The best hose pipes for your lawn and garden in 2024

This reel hose from Hozelock is a great pick if you are looking for a hassle-free option. With a large winding handle for easy manual rewinding. It has a lightweight design and a folding carry handle to be fully portable. With the ability to keep it free-standing or mount it to the wall, it will help you to do all your garden tasks. Plus, the enclosed casing will keep it protected from the temperamental British weather.

Customer review: "Take your time assembling it, if you put the handle on the wrong side (for your needs) it doesn’t come off again and so you will be stuck with it in that configuration. Excellent product and the best price I have seen. I bought another straight away. Everything you need is supplied, full fixing kit, screws and adapters to join it to any outside tap system on your property. Very happy indeed, no more untidy hoses or folds and blockages in the hose itself - just remember to roll it back on with the water still turned on, fully retract the hose and then turn the tap off."

This mountable wall hose from Gardena is a great option with two uses: it can be used as a hose reel for storing a hose on the wall and can be removed for mobile use around the garden. After the water is turned off, you can insert the hose into the integrated anti-drip device to ensure no water comes out. It has been made to be kink-free, allowing for full-flowing water. The set even comes with a spray nozzle, making it a versatile option for washing your car through to tending to your plants.

Customer review: "The Gardena is easy to install, the build quality of all parts is excellent and it worked first time with no obvious leaks. The hose itself is a lot more flexible than our old one, which is good as there was no issue with a 'kink' developing between our outside tap and where we wanted the hose reel installed. We've used it by unrolling directly from the wall mount and as long as it's installed correctly I'd say this is fine, and much neater than trailing across the garden. More expensive than some other similar products, but well worth paying the extra for this."

If you are looking for a garden hose for a small garden or balcony, this Hozelock hose would be excellent. It is made to be compact and enclosed, and the easy-to-manoeuvre winding grab handle will make easy work of your gardening tasks. Additionally, the Multi Spray gun makes it a versatile choice for all your watering needs.

Customer review: "Perfect for a small garden. Easy to attach and remove for an older person to use in a small garden. Very pleased with the purchase."

Needing a budget patio hose reel, complete with storage? Argos stocks the McGregor 10m pipe at a great price. This 10m hose is a lightweight and practical solution to your watering needs. It's long enough to serve most patios and balconies, plus it is a good size for small gardens.

Customer review: "I bought this product around a month ago after reading some brilliant reviews. I am not disappointed, the product does exactly what I need. It is neat and compact so great for storage. The nozzle features have multiple settings which has mean I can use in the garden as well as on the car."

This robust, anti-crush hose from Hozelock comes equipped with weatherproof UV material and frost protection, so you can leave it outside in freezing weather. It is made up of five layers and is designed with an anti-twist structure. Plus, the anti-kink hose pipe will last due to its ribbed design. Hozelock's products also come with a 25-year guarantee, so it should be a long-standing installation in your back garden.

Customer review: "A good, multi-layer, well-manufactured hose but some doubts about long term how resilient it would be and it relies more on recovery than resisting kinks and crushing. Overall I'd probably prefer a harder, more robust hose (like the twenty year old one I am supplementing) - this is still a decent hose but maybe not worth the extra money."

This affordable option is ideal for any garden, thanks to the variety of lengths it comes in. Its braided technology maintains the structure, ensuring water is sprayed into your garden accurately. It is also made from a PVC layer, guaranteeing the hose works in the long run. Plus, the 10-year guarantee will be handy for any issues you run into.

Customer review: "The hose is quite flexible which is generally good, but the downside is that it frequently forms kinks and shuts off the water supply. I would suggest that if you normally wind and unwind the hose on a spool you should perhaps go for a hose with firmer side walls. For use where the hose is permanently extended it's fine."

Hozelock is a great starter set for any garden as it comes with all the adapters and accessories you may need. Designed with five layers of Tricoflex anti-kink material and soft and flex technology, the UV braided hose will ensure durability and protection from frost and the winter weather.

Customer review: "This is the first hose I have bought. Really pleased with it. Very powerful but didn't realise I needed another attachment for a different water flow eg spray which I have since purchased. Nonetheless as well as watering the garden, it is so powerful I have been able to clean up my paving stones too. Would recommend but a hose reel would be helpful as it is quite difficult to put it away tidy."

This expandable hose from HOMOZE is efficient and long-lasting due to its anti-bursting and anti-leaking design. Made with easy manoeuvring in mind, it is lightweight, expandable and easy to store when not in use. It comes with an adjustable spray gun with eight different spray options: centre, flat, jet, cone, full, mist, shower, and spray.

Customer review: "First of all, the length of the hose is perfect. At 50ft, it gives me plenty of length to reach all areas of my garden without having to constantly move the hose around. And when I'm done using it, it easily contracts back down to a compact size for storage back in the shed. But what really sets this hose apart is its flexibility. It is incredibly easy to manoeuvre, even around tight corners and obstacles. And because it's so lightweight, I don't have to strain my arms or back when using it for extended periods of time."

This expandable hose is produced from the highest-quality materials, which offers a kink-free, leak-free and non-tangle hose pipe that will freshen up your garden with ease. Due to its expandable design, it is easy to use and store. Plus, the ergonomic rubber handle on the nozzle is slip-resistant, making it easier for you to control it.

Customer review: "This product is light and easy to use. No wrestling with a stiff and permanently coiled hose, its light weight and flexibility makes it easy to handle and manoeuvre when watering the garden or washing the car. Its expandability gives you a good length when in use and when you're done it shrinks back to a compact unit that's easy to store. Caution, remember to release the pressure and let it shrink back to its normal size before disconnecting the gun."
