Promising review: "Great for growing back patches and sections of grass that are bald or not growing. I have used this twice on different areas in the backyard. I pulled up a brick pathway, spread the seed, and watered it per instructions. It grew back nice and lush. I recommend this to anyone who needs to regrow grass." —lpclw

Pro tip: Use this after your yard has received some rain so the soil is soft and the claws can easily penetrate the ground without damaging the claws.

Promising review: "Bought this on a whim and I couldn’t be happier. It is so easy to use, does exactly what it is advertised to do, and really gets the entire root without destroying the lawn. Great product!" —Tony

Promising review: "No assembly required, super easy to put up, and adds so much character to our backyard. It's also very comfortable to sit in. I'm only 5ft tall, so I'm able to sit cross-legged with extra room." —Amazon Customer

Copper Hummingbird is a small biz based in Tucson, Arizona. Nancy Biggins, the founder, worked as a zookeeper in the hummingbird aviary at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, so these feeders are the real deal.

Promising review: "This is beautiful. I ordered two so I could hang one off of the other. Within a day, I had birds flocking to it. The copper is so pretty and looks great. Highly recommended." —Jennifer Serafin

Promising review: "These are great. They are large enough to hold large drink tumblers like a Yeti, they will hold a beer with a thick foam koozie, they will hold a giant Fosters can, and yes, it is large enough to hold a bottle of wine. They are made out of metal and seem pretty durable. Each one is two pieces that screw together, and they have a small tab to help you push them into the ground with your feet. The only thing I would improve is to make the foot tab a little larger; otherwise, they have my stars." —Jamawama

Promising review: "With three dogs, two small and one large, scooping the yard is a never-ending job. But with the Arm & Hammer swivel bin and rake, there is no more bending to pick up the doggy droppings. I am able to easily use the rake to push the droppings into the bag-covered bin. When I am done cleaning up the yard, I just simply remove the plastic bag from the scoop, tie it off, and dispose. I do spray the rake off with the hose sprayer and then clip the rake onto the scooper for easy storage. I really like this handy scooper. It makes a very icky job much easier to handle." —Kelly Eldred

Get it from Amazon for $14.66+ (available in two sizes and styles). 

Promising review: "Good size. I'm 5'4", and I bought it for my 3-year-old and 2-year-old for the spring and summer. I didn't need anything huge; I have a nice-sized deck, and we spend a lot of time on the deck, so I wanted something big enough for them to have some wiggle room to keep cool, but not too big so it wouldn't take up too much room. I also purchased an outdoor grass rug to put under it to protect the bottom of it and keep it from getting splinters (just a suggestion if you plan on using it on the deck). It has a drain plug, so cleaning and getting fresh water is not hard at all." —Majestic 0220

Promising review: "I have a 3-month-old lab that I wanted to start introducing to water on a hot summer day. It was perfect because: 1. He likes to chew everything, and this one can't pop and doesn't seem like it would puncture easily. 2. The sides kind of fold down if he was slowly getting in, but then I could easily reform it. 3. Super easy setup and cleanup. Now I don't have to have a huge ugly plastic pool propped up on the side of my house." —LBella

Get it from Amazon for $21.98+ (available in nine sizes and three colors).

Promising review: "We live in the woods on a lake in Bluegrass Country in Kentucky. The bugs were ridiculous when we first moved here! I bought one of these last spring as a test and was so impressed I purchased two more. They absolutely crush the flying insect population in short order! This spring, we have noticed a huge decrease in bugs, which we suspect is due to the significant depopulation of the breeders last summer. We leave ours on all year round, and some are zapped even in the dead of winter, but during the spring and summer? My gosh! We have to use a leaf blower to clean up under the units nearly every day! Even our nearest neighbor (about 200 feet away) says they've noticed a big fall off in bugs in their yard since we put up our units." —Paul

Promising review: "The only problem I have with this chair is that I only have one of them, and the whole family now fights over it! Seriously, it is THAT comfortable and relaxing. Pretty easy to put together. My husband got it all assembled in less than an hour and then proceeded to open up a beer and fall asleep in it next to the pool. HA! I like to take my laptop out with me and work on it as the movable umbrella shades my screen. Love love LOVE it!!" —Erin S

Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in 16 colors and with or without and LED reading light).

Promising review: "I love the dependability and the power of this piece of equipment. I am a woman in my 60s, and this power washer has been a great tool for me! I use it for prepping my deck before I apply stain each spring. It is also used several times in the summer for cleaning the garage floor and driveway. It's been great for cleaning up my paver sidewalk, front porch, and vinyl siding, too. This machine gets a workout from spring through fall with me. Then, since I live in Michigan, I store it in my basement during the winter so nothing freezes up." —M. W.

Promising review: "I really researched and shopped around before I purchased this from Amazon. I cooked my first pizza on it, and it came out like a pro!! We will be using this, especially during the summer, as it pretty much stays in the triple digits here (the Mojave Desert). I cannot believe it took less than 10 minutes to bake an entire pizza. I recommend that you go to the KettlePizza website to get pointers from some of the celebrity chefs who have videos. These pointers really did help me to cook a perfect pizza!" —Kim Suzanne

Promising review: "Love this inexpensive organizational tool. Tired of seeing toys, etc., everywhere on the deck. We took all of our floats, noodles, toys, and placed them inside this cart. LOVE IT! We highly recommend this." —Larry B.

