Start with a category

Six categories, each one a decision the buyer actually makes as a unit. Every one opens with what to buy first and the mistake people make.

How this site works

Live, dated prices

Every price comes from a live data layer with the date it was read stamped on it, so the number you plan around is the number at checkout.

Specs, manuals and standards

Picks are chosen from manufacturer specifications, manuals, safety standards and verified buyer reports — plus published third-party testing, cited by name and date.

A published rubric

Every pick is scored against criteria we publish, so you can see exactly why it won its category before you spend a cent.

One clear top pick

Every category opens with the one to buy for the most common yard, plus the alternative that suits a bigger budget or a tighter space.
