1. A resin planter pot that looks so much like real stone your friends will think you snatched it from a fancy estate sale. Use it to display your seasonal summer blooms or your ever-growing herb garden.

Lowes

Promising review: "This resin planter has a nice finish that doesn’t look cheap or plastic. It’s lightweight, which makes it easier to move around. Its size is nice and big. It would look and function great with outdoor flowers or indoor houseplants. Mine is outdoor on the west-facing deck, which gets extremely hot, and it hasn’t weathered at all in the past couple of months." —ChristyFixit

Price: $32.48+ (available in four colors)

2. An indoor/outdoor area rug, so you can add a huge splash of color to your patio or deck without a huge price tag. To clean off muddy footprints, pasta sauce, or whatever else, just spray it with a hose and let it air-dry.

Lowe's

Promising review: "After I unwrapped my rug and spread it out on my patio, I was immediately impressed with the obvious quality and beautiful colors that made this rug stand out. When I looked closer, the flowers on the rug are woven higher than the rug and seem to pop out as an extension of the pattern. I have received many compliments on the beauty of my new rug. I use the lowest setting on my cordless vacuum to clean it and remove outdoor debris." —amlamb

Price: $110.82

3. A stackable Adirondack chair, because it's a classic piece you'll use for years. It's lightweight enough to move around, so you can always make space for more seats at the bonfire and easily store them away when not in use.

Lowe's

Promising review: "Extremely comfortable chairs! Nice selection of colors and very reasonable price!" —JeffJ

Price: $19.98+ (originally $24.98; available in four colors)

4. Or an upright Adirondack chair that's a little higher off the ground for anybody who wants more lumbar support. Plus, it's got a retractable phone and cup holder, so you'll never have to sit without your essentials.

Lowe's

I bought two of these chairs after falling in love with them at my aunt's house. Everyone who comes over comments on how comfortable and roomy they are. Getting up is a breeze, even for older people or those with mobility issues. I've had mine sitting outside in the direct sunlight for nearly two years, and they look as good as the day I bought them.

Promising review: "It's a very comfortable and durable chair. I bought one for myself, and my wife liked it so much that I had to go back and purchase one for her. The extra feature of a cup and phone holder is very useful and convenient. I heartily recommend this chair!!" —sprinl1

Price: $37.98

5. A decorative bird house, because it looks like a miniature version of your home, and might just turn you into a birdwatcher. While it's super cute, it's also functional and has a clean-out door on the back for easy upkeep.

Lowe's

Promising review: "I love this birdhouse. It is the perfect size, and it looks adorable. The price was perfect, and the quality is great." —Jeane101

Price: $20.98

6. A solar-powered LED outdoor post cap light so you can light up your patio without having to figure out an electric source. I have a version of these leading down my patio stairs and they're a lifesaver when my dog needs to go out at midnight. They look nice, too!

Lowe's

Promising review: "I like these solar lights for a couple of reasons. 1) They come with two different wattage settings for bright or brighter. They last longer, of course, on the lower setting. 2) The plastic prisms cast a nice light pattern on the deck and elsewhere." —BeatlePaul

Price: $11.88+ (available in two colors)

7. Plus, some solar gutter hanger lights that'll light up your house like a castle. Simply attach these to your gutters, signs, fences, doorways, and any flat surface to brighten things up.

Lowe's

Promising review: "Just what was needed to complete a new backyard privacy fence. Have a different model on the corners of the house, and they've held up for years and I love them, too." —Dean

Price: $12.28 for two

8. A patio chair cushion, because who among us hasn't been burned by sitting down in a hot chair on a summer's day? It fits most patio chairs and can really change up the look of your patio without any heavy lifting on your part.

Lowe's

Promising review: "These cushions are just right for our wrought iron chairs on our deck. The bright red pattern really complements our other colors. The cushions are also the perfect height, offering comfort without bulkiness." —Bill

Price: $16.98 (available in five colors)

9. A dining table with an umbrella hole to put on your patio and transform it into the hottest new restaurant in town. Just think of all the slow-paced meals you can enjoy here.

