17 Gifts for a Dad who likes Yard Work
These clever gifts for your dad are sure to make him smile.
1) Lawnmower Sketch T-shirt
I like the look of this shirt. It’s a perfect shirt for the dad that likes to do yard work and mow.
- available in several different colors on Amazon
2) Lawnmower Design Coffee Mug – “This is how I roll”
Is this a fitting saying for your dad that loves yard work?
Then this 11 ounce coffee mug will be a great way for him to start his day….before he mows of course.
(Note I had another coffee cup about being a “lawn whisperer” but it doesn’t appear to be available anymore.)
3) Two-Wheeled Wheel Barrow
A two-wheeled wheel barrow like this will allow your dad to move stuff around the yard, and not have to try and balance it on one-wheel.
What’s cool is that you can push this like a standard wheelbarrow, or pull it behind you like a wagon.
Below is a closer photo of the Gorilla Cart two-wheeled wheelbarrow.
This highly-rated yard wagon can hold up to 300 pounds, and its air-filled tires allow it to roll over rough terrain.
4) Work Gloves
Help protect your dad’s hands with a good pair of work gloves.
I hate getting a pine needle stuck under my nail, and your dad probably hates it too.
These popular and well-rated work gloves are available on Amazon in several sizes from extra small to 2XL.
5) Cordless Lawn Mower (EGO 56 volt)
If your dad is still huffing in the exhaust of a gas-powered lawn mower do him a favor and check this out.
As lithium-ion battery technology has improved, so have the cordless lawn mowers.
- this is self-propelled
- mows and mulches
6) Telescoping Extension Ladder (12.5ft)
Telescoping extension ladders are great because they condense in a small package (as shown above), aren’t as cumbersome as other extension ladders, and make it possible to get up high to cut tree limbs, hang Christmas lights or clean the gutters, or do a thousand other household chores.
The maximum weight capacity for this particular ladder is 250 pounds.
- not all yard work is done on the ground
- this extension ladder is 12.5-feet tall (you can get them taller if needed)
- it is a popular option made by the company Yvan
7) Knee Pads
We don’t always want to, but yard work often requires getting on our hands and knees to do some dirty work.
These Thunderbolt knee pads will help protect your dad‘s knees whether he is gardening, fixing a lawn mower, changing car tires, etc…
8) Weather Station
Sometimes you have to do yard work regardless of the weather, but a handy weather meter like this at least lets your dad know how to dress for the weather. We have a weather station similar to this one and we look at it daily.
- remote signal goes outside and sends data to the screen (which is indoors)
- the indoor screen can be plugged in or ran off battery
- the remote signal runs off batteries (not included)
9) Rain Water Downspout Diverter
A downspout diverter like this one allows your dad to harvest rain water and use that to water his plants or garden. This diverter fits a 2″x3″ gutter downspout and then you collect the water in a separate barrel.
- good gift for the conservation-minded dad

10) Garden Bucket Tool Organizer
These clever tool belts don’t strap around your waist…they strap around a bucket. It makes it easy and convenient for him to carry around his small garden tools.
- fits most 5-gallon buckets
- even though the picture shows hand tools, it can work well with small garden tools too
11) Fiskars Stand Up Weeder
With a stand-up weeder like this your dad can weed his yard without having to bend over.
- we have one and it makes weeding way easier on the back
- but to make it easier you may want to wait until after it rains or you irrigate to loosen the soil
12) “Dirt to Soil” book by Gabe Brown
This is a well-rated book about regenerative agricultural and how a North Dakota farmer converted his farm from a failing conventional agricultural farm to a regenerative farm (and how his crops and profits bloomed).
- your dad who likes yard work may discover that he may NOT need to be doing some of the things he is doing
- the author Gabe Brown was featured in the Netflix documentary “Kiss the Ground”

13) Hearing Protecting Bluetooth Headphones
If your dad is working with lawn equipment then there is noise involved.
Help protect your dad’s hearing with these noise-reducing headphones.
- they reduce noise, AND connect via Bluetooth to smartphones
- your dad can listen to podcasts, audiobooks, or music while doing yard work
14) Dickies Work Pants (Carpenter jeans)
Get your hard-working dad some pants designed for hard workers. These Dickies carpenter jeans are available in several different colors.
15) Long-handled Grabber
These are super handy around the yard and home.
You can pluck pine cones and sticks off the ground without bending over.
And they’re great for picking up trash that has blown into your yard.
16) Leaf Scoops (by Gardenised)
These big leaf scoops will make it easier for your dad to clean up the yard waste.
Instead of trying to pick up the leaves using a rake and shovel, you can use these big bear paw-looking discs to scoop up the leaves.

Because yard tools are great…as long as you can find them. And this organizer from RubberMaid will help with that.