Promising review: "Excellent! Easy to use and clean up. My outdoor patio is a little rough, and it took a full gallon to cover 200 square feet." —RLB

Get a gallon from Amazon for $37.97 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter, I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren’t new ones!" —Mom@home

Promising review: "Got this on a whim after reading some reviews. I didn't expect it to become the fam's new favorite immediately! Lay back, and you are half in, half out of the water, so you aren't baking from above or freezing below — just what we wanted. It holds your head well out of the water and feels very supportive/stable. I've had it for about a month now and only had to blow it up the first time; the plastic is fairly thick and doesn't lose air through seams or the nozzle. We have a full-body foam float that costs about $120, and it never gets used anymore. Everybody takes turns on this one. Great deal for the price; I just bought three more of various colors. Go ahead and try it." —DIY Guy

Get it from Amazon for $14.50+ (available in seven colors and a larger two-person style).

Each light cycles through red, blue, white, and green.

Promising review: "My pool is so old school and boring that I bought these to liven it up, and what a difference!! My pool went from 'meh' to WOW! The balls are easily inflated by mouth like a beach ball. Once inflated, a few hours in the sun, they are charged and ready to go. They light up after dusk ( it has to be rather dark). There is no manual way to power them on or off; they glow all night long. The changing colors are vibrant and very beautiful. They have a loop at the top if you would like to hang them. They would be magical hanging in a tree or from a pergola. I really liked how easy these were to fill and charge, and I like the solar power and the amazing color display. They make my inner child happy." —J. Matheson

Pure Wood Design is a small business run by carpenter Ömer, who has over 40 years of woodworking experience.

Promising review: "Best idea for a balcony. Really well-made product, and I could not be happier. Heavier and stronger than what you're thinking." —Scotty Smith

Get it from Pure Wood Design on Etsy for $75.46+ (originally $107.80+; available in 22 sizes and 10 colors).

Promising review: " I bought this for my daughter for her birthday. I thought it was so neat, I bought one for myself. I hung it outside of our shed so the wood bees would not drill any more holes in our shed frame. So far, so good. The bees are buzzing away. 🐝" —Christie

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "Got an outdoor can, the kind the mechanical arm on the garbage truck picks up and tips over, with the lid opening by gravity. I placed this on the inside of the lid, near the hinge, to lessen the chances of it being scraped off during emptying, and no flies/maggots! No apparent odor. It just seems to put a big hurt on the fly party that used to be my trash can (litter box contents, remnants of meat, etc.)" —Michael E. Bradley

Promising review: "My pool is awesome when it gets into the 100s of degrees here in California. We decided to grab a 20x20x20 triangle, and holy cow, does it do a number on the backyard! Not only does it keep my pool better-shaded, but it also keeps the sun off of my back patio during the hottest part of the day." —The Tiki Lab

Promising review: "Great set for the price! I needed a smaller chair and table set for my front porch as it is not very wide and this was perfect. Sturdy build and comfortable. Not hard to put together: all pieces were included and the instructions were easy. Can’t wait to sit outside with a cup of coffee and watch the cars drive by." —DEBBIE JACKSON

Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in five colors).

 And when it needs to be cleaned, just hose it off with water!

Promising review: "The cats love to sleep on them, and they do keep the wetter pathways dry under your feet. They last quite well, and although not cheap by any means, they are standing up to cats and people walking on them all day long. They survive rain, sun, and wind. We will be purchasing more." —susan osako

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in six styles).

Promising review: "When I bought this, it was totally on a whim. I was convinced that because it was so inexpensive, it would be a cheap piece of junk! Was I wrong! It does a great job of lighting up the table with the three different settings. And if you turn it upside-down, you can further vary the brightness. (Sometimes, you just want a hint of a glow rather than a spotlight on your face.) I'm very happy with this, especially since I left it out all summer long with no issues. It was hidden under a closed umbrella, but I'm sure it got a little damp with rainwater, and it survived! For just $10, it is such an easy solution for my patio that has no electricity, and therefore, needs something battery powered." —LouiseN

By the way, some reviewers say this elevated bed is great for cats, too!

Promising review: "I am so happy I bought this for my pup!! We hang out together outside, and I don't worry about bugs/ants from the ground getting to him; he loves to lie on the hammock, as I call it, and he looks like a king! The other great part was it took NO TOOLS, and I had it together in under 15 minutes (and I'm not the savviest)." —Mary

Get it from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I applied this product on an uncovered deck, which takes a beating from the sun and rain in the summertime and snow sits on the deck in the wintertime. I've tried several other wood sealers but nothing we have used holds up as well as this product. When it rains you can watch the water bead up and run off so you know that this product is working. I apply this product every summer to my deck to keep it in top shape. I also apply this sealer to the wooden floor of our covered porch and the boards shine like brand new. Probably would not have to apply every year to the covered floor area but I do." —Bubba

Get a quart from Amazon for $14.67+ (available in nine finishes and four sizes).

Promising review: "Scummy water bugging you? I just got this gem of a product last night. Popped it into my hot tub, and from the picture I attached, you can see that in just about 12 hours, this little Scumbug ate up all the oil and filth in the hot tub. The water not only looks better, but smells better too! Highly recommended!" —Mickey D.

It comes with 10 hoses and is designed to clean pools up to 30 feet in length.

Promising review: "I bought this pool cleaner as a quick desperation fix as my $500 pool cleaner died, leaving a green swamp! Talk about easy assembly! Twenty minutes later, it was zipping up the pool, including the walls! I couldn’t believe it; the suction power was incredible! My green pool was crystal clear! What I thought was a short-term fix and a great value for the money is now my go-to pool cleaner. I recommend this for all in-ground pools. It’s a gem! Worth every penny, and it will save you hundreds over expensive cleaners, but more to the point, it works great!" —Steve from Tucson
