10 Best Garden Hoses in the UK 2021 (Hozelock, Gardena and More)

As you've probably gathered by now Hozelock are by far the market leaders in the UK. While they have a wide range of gear to cater to all different gardens, this auto rewind hose is the jewel in their crown. 

The wall-mounted device automatically reels itself back in after use and can be moved in up to 180 degrees to reach every corner of your garden. Best of all, the premium three-layer rubber hose that locks in place, so you won't have to hold it taut with the other hand to maintain optimum water pressure. 

This gentle sprinkler hose is ideal if you're looking to blanket your freshly fitted lawn in a fine mist. It's equally adept at taking care of compact areas such as flower beds as it is for watering more spacious parts of the garden. 

The hose comes with all the connecting parts to have you up and watering straight away, simply attach it to your tap and you're ready to go. It even has the added advantage of being able to stretch to 22.5 m with the additional connection set!

If you're looking for a slim soaker to snake through your borders, then this little gem from Gilmour will surely do the job. This trusty hose will provide deep watering to plants season after season. You could even set up a DIY irrigation system by burying it under some mulch. 

The hose is made out of 100% environmentally-friendly recycled vinyl, perfect for those that are mindful of the current climate crisis. While it may be small, if you're only looking to take care of a small patch this could be right up your street. 

From high fashion to bike accessories, Italians know how to make high quality goods. As it turns out, this level of expertise extends to garden hoses too! This lightweight wonder from YOYO comes with all the accessories one could ask for, as well as being comfortable to use.

The bright red hose is made from thick rubber that's easy to coil, avoiding any kinks along the way. Plus, the spray nozzle is great for long-range shots, in case you're ever dragged into a water fight. 

This is an ideal hose for dragging across rough terrain such as gravel or paving. Made from reinforced rubber, it has a unique three-layer strength to defend against wear and tear.

If you're buying a hose for the first time this is a great option as the set includes connectors, a water stop and a nozzle. Furthermore, it comes with a 5-year guarantee, which is rather exceptional, especially considering its very reasonable price! 

This perforated flat hose is brilliant if you want a gentle sprinkler for your lawn. Though if you would prefer, you can flip it upside down and it becomes a soaker capable of deep watering plants and vegetable patches too. 

Additionally, it comes with all the connectors required to link it up with other hoses for larger outdoor spaces. Just be careful when setting up to avoid it breaking at the joints. As long as you keep the kids away from using it to power their slip-n-slide, you should be just fine. 

If you're lucky enough to have a large garden then picking a hose that is easy to transport is going to save you a lot of hassle. Thankfully, this hose comes bundled with this super portable wheeled cart to make the chore of watering that little bit less stressful. 

The sturdy cart has a low centre of gravity and a wide base for stability. Once you're done watering, the drum acts as a wheel to wind the hose back in. 

Functional, lightweight and completely flexible, this hose is ideal to manoeuvre around the garden. The flexible tube is simple to store thanks to its expanding and contracting design, which allows it to extend from 5 to 15 meters!

Included with the hose is an eight-pattern rotating spray nozzle that allows for a wide range of uses. Be warned though, over time these expandable hoses often lose their shape. They are also prone to rupture in the heat so don't leave it out in the sun.

This soaker is ideal for those looking to establish or maintain young plants and hedges. Hozelock have specially designed this hose to adequately water areas of your garden without any waste thanks to the addition of a water stop connector. 

Furthermore, this hose allows for multiple extra hoses to be connected, should you require more for a large garden. The only slight issue is that they're somewhat rigid, so it could be difficult to lay if your rows aren't completely straight.  

This everyday spray hose from ESOW has a 3/4 " diameter and 15m length suitable for looking after most average gardens in the UK. It's made with a flexible and durable inner latex core and with a kink resistant construction to avoid tears and leaks.

It comes in a convenient bag to store, and the exterior polyester fabric makes it even more durable. Unfortunately, although the hose is expandable, it needs really good water pressure to extend fully due to the sturdy build.
