Can you feel it? Spring is finally here. Flowers are blooming, the grass is getting greener and we’re all itching to spend more time outside after winter’s dreary days.
The changing of the seasons ushers in new responsibilities, too. Here at Family Handyman, our spring cleaning to-do list is pretty long. We need to prep our yards, patios and garages for the summer months. We’re also eyeing tool upgrades and organizing every inch of our homes. Plus, spring is the perfect time to tackle a new project.
Luckily, The Home Depot is here to help us stay on task—and save big with promotions all month long across most departments. Here’s what our editors are adding to their carts.

Husky Garage Storage Shelving
Holiday decorations, yard tools, toys, pet supplies—the garage can quickly turn into a dumping ground for all the stuff you don’t know how to store. Give everything a proper home once and for all with this 4-tier shelving unit. Husky already makes one of our favorite garage storage systems, and this no-frills rack is convenient for organizing items big and small. Each adjustable shelf holds up to 2500 pounds, and the unit is backed by a lifetime warranty.
8-Piece Painting Kit
Spring may just be our favorite season to paint. Moderate temperatures let you open the windows for airflow, and lower humidity levels allow for proper adhesion. Get ready for all your paint projects with this 8-piece set. It includes rollers, liners, trays and brushes for jobs big or small.
RYOBI String Trimmer and Blower Set
Didn’t quite finish fall yard cleanup? You’re not alone. Luckily, this RYOBI string trimmer and blower set makes quick work of rounding up wet leaves and cutting back spent perennials. Even better? Both cordless tools run on an 18-volt ONE+ battery that’s easy to charge and swap—meaning there’s no need to wrangle extension cords to far-flung corners of your property. We tried a RYOBI trimmer and were impressed with its power.
BBQ Daddy Grill Brush
If your grill has been on the patio all winter, we highly recommend deep-cleaning it before summer. Our Product Testing Team spent hours scrubbing and scouring gunked-up grates to find the best grill brush, and the BBQ Daddy earned our “best mesh” accolade. The heat-resistant head does a great job eliminating burnt-on residue, and it even includes a built-in bottle opener!
Hampton Bay Edison String Lights
Don’t just work in your yard—enjoy it, too! These classic string lights will help set the mood on your patio or around a fire pit once the sun sets. Twenty-four LED lights span a 48-foot cord and give off a lovely warm white tone. Even better? Their shatter-resistant and weatherproof design means they’ll last for seasons to come.
Expandable Pocket Hose
Our editors all agree: An expandable garden hose makes watering a breeze. The lightweight, kink-free design is much easier to wrangle and store than traditional rubber models. We like this 50-foot Pocket Hose featuring three layers of durable high-strength latex, three versatile spray modes and a fast-acting 3/4-inch flow diameter.
Milwaukee Battery Chainsaw
April showers bring May flowers—but a good spring thunderstorm can down trees and branches. Make cleanup easy with this cordless Milwaukee chainsaw. It’s compatible with a M18 battery pack (sold separately) and delivers up to 120 cuts per charge. The 16-inch bar and chain is suitable for cutting moderately large wood pieces. Milwaukee also makes one of our favorite mini chainsaws.
Wooden Raised Garden Bed
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a budding newbie, gardeners of all skill levels will get use out of these wooden raised garden beds. The 33-inch height makes planting easy—no digging on your hands and knees required—and the modest 8.6-inch depth works for most veggie, herb and flower varieties. We also love the built-in drainage holes and included caster wheels for portability.
HOOVER Professional Series Carpet Cleaner
Spring cleaning is in full swing, and we’re eager to kiss mystery carpet stains goodbye. This Hoover upright carpet cleaner will revamp even the dingiest piles, thanks to FlexForce power brushes designed to lift and remove pet hair and debris. Plus, the machine is easy to use. Simply add solution, push forward to clean and pull back to dry.
Traeger Pro Series 22 Pellet Grill
After testing over a dozen pellet grills, our Product Testing Team found Traeger makes the best of the best. This Pro Series 22 model has an 18-pound hopper for all-day smoking and a wired thermometer for the perfect cook every time. Plus, 575 square inches of cooking space provide plenty of room to cook for a crowd. We’re won over with the grill’s sleek bronze finish, too.
RYOBI 2000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer
Chances are winter muck has coated itself on your deck, patio furniture or sidewalk. Clean it off—in the most satisfying way—with this RYOBI electric pressure washer. It has a mid-range PSI for handling moderate jobs and includes wheels for easy transport. Our editors can confirm that once you try power washing, you’ll never want to stop.
Waykar 80-pint Dehumidifier
Rising temperatures bring rising humidity. Keep your basement or other damp space at a comfortable level with this 80-pint dehumidifier. It extracts moisture in spaces up to 5,000 square feet and offers energy efficency.
