars. Several reviews highlight this tool's user-friendliness, with one person commenting, "[It's] easy to use and very effective. I'm a 5'3" woman and had no issues carrying or using the trimmer. I love that this is battery-operated. I live on [4] acres and could clean up so much more than before."

The Worx 12A Corded 2-in-1 Edger and Trencher is a two-in-one tool that might just be your key to achieving neat edges. First and foremost, this tool is great for creating tidy lawn edges around paths, pavements, flower beds, and more. It has a three-position blade depth with the option to set it to 1, 1¼, and 1½ inches deep. A cutting line indicator helps you see exactly where it will trim. Since it cuts down to 1½ inches deep, it can be used as a trencher for some applications. For shallow trenches, this is much more affordable than calling in professionals to get the job done. It's corded, so some might find it unwieldy, while others will appreciate that it won't ever run out of power.

This tool has a 4.7-star rating based on over 500 reviews, and around 80% give it 5 stars. A commenter says, "This is the perfect tool to really make the yard look beautiful. Easy to set up and use, gets the job done. It's nice and lightweight, but really cuts out a beautiful edge with ease." It's an ideal product to get that picture-perfect finish around lawns.

Since you can use it to spread fertilizer, grass seed, salt, and ice melt, it's worthwhile having the Scotts Turf Builder Mini Broadcast Spreader on hand. The spreader arrives ready to use and has the capacity to hold 5,000 square feet of product. The EdgeGuard feature is a nice touch: when activated, it prevents product coming out from the right side of the spreader, enabling you to only spread product on one side. You can also use the rate control dial to set the spreader output. When the job is done, this mini broadcast spreader is easy to store and features a fold-down handle to take up less room.

This product has four stars overall from over 1,900 reviews. Around 63% of reviewers give it five stars. One of these happy customers says, "Excellent product at an excellent price. My only thoughts on this is [that] the packaging of the fertilizer is unclear about the settings on the spreader provided. However I did work it out ... [and] my yard is always the showplace on the street." This review captures a reason for many of the negative comments; quite a few customers had trouble figuring out the directions for use. That being said, it's still highly-rated, with many customers appreciating its compact, easy-to-store design that's great for home use.

This 32-pound bag of highly-rated Milorganite Fertilizer offers up to 2,500 square feet of coverage area. The nitrogen fertilizer has a 6-4-0 ratio and comes in an easy-to-spread granule form. It's a non-burning, slow-release option that works for up to 10 weeks.

This is a well-rated product from a brand that's been operating for decades. On Tractor Supply's website, this product has a 4.7-star rating based on around 450 reviews. Around 85% of those reviewers give it five stars. One commenter says of their experience, "Milorganite is fantastic. I use it to fertilize my lawn and other plants, such as fruit trees and shrubs. The most important matter of using this product is that it will not burn your lawn."

Chopping through small branches is an easier chore with the Worx Cordless Pruning Saw. It's essentially like a mini chainsaw, harnessing excellent cutting power, but in a much more compact tool. This one comes with a battery and charger. It's cordless and has a tool-free tensioning system that ensures it's safe. A guarded handle reduces the risk of injury, plus at just 4 pounds in weight, it's easy to control.

Based on over 225 reviews, this product has a 4.7 star rating overall and around 86% rating it 5 stars. According to one reviewer, they say, "I absolutely love, love my pruning saw ... I have several shrubs and trees on my property which require constant pruning and trimming, and this tool has cut my labor time by at least 75%. Easy to use, long battery life, and light weight are just a few of the advantages of this tool." For those who find a full-size chainsaw a little intimidating, this can be a great alternative for small jobs.

With an eight-cubic feet and 600-pound capacity, the GroundWork Mega-Load Wheelbarrow is the tool to have on-hand for big landscaping tasks. It has two 16-inch pneumatic wheels, so it rolls steadily and smoothly. The built-in load stabilizer keeps the wheelbarrow safely upright if you need to set it down while it's full. For durability, this wheelbarrow is made from UV-protected polypropylene on a rust-resistant metal frame.

Reviewers quite like this product, awarding it 4.5 stars overall from over 2,000 reviews. Over 70% of these reviewers rate it 5 stars, with one stating, "This is a great wheelbarrow for what it is. It has a plastic tub and dual wheels which makes it lightweight and easy to handle ... It's actually perfect for gardening. Not so heavy to handle and very easy to balance and dump." A few negative reviews experience the plastic cracking upon very heavy loads, especially those that might sit unevenly, like big pieces of firewood or stone. However, the majority of reviews still say it is a sturdy and helpful wheelbarrow choice.

The DeWalt 20V Max Cordless Pole Saw helps you chop and prune up high. This model is cordless, and comes with the necessary battery and charger. It comes with an 8-inch bar and chain to handle medium-sized jobs. The tool is well-balanced and has a sturdy pole shaft that extends up to 10 feet, giving you a total reach of 15 feet. On a full charge, it can make up to 96 cuts, plenty enough to handle most residential trimming tasks.

Based on over 1,000 reviews, this product has a 4.5-star rating overall, with about 75% of reviewers giving it a perfect 5 stars. One such reviewer says, "[This is the] best tool in my garage for tree trimming [and] lot clearing. I was able to clean [and] clear a 300 [by] 100 ft lot in half a day with just this tool. It took me days to pick up all of the trimmed branches [and] trees, the tool is MUCH faster than me." Trimming overhead branches can be an expensive job to call a pro in for, so if you're willing to take it on yourself, this is a helpful tool.

The GroundWork Aluminum Landscape Rake is excellent for handling yard cleanups. It has an aluminum head measuring 36 inches across. This is mounted on a 67-inch fiberglass handle. This combination is durable but also keeps the rake fairly lightweight.

Based on over 150 reviews, shoppers rate this product 4.6 Stars. Over 80% give it a full five stars. One happy commenter says this rake is, "Great for landscaping and spreading bulk material. This has a very large head with tines on one side and smooth on the other so you can push bulk material and then spread it evenly. The tines are broad and not sharp so they don't dig in either. It's very lightweight for as large as it is."

The Corona QuickCollector Ground Clearing Tool has a rolling head that's designed to pick up tree nuts and seed pods. Debris pops into the flexible spring steel cage, which is also easy to empty. The long steel handle is sturdy and provides enough reach so you don't need to bend over to clear the ground. 

Reviewers give this product 4.3 stars based on around 120 reviews, and with just shy of 70% giving it five stars. A happy reviewer says, "This thing is so easy to use. It picks up every walnut in my yard, and I am so pleased with it. If you have nut trees in your yard, this product is a must-have. No more spending hours bent over, picking up nuts by the handful for me!" 

We researched a variety of yard, lawn, and garden maintenance categories on the Tractor Supply website to find these top-rated tools. Many outdoor power tools have thousands of ratings, so we included plenty of those, but hand tools are often less-reviewed. To allow for variety, we set a minimum threshold of four stars overall, based on at least 100 reviews.
