Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]  
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS DISCONTINUED OPERATIONSInternational BusinessPrior to August 31, 2017, the Company operated consumer lawn and garden businesses located in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom (the “International Business”). On August 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of the International Business. As a result, effective in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company classified its results of operations for all periods presented to reflect the International Business as a discontinued operation. The sale proceeds were net of seller financing provided by the Company in the form of a $29.7 loan for seven years bearing interest at 5% for the first three years, with annual 2.5% increases thereafter. The seller financing loan receivable is recorded in the “Other assets” line in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 2, 2021. The transaction also included contingent consideration with a maximum payout of $23.8 and an initial fair value of $18.2, the payment of which depends on the achievement of certain performance criteria by the International Business following the closing of the transaction through fiscal 2020. The Company has not yet established whether the International Business has achieved the performance criteria for fiscal 2020 and the recorded contingent consideration, which is based upon the best information available to the Company, will be adjusted once the results are determined. If the Company determines that the International Business has not achieved the performance criteria, the Company would be required to record a charge of approximately $18.7 in the “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to write-off the contingent consideration receivable.
