With the sun breaking through and the weather becoming warmer, we’re all starting to prepare our yards for spending more time outside. Whether you’re out and about sowing vegetable seeds, dethatching your lawn, or removing weeds from your patio, there are plenty of jobs to take care of. And if you use your garden to entertain, you’ll no doubt be eager to get out your best grill and scrub it down with one of the best grill brushes.

Apart from attending to your lawn and tidying your flower beds, you’ll also be thinking about cleaning any hard landscaping that’s become grimy and discolored over the past few seasons. Fallen leaves and general garden dirt are one issue, but if your patio and paving are in a shady location that gets damp, they may be susceptible to algae, mold, mildew, lichen, and moss and will need a thorough clean.
