Watering the lawn isn’t the most exciting chore, but it is essential to keeping your grass healthy and fresh, especially if you have a large yard. The garden hose that’s right for your yard depends on how often you plan to water, your particular climate and your budget.
For watering large yards, look for garden hoses with a diameter of either 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch and a length of at least 50 feet. The larger diameter allows a higher water pressure, and the longer length lets you roam the yard with ease.
This brightly colored hose resists kinks with a unique polymer blend of materials. The flexible design and 5/8-inch diameter make it easy to water your entire yard. With anodized aluminum fittings, it is long-lasting and easy to use. It also comes in a 75-foot model for extra-large yards.
