Ace Hardware Embraces Groundhog Day with YardRx Launch

On February 2, 2026, Ace Hardware returns to the iconic celebration of Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Joining the festivities for a second year, Ace one again proudly assumes the role of the Official Yard Care Sponsor. This year marks the continued success of its innovative service, Ace YardRx, aimed at helping homeowners navigate their lawn care needs with personalized attention.

Ace YardRx is a groundbreaking subscription service crafted to simplify yard maintenance. By delivering seasonal product bundles directly to customers, the service alleviates the guesswork often associated with lawn care. As Punxsutawney Phil ventures out to predict the next six weeks of winter, Ace reminds everyone that now is the ideal time to plan for the upcoming spring season.

Revolutionizing Lawn Care

According to Kim Lefko, Chief Marketing Officer at Ace Hardware, Groundhog Day is all about looking forward and gaining momentum despite the unpredictable nature of the weather. She emphasizes that Ace YardRx offers a simple and reliable plan for homeowners. With a tailored approach, Ace YardRx friends homeowners with the products and insights necessary to take on the challenges of spring lawn preparation.

Phil, the beloved Groundhog, who symbolizes the event, adds a humorous yet insightful take on yard care. "I spend a lot of time close to the ground, so I know how important it is to take care of it," Phil stated, emphasizing the importance of precision timing in lawn care. Ace YardRx aims to provide timely support to ensure that yards receive exactly what they need at just the right time.

How Ace YardRx Works

The service is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it generates customized yard care schedules that take into account the customer’s location, yard size, grass type, and preference in application methods. This results in a personalized prescription designed for optimal yard health. Key features of the service include:

• - Personalized Prescriptions: Tailored recommendations that account for local conditions and trusted brands.
• - Seasonal Deliveries: Products are delivered when they will be most effective, ensuring maximum results.
• - Free Delivery: Convenience is a priority, with products shipped directly from local Ace Hardware stores.
• - Year-Round Value: Offers consistent savings and trustworthy results for a healthier lawn.

Building on the enthusiasm generated in its debut year, Ace YardRx expands its offerings, introducing new products from trusted brands including Spruce, Fertilome, and Zevo. This provides an even wider selection of lawn care products to meet the needs of homeowners.

For Ace Rewards members, the service offers three curated deliveries starting with the growing season, aligned to seasonal changes specific to each lawn's requirements. Customers can expect deliveries focused on weed control, fertilization, lawn pest management, and seeding, with the flexibility to customize according to individual concerns such as fungus issues.

Furthermore, the subscription model offers added cost savings, allowing customers to subscribe and save an impressive 20% on their year-round custom yard care plans, helping to ensure they remain on-track throughout the growing season.

Conclusion

As Ace Hardware proudly returns as the Official Yard Care Sponsor of Groundhog Day, the partnership with Punxsutawney Phil serves as a beacon for homeowners eager to start planning their spring preparations. As Phil's prediction rings in another winter period, it encourages consumers to reflect on their yard maintenance strategies. The integrated marketing approach allows Ace and its YardRx service to guide homeowners in discussions about spring readiness, seasonal care, and how to best sustain their yards through the changing weather conditions.
