I became a first-time homeowner at age 27. Okay, technically it was a co-op apartment, but the mortgage was all mine — and the place itself was a fixer-upper. The neglected kitchen, in particular, was begging for a full renovation, something I was clueless about. But the timing was perfect; I soon started a job as an editor at a home-improvements magazine, where I learned about cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring and beyond. And while my knowledge grew by leaps and bounds, my budget was still very limited back then. So I also adopted the golden rule of shopping for supplies: wait for seasonal deals like the ones at Home Depot's Memorial Day sale, which runs through May 28.
If you're in a similar boat right now — or you're just gung-ho to get your home summer-ready — look no further than Home Depot's Memorial Day sale, which includes bestsellers from big names like Ryobi, Dewalt and Milwaukee for less than $100. Start with a backyard spruce-up to lay the groundwork for summer entertaining. Home Depot has lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and patio furniture for up to 40% off — and a smokin' $230 off a game-changing Traeger grill that we just named "the best pellet grill of 2025." Then kick up your curb appeal with a top-rated pressure washer for 30% off and Earthgro mulch that's down to just $3 for an 80-pound bag. Your facade and foundation garden will thank you.
Look, home maintenance is a major expense (the average homeowner shells out up to $10,000 a year on it!), but discounts this hot can help you cut corners while protecting your investment — and that upkeep can pay off handsomely down the road. Check out the full list of Home Depot's Memorial Day sale before summer sneaks up on you!

There are 70 drill bits in this 55%-off set by Milwaukee, so there's bound to be one for whatever project you've been putting off all year. But they're not your run-of-the-mill bits. They feature a technology called Shock Zone, which means they hold up well under serious pressure.
As a bonus, they come in an easy-to-organize, transportable case and all have wear guard tips that protect them for life, so you won't ever need to replace your bit set again.
Need to replace the entire drill? Upgrade to a Dewalt — it's one of the best names in the game. This top-rated pick operates at two speeds and has 16 clutch settings, which means you can control the torque, or twisting power. The cordless power tool also comes with an ergonomic handle, a carrying case and two 20-volt batteries — all for less than $100.
Thousands of shoppers say this powerful gadget is their go-to drill, with one even saying it goes through "like a knife through butter."
Traeger put wood pellet grills on the map, and the brand has developed a cult following. Wood-fired cooking gives meats a smoky flavor that Traeger devotees love, and the system is pretty much set-it-and-forget-it, so you can't really mess up.
This favorite, now over 30% off, has many features the brand is famous for, like precise temperature control and porcelain-coated grill grates for easy cleaning. But it's also a multitasking powerhouse with the ability to grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise and barbecue all in one.
Yahoo Home and Garden Writer Kristen Granero, who tested the grill, says: "This roomy model in particular boasts 884 square inches of prime cooking real estate — including two tiers of porcelain-coated steel grates — for housing 40 burgers, eight chickens or seven racks of ribs, plus an 18-pound pellet hopper capacity so you don’t need to worry about running out of fuel mid-progress."
It's impossible not to feel laid back in an Adirondack chair, a type of seating first designed more than 100 years ago for that exact purpose: relaxation.
This low-profile chair is made of sturdy plastic that looks like real wood and can support up to 350 pounds thanks to a wide back and seat. It's also treated to be completely weatherproof. Plus, it folds up! The perfect outdoor chair if I do say so myself — and 30% off in black.
If you have $3 to spare, you can have the best-looking garden on the block! This 80-pound bag of brown mulch helps conserve soil moisture, suppresses weeds and maintains its rich brown color for up to a year, giving your garden beds a polished look.
It's made from forest products, free from construction debris, and safe for use around trees, shrubs, flowers, and vegetables. Applying a three-inch layer not only enhances curb appeal but also supports plant health throughout the summer.
Curb appeal is your home's first impression, and a washed-up, sparkling facade is one of the most impactful features — it's like washing the walls, but on the outside of your house. A power washer is almost a necessity for cleaning up siding and brick. Plus, it works wonders on concrete sidewalks and driveways and wooden decks, too.
This one by Karcher has nozzles that attach quickly and easily, dual detergent tanks and a boatload of power. The 30%-off machine might be the best $280 you spend this year.
Did you know that Americans use a collective 800 million gallons of gas per year on power tools to maintain the landscapes of their home? This cordless electric mower is a way more efficient alternative to traditional gas mowers — and it happens to be more powerful, too.
And if you have a particularly lush lawn, this Ryobi machine will kick into turbo mode to tackle it. It runs for 45 minutes on a single charge, so you can cut the grass in one session, then kick back and enjoy your immaculate lawn. Looking for something that self-propels so you don't need to push it? While not on sale, this editor-tested model is a fan favorite.
You don't need topiary-level skills to maintain a well-manicured landscape, but tidying up hedges that have grown wild over the winter can give your home a high-impact makeover.
This Ryobi cordless hedge trimmer is less than $100, and like many of the brand's electric products, it's more powerful than a gas trimmer. Its sturdy steel blades and top-notch performance will have you feeling like a professional landscaper. The only caveat is you'll have to get a battery separately.
If clutter-busting is the summer-izing chore your yard needs most, this 200-gallon storage box is the solution. Toss all your yard and garden accessories in this weatherproof, sun-resistant container, and they'll be protected from anything.
In fact, this deck box is so good-looking it can easily be part of the outdoor decor — and if you prefer to use a padlock, it has a clasp for that, too.
Electric saws can be quite an investment. This bestseller by Milwaukee is currently $200 off. Unlike some other electric saws, this one has a compact design that gives you better control. It also has enough power to cut through hardwoods and comes with everything you need, including a high-output battery and charger.
Its battery gives you plenty of runtime, and it's light enough to use all day without wrecking your arms. Prune trees, clear brush and work your way through winter's overgrowth with ease.
Got an empty corner of the yard or a bare front porch that could use some finessing? A conversation set is the perfect patio vignette— especially when it's 40% off.
This wicker option includes a table and two cushioned arm chairs with rust-resistant frames and fade-/stain-resistant fabric — perfect for perpetual hosts and anyone who doesn't have space to store their furniture when it rains.
