The best lawn carts for landscaping, gardening, and other outdoor loading tasks

By

A heavy-duty lawn cart can make quick work of carrying your hardscaping, transporting or planting bulbs, and hauling off those weeds and brambles you’ve gotten under control for another year. Our favorite picks for best lawn carts ensure you get a long life of lawn help and may even make some of your more rigorous tasks go that much faster. Here’s what you need to know.

A lawn utility cart provides you with the capability to move around heavy objects or large amounts of vegetation — either for removal or for planting. It helps reduce trips back to your storage area and ensures your yard work takes less toll on your body from hauling. Let’s take a look at our top choices to get you started.

Best Heavy-Duty

The 40-inch by 25-inch Gorilla heavy-duty lawn cart is a powerhouse tool for ensuring quality lawn work. It features a 1,200-pound hauling capacity and a maintenance-free, poly-lined bed that can stand up to some heavy usage. You have the choice of attaching to a lawnmower or converting it to a handle for traditional cart hauling. Its 13-inch pneumatic tires and a quick-release dumping mechanism round out the features.

Agri-Fab Utility Tow Behind Dump Cart

Best Tow-Behind

This tow-behind cart features powder-coated steel and a 750-pound load capacity for hauling some serious lawn features. Large wheels provide proper clearance, and efficiently designed wheel bearings provide smooth operation throughout the life of the cart. It's easy to assemble and attach, and provides support for even the heaviest jobs.

Mac Sports Folding Outdoor Wagon

Best Compact

If you're doing light work around your yard and need something compact, this folding option from Mac Sports is your answer. It features a 150-pound capacity thanks to the steel frame and 600-denier fabric. Large wheels and a generous handle help with smooth hauling, and it folds up completely for storage.

A lawn cart is just what you need to help all your property maintenance go just a little bit more smoothly. Whether you need something that can haul hardscaping and come back for more or need a light-duty cart for spring planting, our top favorites have you covered! Make things easier on yourself and invest in quality tools.
