The fourth and final day of Amazon's summer Prime Day sale is coming to a close, but there are still tons of shop-worthy Amazon deals to check out, especially if you're on the lookout for backyard essentials. This includes big discounts on lawn care supplies, gardening tools, grilling must-haves and more.
In looking through the deals, I saw a few CNN Underscored editor favorites, as well as Amazon bestsellers with near-perfect ratings. Whether you're in the market for a tilt-head patio umbrella that provides plenty of shade or a new Weber grill, this comprehensive list of the best Prime Day deals has you covered on what to snag for less in these last few hours.
Colwelt Saw-Tooth Lawn Edger
When we asked lawn care experts for their top-recommended gardening tools, one of them highlighted this nifty edger, which allows you to seamlessly create borders in between your lawn and gardens. The edger has a long handle, so you don't have to bend down while you work, as well as a large foot plate so you don't slip as you step down on the base. Bye-bye, backaches!
Jvgoo Garden Hose Holder
A rust-resistant organizer that keeps your garden hose out of the way and adds a touch of vintage charm to your yard? Yes, please! This hose holder is totally freestanding thanks to the five anchor stakes at the bottom, and it can accommodate a hose of up to 150 feet long. At the top, the holder has two hooks for bird feeders, lanterns, bug repellent devices or other accessories.
Grampa's Weeder Stand-Up Weed-Puller Tool

Walensee Stand-Up Weed Puller
If you prefer not to use chemical products for weeding, try this tool instead. It lets you manually extract weeds from the ground without even having to bend down.

Flexon 150-Foot Farm & Ranch Garden Hose
Currently at its lowest price ever, this 150-foot garden hose is practically guaranteed to hold up amid years of use because of its commercial-grade rubber and vinyl construction.

If you prefer a shorter hose, this one is also available in a 100-foot length.
