Greenworks 9 must-have tools for fall cleanup

Fall yard cleanup can be daunting, but with the right tools and a little preparation, it can become satisfying — and even enjoyable! — chore. Greenworks has you covered with a range of tools that will make the fall yard cleanup a breeze. From mowing to leaf blowing to gutter cleaning, we've got everything you need to get your yard in tip-top shape before the cold winter months. Let's get started!

1. Leaf Blower

Clear off leaves, mulch, light dustings of snow and more with a leaf blower.

Our top pick: Greenworks 60V 700 CFM Cordless Battery Leaf Blower

You need a leaf blower that packs a punch -- and we've got one. Our bestselling 60V leaf blower delivers 700 CFM of power with 170 MPH wind speeds, ensuring you can tackle even the toughest fall leaf piles.

Green team tip: During cold-weather months, leaving dead leaves on the lawn can block sunlight and prevent grass from getting the necessary nutrients. Make sure to remove as many leaves as possible before winter arrives.

Ensuring that your gutters are clean is crucial before winter. Our Gutter Cleaning Kit easily attaches to most leaf blowers or vacuum models for a hassle-free cleaning experience with up to 11 feet of reach.

Green team tip: Frozen leaves and debris in your gutters can cause drainage system clogging -- and wreak havoc on your house and foundation. Clear out your gutters before the first freeze!

5. Hedge Trimmer

Detailed landscaping on hedges, shrubs and small trees.

6. Pressure Washer

Perfect for removing built-up grime from your deck, walkways, exterior and more.

Our top pick: Greenworks 60V 3000 PSI Pressure Washer

Greenworks 60V 3000 PSI portable pressure washer

Pressure washers are the unsung heroes of fall cleanup. Effortlessly blast away summer pollen, stubborn driveway stains and the layer of dusty dirt covering your roof and siding. And don't forget to pressure wash your outdoor rugs -- they'll look brand-new!

Green team tip: There's a nozzle for every job -- make sure you're using the correct one to maximize cleaning power!

7. Dethatcher + Cultivator

A dethatcher removes thatch, while a cultivator loosens and churns soil.

Our top pick: Greenworks 40V 14" Cordless Dethatcher/Scarifier

This compact and cordless dethatcher/scarifier provides effortless operation and maneuverability, while its 14” working path width makes quick work of any job.

Green team tip: Removing any thatch buildup before the first snow arrives is important since it can cut off oxygen and sunlight for your grass. Thatch is a thick layer of tangled organic matter just below the surface of the lawn -- and a telltale sign is brown-looking patches in your yard.

8. Chainsaw

Pruning or trimming trees, shrubs and more.

Our top pick: Greenworks 60V 18" Cordless Battery Chainsaw

Make fall cleanup easier with a powerful Greenworks chainsaw. The steel bucking spikes, durable metal wrap-around handle, and longer runtimes ensure more torque and power and a quieter operation compared to gas models.
