Our top 6 picks from Home Hardware can be used in so many ways for a variety of lawn care options! For us, this Spring we are focusing on fixing “bald spots” in the lawn due to backyard projects we had taking place earlier this year.

A healthy lawn can take a few seasons to achieve, and once you’ve hit that level of golf-green status, you’ll want to continue to maintain your healthy lawn. There are so many benefits to working on your lawn, not only will you have a lush, soft space for the kids and pets to play on, but the actual process of working on your lawn can be very therapeutic and enjoyable!

Tip: If you ever have any questions about your lawn care projects, the team at Home Hardware are experts and ready to help.

They helped me navigate the correct lawn care items I needed for our front yard! If you need help, just ask; they’ve got the answers!
