May is here — and it’s go time.
For lawn and garden retailers, May isn’t just another month. It’s one of the most critical periods of the year, packed with opportunity — and competition. With Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, and the full bloom of spring bringing customers outdoors, it’s essential to have your store fully stocked, refreshed, and ready to meet demand.
At Arett Sales, we’re here to make sure you’re not just keeping up — but thriving.
Stock Up on the Essentials
This is the month when customers want it all — and fast. Ensure your shelves are loaded with high-demand items, including:
Annuals, vegetables, and herbs ready for planting
- Hanging baskets and patio planters for quick, giftable purchases
- Bulk mulch, soils, and stone for landscaping projects
- Fertilizers and lawn care products to keep yards lush and green
Arett Sales partners with top-tier brands to deliver exactly what your customers are looking for. Plus, our fast turnaround times mean you can replenish inventory quickly as products fly off the shelves.

Landscaping installations (think bulk mulch, stone, soils)
- Patio and outdoor living upgrades, including fire pits and seating
