After all the leaves have fallen, it’s easier to gauge the health of your backyard plants. Have a small and portable chainsaw on hand to prune bushes, clear branches, or cull chunks of tree that might be growing too far into your property. This cordless, 20-volt Work electric chainsaw weighs a little more than 10 pounds. It's got an ergonomic grip and an auto-tension and auto-oiling system. The 10-inch chainsaw comes with a battery and charger. $115.
What to do with those pesky leaves covering your lawn? Blow ‘em away. This handheld, corded DeWalt blower—it weighs under 10 pounds—can blow up to 189 miles per hour with the included flat concentrator nozzle. The 10-amp DeWalt device also includes a 1-inch-round concentrator nozzle to blow debris out of tighter spaces. $99.
They also have a battery-powered, 40-watt model available for $350.
3. Folding rake
The main problem with having a lot of yard equipment is that it takes up a lot of space. Think about how much room you need for a rake, shovel, chainsaw, axe, and grading tools. This telescopic, steel folding rake measures 62 inches when extended, but only 32-inches when collapsed. The teeth of the rake also retract—from 19.5 inches when open to 7.5 inches when folded up. $21.
These MEKKAPRO leaf scoops and claws—there are two in a set—will help you grab fallen leaves by hand. The plastic claws are 9.5 inches high and 13.5 inches wide. They're like your hands, but so much better. $14.
5. Leaf tarp and container
If your main concern is keeping your backyard clean—and you have another place to dump fallen leaves on your property—forget stuffing everything into plastic bags. Grab a leaf tarp or reusable yard waste bag to haul away your debris.
If you get a tarp with side handles, you can rake—or claw—your foliage on top of the tarp and lug the cache away to the edge of your property (or your neighbor’s lawn). This Rocky Mountains Goods tarp measures 9 feet square. It's UV-treated and can be used as a protective cover for items in your yard. $19.
The Tabor Tools collapsible container holds 30 gallons. It's made of a UV-treated, tear-resistant mesh fabric and comes with two carrying handles. $17.
6. Compostable trash bags
If you’re set on using bags to haul away your leaves, snag some of these compostable UNNI trash bags. They are made of plant starches and can hold up to 33 gallons of waste. These boxes come with 20 bags for $16.
7. Electric mulcher
Why use this 13-amp, electric Worx Leaf mulcher? The blade-less machines weighs just over 28 pounds and uses grass trimmer lines to shred 53 gallons of leaves per minute so they take up less space in your waste bags or compost pile. The bottom of the mulcher holds the bag, so the leaf shreds fall in. $103.
8. Ergonomic snow shovel
If you’re reading this and snow has already fallen, The ergonomic Snow Joe—which won last year’s family shovel competition—has spring-assist handles that make lifting heavy, wet snow much easier—and puts less strain on your back. $20.
