What is the best garden hose on the market?
Every garden hose brand and model offers different features and benefits. When shopping for a hose, consider hose length, diameter, material, durability, and flexibility, and read product reviews to help you choose the best garden hose for your watering needs. Our helpful team members can also guide you through our selection.
Does the environment impact the type of hose I should buy?
Yes, your garden hose should match the requirements of your outdoor space. For example, a larger garden requires longer and wider hoses for adequate water flow in all areas without needing hose connections, while gardens with lots of trees, shrubs, or flower beds, may need a flexible hose to navigate around the greenery efficiently. If your garden has limited storage space, an expandable hose can be a great option, as it shrinks to a fraction of its size when it’s not in use.
How long should a garden hose be?
To determine the length you need, measure the distance from the water source to the furthest end of your outdoor space. For smaller gardens or patio spaces, a hose length of 25-50 feet should be sufficient.
What diameter should a garden hose be?
The most used diameter for residential gardening is 5/8 inches, allowing for water flow and maneuverability. Garden hoses also come in ½ and ¾-inch diameters, which are often used for light tasks such as watering hanging baskets and small gardens.
