Ryobi’s fall lineup hits a sweet spot for anyone staring at a yard full of leaves, branches, and overgrown edges. The mix here leans toward tools that make cleanup faster, trimming cleaner, and outdoor chores less of a slog. It also stretches beyond simple yard work, with a few picks aimed at storm prep and power backup when autumn weather turns messy.
One of the standout options is the 40V HP 20 in. Walk Behind Push Lawn Mower, a solid choice for small to medium lawns that still need a polished look before winter. Its brushless motor, folding handle, and adjustable cutting heights make it practical without feeling bulky, and it gives homeowners a few ways to handle clippings depending on the job. Bagging, mulching, or side discharge all keep the mower flexible when grass is still growing but the season is fading fast.
For branches that need a cleaner touch, the One+ HP 18V Pruner brings a light, easygoing approach to trimming. It is built for smaller cuts, but that is often exactly what autumn cleanup needs when dry twigs and dead limbs start piling up. The LED light, soft grip, and bypass blade give it a polished feel, especially when working around shaded spots or tight corners in the yard.
Storm season makes a strong case for the One+ 18V 3-Tool Storm Combo Kit, which goes well beyond landscaping. It bundles a radio, area light, and power inverter, creating a compact emergency setup for outages, weather alerts, and keeping devices charged when the grid goes quiet. That kind of utility matters in fall, when long nights and rough weather tend to show up together.
When the leaves really start dropping, the 38cc Gas Backpack Leaf Blower steps in with enough muscle to handle bigger messes. The backpack design takes the weight off the arms, while the variable-speed control helps match the output to the debris on the ground. It is the kind of tool that makes large cleanup jobs feel less like wrestling with nature and more like getting ahead of it.
The 40V 10 in. Pole Saw is another strong seasonal helper, especially for reaching branches that sit just out of arm’s length. Its extended reach, angled cutting head, and automatic bar and chain oiler make it useful for pruning without constantly moving ladders or fighting awkward angles. That reach matters when shrubs and trees start to crowd walkways, fences, or power lines.
For shaping thicker hedges and taming rough growth, the 40V 24 in. Hedge Trimmer has the kind of control that makes a big difference. The dual-action blade helps deliver cleaner cuts, and the HedgeSweep Debris Remover keeps clippings from sticking around while the trimming is still underway. It is a tidy, efficient way to bring order back to bushes that turned wild over the summer.
Soil work has a place in autumn too, and the One+ 8 in. 18V Cultivator fits neatly into that part of yard care. It can break up compacted earth, refresh flower beds, and prep vegetable patches before colder weather settles in. The compact build and adjustable tines make it a smart pick when the goal is not just cleanup, but getting the garden ready for a reset.
Edging and trimming usually get overlooked until the lawn starts looking unfinished, which is where the One+ 18V 10 in. String Trimmer/Edger comes in handy. It handles those awkward edges around fences, posts, sidewalks, and flower beds, then shifts into edging mode with a quick adjustment. That simple switch gives the yard a cleaner frame without needing a second tool cluttering the shed.
To keep loose debris from winning the season, the 40V Leaf Blower offers a lighter cordless option with enough punch for routine fall cleanup. It is built for comfort and long stretches of use, which makes it a useful grab-and-go tool when leaves are drifting into every corner. The same tool can even help with light snow, giving it a little extra staying power once the weather starts to turn.
For smaller pruning jobs that still need serious bite, the One+ HP 18V 8 in. Pruning Mini Chainsaw brings portability and control into the mix. It is handy for cutting branches, clearing overgrowth, and handling quick trim work without dragging out a bigger saw. The tool-free convenience and compact design give it a sharp role in the lineup, especially when the yard needs one more pass before the cold sets in.
