4. For the dad who is not a lawn expert and needs one: A custom Sunday Lawn Care plan
Maybe dad doesn’t totally have the magic touch when it comes to cultivating a picture-perfect lush green lawn. Or maybe he just doesn’t have the time! This Father’s Day, get dad a custom Sunday Lawn Care plan and take the work out of yardwork. Sunday is a DIY lawn care subscription that offers a digital analysis of your lawn and a one-time soil test to determine exactly what nutrients you’ll need. We reviewed Sunday and loved that the nontoxic products actually work, are affordable and each box makes the process super easy. While dad will still have to put in a little effort, Sunday makes the process much easier and our reviewer had noticeably greener grass in six weeks.

5. For the dad who really loves his lawn: A top-rated lawn mower
We chose this Honda self-propelled gas lawn mower as our overall pick for the best lawn mower of 2022 for a few reasons, making it a clear choice for a Father's Day gift. It is super easy to set up this mower and the first pull powered up its smooth running engine that was quieter than the other gas mowers we tested. One of the coolest things about this lawn mower is its offset blade design that produces smaller clippings so dad doesn’t have to empty the bag nearly as often. Dad will be able to effortlessly cut and mulch the grass all season long and utilize the gas shut-off valve for off-season storage.

6. For the organized dad: An adjustable tool storage system
If you’re tired of seeing shovels, rakes and every other outdoor tool laying around, pick up this top-rated adjustable storage system for dad this Father’s Day. We placed this metal organizer on our list of best garden tool organizers of 2022 because of its heavy-duty construction and adjustable hooks to hold tools of all shapes and sizes. Although mounting it to the wall might be a little tricky, it will just be a reason for dad to use all his other tools, right?

7. For the dad who needs to water everything: A flexible, leak-free garden hose
For the most part, a hose is something you only replace when it starts leaking. That’s one of the reasons why we love this gardening Father’s Day gift. Dad might not necessarily need a new hose, but when he uses this one, he will be flooded with appreciation (pun intended). The Flexzilla garden hose is our top overall choice for the best garden hoses of 2022 because it is durable, lightweight and flexible. The SwivelGrips make it easy to maneuver the hose around the yard and the flexibility went unmatched in our testing. The flexibility combined with its 75-foot length makes it ideal for watering around trees, shrubs, plants and everything in between.

Yes, these large green claws look funny. There is nothing better than a funny Father’s Day gift that actually works and dad will want to use. These leaf scoops make scooping up wet and dry leaves, compost or mulch fast and easy. In fact, we listed these claws as one of the essential tools to make yardwork easier. The ergonomic design is one size fits all (you might want to throw in a pair of work gloves for added comfort, though!) and they are stackable or can be hung on a tool organizer for easy storage after the yardwork is done.

If your dad refuses to upgrade his old, barely hanging on outdoor appliances, do it for him this Father’s Day. We chose this Kobalt cordless string trimmer as our top overall pick for best weed wackers and string trimmers of 2022 so we think dad will love it. The lightweight but powerful 80-volt trimmer is just over 11 pounds and in our testing, cut through everything with ease. We’re talking vines, small saplings and even bamboo. Give dad the gift of a shiny new toy this Father’s Day and you could get a tidy lawn as a result! Win, win.

13. For the environmentally-conscious dad: A compost bin
Composting is a great way to cut down on trash and create fresh, nutrient-rich soil. Whether your dad is new to composting or is a regular pro, the top-rated Redmon compost bin is sure to please. We tested several options and this one came out on top as our favorite compost bin thanks to the wide opening to shovel in materials, the multiple holes for ventilation and the enormous 65-gallon size. The bin is made of recycled plastic so dad can use his new hose to rinse it off after emptying.

14. For the tech-savvy dad: A smart sprinkler controller
This chart-topping Rachio 3 smart sprinkler controller is a Father’s Day gift that keeps on giving. Dad can easily navigate the Rachio app to set up a custom sprinkler schedule for up to eight different lawn zones. Does your front yard get a ton of sunlight? Dad can set the sprinkler to run as often as he’d like. After a big rain storm, dad can easily skip sprinkler sessions. If dad isn’t a sprinkler expert just yet, the Flexible Daily schedule option utilizes public weather data to determine soil moisture and creates a schedule for you. The Rachio 3 landed as our overall choice for best smart sprinkler controllers because of how easy it is to install and use. The smart home integration is especially helpful—dad can control the sprinkler using Alexa while relaxing inside.
