However, if you're planning on having any guests over for barbecues or garden parties over the coming days, you may want to give your outside space a bit of a spruce-up.
And although you may think that the tools needed to keep your garden in tip-top shape will be pricey, Lidl's Parkside Japanese Pull Saw With Angled Handle proves otherwise.
The bargain buy will set you back by just £4.99, making it the perfect product for penny pinchers.
The nifty gadget can help you trim back overgrown hedges, thanks to the flexible saw blade with coarse and fine teeth.
The pulling motion allows you to make clean, precise cuts with minimal effort, and the saw blade can be replaced at the touch of a button, without any tools.
The product also has an ergonomic handle, and a soft grip, so you can chop hedges with comfort.
The product is available in stores now, as part of Lidl 's Middle Aisle products.
It can only be purchased by those over 18, and according to the Lidl website, is not available in all stores.
You better head down to your local Lidl to snap yours up quick though since, as with all Middle Aisle products, once they're gone, they're gone.
If you're lawn is looking green and patchy this spring, Lidl also has a handy gadget to get it looking lush, for under a tenner.
Trying out Lidl's new weeding tools
The retailer's Parkside Rotating Sprinkler is scanning for £8.99 and comes complete with a handful of nifty add-ons.
It is stocked with a total of 45 precision nozzles and a fine filter as dirt sieve
Plus, it's weather- and UV-resistant, so even if you leave it outside it won't suffer any serious damage.
However, shoppers will have to wait until May 15 before they can get their hands on it.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
Rival Aldi has also stocked up on bargains to make your garden the envy of your neighbours, such as an Electric Weed Killer for just £14.99.
It works as a hot-air blower which gets three jobs done as one single gadget.
On the Aldi website it states: "Grab yourself a multi-functional hot-air blower which performs as a weeder, BBQ lighter and hot air gun for removing paint and varnish to conquer all those garden tasks this year."
The 2000-watt machine has no harmful chemicals as it simply spits out hot air, killing the weeds.
It has a swivel handle, three temperatures, and five heating nozzles included.
The cheap new tool appeared in Aldi stores on May 8, so those looking to pep up their patio can pick one up today.

Thousands of taxi drivers and operators are facing their first licence fee increase in more than a decade as a council deals with a backlog of of Wolverhampton Council is proposing a rise of up to two thirds in the sums to be paid for new or renewed licences, to cover compliance and admin authority's licensing department looks after about 50,000 drivers according to documents, with the vast majority operating outside the regulatory committee is meeting on Wednesday to decide on the increase, which would affect licenses issued in both south Staffordshire and Wolverhampton. Under the plans, private hire vehicle operators with four vehicles or fewer could see renewal fees go up from £150 to £250 for a one-year licence - a rise of 66%.There would be a £20 rise to £69 in the sum to be paid by new hackney carriage and private hire drivers for a year's licence.A three-year licence for a new driver would increase from £98 to £128, while yearly fees paid for a vehicle are set to go from £125 to £175. 'Excellent value' A report to the committee stated "economies of scale" reflecting Wolverhampton's "significant growth over the last decade from an authority with 1,500 to 50k drivers" had previously kept fees increased compliance and the need for additional checks meant they were "required to increase for the first time since 2011".The authority, which also undertakes taxi licensing for South Staffordshire Council, had to use £493k of reserve funding on the service between 2024 and 2025."This fee increase is anticipated to prevent any overspend this year," the report said. "Additional resource requirements to tackle the backlog of applications and higher than usual internal recharges applied in March 2025 have meant that the fees require recalculation," it added. The report stated the revised fees still represented "excellent value for money" and pointed out that sums in 2011, adjusted for inflation, were to consultation responses, the charges for driver licences would apply immediately for operators, and to vehicle licenses from 10 council revealed last year 96% of licences it had issued were for drivers from outside the city.