Lowe's

Promising review: "We like this table's classic look and sturdy build for our back porch. It was easy to set up. It seats four comfortably with plenty of surface area in the middle for serving dishes. It also makes a great workspace so we can sit in the open air and work." —Bill

Price: $178

10. And stackable chairs for less than $30 to go with it. They have a rust-resistant frame and can be easily cleaned with dish soap if they get yucky from the elements or, more likely, you drop ketchup or mustard on them.

Lowe's

Promising review: "I got these chairs for my porch. They are solid and sturdy. They will be sitting on the porch year-round, as I have that ability where I live. The chairs do not hold onto water after rain and dry quickly. The chair is sturdy and is able to support large individuals." —DAWV

Price: $29.98

11. Plus, an umbrella to put with your table. This one tilts with the push of a button and is weather resistant. You're about to be spending a lot more time outside under this beauty.

Lowe's

Don't forget to snag an umbrella stand to go with it.

Promising review: "Absolutely love this for our patio table! Easy to put up and take down, and I really like the angled turn." —BrandiT

Price: $39 (originally $59; available in six colors)

12. An electric pressure washer that's so darn efficient at tackling heavy-duty cleaning like windows, patio furniture, and sidewalks, your IG will be filled with before and after shots of your cleaning adventures.

Lowe's

Promising review: "Very nice pressure washer. It has enough power to get the job done, but not so powerful as to remove paint, etc. It is a cleaning machine, but not a stripping machine. If you want to clean something thoroughly without tearing it apart, this will do a good job for you. I used this on my pool deck, and it cleaned all the dirt and grime, but left the paint." —Holtsys

Price: $89 (originally $139)

13. A firepit so you can make s'mores anytime you want. Don't let its small size fool you, this firepit has a built-in system to create bigger fires for you and your friends to enjoy.

Lowe's

It comes with a poker, water-resistant cover, and mesh cover. 

Promising review: "So far so good. This fire pit is above average size, which I love, and it was exceptionally easy to build. The vents along the side of the unit are very helpful for airflow, keeping your fire going. The instructions were well written and easy to follow, and the screen top, fire poker, and cover were nice extras. I do recommend this fire pit." —CMD10

Price: $129

14. A coffee table and sofa setto sit on and sip your cuppa every morning while watching the sun rise. You'll never want to leave this cozy piece, thanks to the thick cushions and armrests. 

Lowe's

Promising review: "This sofa is very nice, easy to assemble, and very comfortable" —Zapato

Price: $449

15. A cedar privacy screen so you can relax without worrying about the neighbors spying on you. Plus, these can be linked with additional sets to section off your yard as needed, and they don't require digging — just push the stakes into the ground and enjoy your private oasis.

Price: $95+ (available in three washes)

16. Plug-in string lights to turn your backyard into an ambient wonderland for less than $25. String these above your outdoor living room to enjoy fresh air long after the sun sets.

Lowe's

Lowe's

Promising review: "Easily fits an adult mountain bike (size Large, approximately 6' long). Plenty of additional room for a trunk rack, some gardening tools, a long board, and other miscellaneous items, and still room to spare. There are some gaps that allow airflow just under the lip of the lid, but still covered enough that no rain has gotten in, even in wet springtime in Seattle." —RK25

Price: $419

21. Apush mower with a rechargeable battery for when your grass needs a fresh cut. Unlike other mowers, this one won't wake your neighbors when you decide to do yard work before work-work.

23. A concrete bench that'll be a permanent fixture in your backyard. Thanks to its heavy construction, it'll withstand any summer storms or winter blizzards that come your way. 

Lowe's

Promising review: "This bench is the perfect size. The curve allows you to place it, and it looks intentional, not just to make it fit. I have mine in a large garden in front of a retaining wall with a concrete little girl sitting on top. It’s just perfect, especially for the price." —Sara
