There’s nothing like cutting your lawn for the first time after a long winter. Now that the sun is shining, it’s time to get back to a consistent yard maintenance routine—and that means everything from mowing your lawn to trimming the edges to cleaning up the debris. If you’re in need of a cordless lawn mower or string trimmer, Lowe’s is running a sale up to $150 off its in-house Kobalt outdoor power tools. The brand, which has done well in our testing, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, so there's a lot of savings to be found.

Turning your yard into a family-friendly oasis starts with a good lawn mower, and right now you can save $100 on the Kobalt 80-Volt Max Self-Propelled Cordless Lawn Mower. As the name says, the model can move itself with a rear-wheel-drive system and variable speed control, making it easier to tackle thick, dense grass. It also has a brushless motor that requires less maintenance than a conventional one.

The deck on the 80-Volt Max Cordless Lawn Mower is 21 inches wide, making it suited for small to mid-size yards, and this Kobalt can mulch, bag, and side discharge. Its single-lever height adjustment brings the blade from 1 3⁄8 to 4 1⁄8 inches, with five stops in between. The battery port holds two 4-amp-hour batteries (included), which together provide up to 80 minutes of runtime. The lawn mower’s aluminum handles also fold, allowing for easy storage.

Once you’ve mowed your lawn, put on the finishing touches with a string trimmer. Lowe’s is offering a $20 discount on the Kobalt Gen4 40-Volt Cordless String Trimmer. Like the mower above, this string trimmer features a brushless motor and a variable-speed control; in this case, the line spins faster the farther in you pull the trigger. It also cuts in a 15-inch path with its dual 0.08-inch line. And a quick-reload head, which features a spool of cutting line that will help you manicure weeds and grass, allows for easy line replacement. Lastly, this string trimmer comes with a 4.0-Ah battery and charger compatible with Kobalt’s “40V Family” of outdoor tools.

Finally, blow away the clippings with $50 off Kobalt’s 80-Volt Max Cordless Electric Leaf Blower. It blows as much as 630 cubic feet per minute of air and at 140 mph; the CFM refers to how much air is moving, while the miles per air refers to the strength of the airstream. Kobalt's model stacks up well against other battery-powered leaf blowers. There’s also, you guessed it, a variable speed trigger to increase or decrease airflow and a cruise control lever feature that allows you to operate the leaf blower without straining your hand. Kobalt includes a 2.5-Ah battery and charger Lowe's claims will offer up to 75 minutes of runtime on the lowest setting, although your mileage may vary.

Caring for a winter-weary lawn is essential to returning it to its best. With the right outdoor power tools, you can get your yard looking beautiful in time to enjoy during the warmer months.
