The Best Deals Costco Has To Offer For Your Home And Garden This Spring And Summer

As the weather is heating up, it's time to start planning all of your spring and summer home-sprucing projects. And there are so many that you can consider. From refreshing your landscaping with new plants to swapping out your faded patio furniture with new sets to getting your gardening storage sorted once and for all, there are a lot of different directions you can go in. And luckily, Costco is packed with all sorts of deals to help you tackle each of those tasks from your to-do list.

The warehouse retailer is known for its bulk purchases, but it also has tons of bargains on home goods. For lawn tools and patio accessories to outdoor dining essentials, it has items that are more competitively priced than other big box competitors, especially if they go on sale. To help start your season off on the right foot, here are some of the best deals Costco has to offer for spring and summer.

If you live somewhere with inclement weather, then you probably know firsthand just how snow, rain, and intense sun can affect a wooden deck. Without regular refinishing, it can look decades older than it actually is. But sanding and restaining can sometimes feel like more bother than it's worth, especially if you have a large space that would take days to tackle. Instead, you can cover up the faded and weathered wood with interlocking deck tiles. This can also work on concrete patios or balconies.

Costco currently sells 12-inch interlocking tiles for $19.99. Called the Golden Select Deck Tiles, each box comes with a set of eight. Made from a wood-plastic composite, they will be better able to withstand inclement weather and won't fade in color as quickly as stained wood. In comparison, IKEA's iconic RUNNEN decking costs $29.99 for a pack of nine in a similar color but made from wood. To install the Costco deck tiles, simply snap them into place. No tools or experience is needed, making this a perfect renovation project you can DIY in a weekend. However, they appear to be available only in-store, so you'll need to visit your local store to stock up on them.

If you're itching to put your gardening gloves on come spring and update your tired landscaping, then Costco will be able to help you do that on a budget. Different locations will have different kinds of plants for sale, but you can find everything from hydrangeas to climbing jasmine to arborvitae. This will allow you to dream up a whole new front yard design, tinkering with things like new living privacy fences or showstopping perennials to boost your curb appeal.

And the best part is that most of them are competitively priced, especially if you compare those price tags to the ones found in nurseries or big box stores. For instance, in the video shared above, Costco's climbing star jasmine costs $15.99 for 2.25 gallons, whereas 3 gallons is $58 at The Home Depot.

As the weather starts to warm up, people start looking forward to spending time in their backyards. Whether that's sipping a morning cup of coffee while watching the neighborhood birds or a glass of wine at the end of a long workday, it's a highlight to stretch out on your patio or deck. However, it might not be as tempting to do so if you have weathered or dirty patio furniture. If the cushions are stained, the colors faded, or the metal frames beginning to show signs of rust, you might not be as inclined to hang out on them –- or invite any guests over to do so. But you can easily fix that with a new, budget-friendly sectional.

The Thomasville Dillard 3-piece Convertible Outdoor Sectional is currently $500 off both in-store and online, though online, you have delivery fees already built into the price. It's currently $1,999.99 and includes a 7-seat convertible that extends into a lounger, allowing you to stretch out while enjoying the warm weather. The seating frame is made from aluminum, which won't rust easily, and resin wicker, which won't absorb water and instead have it bead down it. The cushions are made from Sunbrella fabric, which is water-, mold-, and mildew-resistant. The fabric is also made with UV-resistant pigments, so the color will stay true for years and won't fade after a season or two of use.

As the last frost thaws away, many people begin to plan their spring designs for their entryways. While there are plenty of spring door decor ideas you can incorporate, you can't beat creating a container garden for your front porch or entryway. There is something so eye-catching and designed about having two large planters flanking your front door that are bursting with spring or summer blooms. The only downside is that these planters can oftentimes be expensive due to their size.

Luckily, Costco currently has a deal running on its selection. It has 24-inch Veradek Midland Planters for $27.99 in-store, which come with a shelf inside, allowing you to lower or raise it depending on how tall your potted plant is. It's also made from high-density polypropylene, which means it's weather-resistant and can withstand temps from -20 to 120 degrees, allowing you to keep it outside all year-round if you wish. Similar black rectangle planters cost $34 at places like The Home Depot, and they cost $62.99 on Veradek's official website, making this an affordable steal.

Whether you love firing up your Big Green Egg and hosting weekly barbecues or enjoy throwing outdoor dinner parties on your patio, there are certain things you'll want to invest in to make a memorable tablescape. While you can source Instagram-worthy tablecloths and dinner plates from your favorite specialty stores, Costco can help you save on your dining vignette budget by providing budget-friendly drink dispensers. Rather than plopping down unsightly plastic orange juice bottles or passing out plastic water bottles, you can decant them into glass drink dispensers that guests can help themselves with. And the warehouse retailer has an attractive glass-and-acacia option you can snap up.

Housing 8.3 liters, it has an acacia wood stand and lid, as well as a wide stainless steel spigot that allows you to fill up your glass quickly. Made with quality materials like glass, wood, and stainless steel, it's a steal at only $22. In comparison, a similar glass and acacia wood piece costs $50 in big box stores like World Market.

If you're new to gardening, you know that the process takes lots of trial and error. And while you might have a set routine for taking care of your perennials or trimming your shrubs into shape, you might be curious about planting more ornamental flowers to jazz up your landscaping, like calla lilies or tulips. If that's the case, then Costco has a deal on bulb assortment kits that will help you venture into that. 

Sourced from Longfield Gardens, there are various kits you can get, all priced at $13.99. However, the number of bulbs you receive varies with what kind of flower you choose. For instance, if you want to plant cannas, you get eight bulbs, but if you'd like to try your hand at calla lilies, you get six bulbs. On the other hand, acidanthera comes with 100 bulbs. Each kit includes detailed planting instructions based on your Hardiness Zone, plus QR codes that link to care guides. These kits are a better deal for hobbyists than serious gardeners due to the amounts of bulbs per package, but it's a great bargain if you've been looking to try more involved gardening but didn't know how to get into it.

If your garden tools and potting gear have been taking over your garage and creating disarray, it might be time to invest in a dedicated shed. This will allow you to break out those tools from the rest of your home improvement gadgets and keep them handy in the backyard, close at hand. And Costco typically has a great deal on such sheds.

For instance, the Lifetime Resin Outdoor 8' x 12.5' Storage Shed is currently $300 off, clocking in at $1,199.99. This online price also includes delivery to your front door, and it's $200 cheaper than stores like The Home Depot and Amazon, which sell the same exact shed for around $1,500. This particular model is 90 square feet and made from high-density polyethylene, making it weather-resistant. It's steel-reinforced and double-walled, ensuring it has a sound construction. It also has a lock and one shatter-proof window, allowing you to store your tools without worrying about theft.

Spring is well known for its yo-yo-ing weather. One day it's blazing warm, making you think that summer is right around the corner, and the next the temperatures plummet, forcing you to grab your parka before heading out to work in the morning. That means you're likely to get chilly evenings more often than not, which can make it tricky to unwind on your patio or deck. However, you can make those nippy nights a non-issue with the help of a patio heater. Simply fire it up and enjoy your glass of wine or a hot cup of tea under a warm glow.

Costco's Fire Sense Patio Heater is a great deal for such a purpose. Currently $30 off online, it clocks in at an affordable $124.99, and that includes shipping. It has 46,000 BTUs, which can comfortably heat around 18 feet. And while it runs on propane, it has an electric ignition, which means you don't have to mess around with matches or lighters. It's also made with powder-coated steel to make it weather- and rust-proof. It's one of the best patio heaters you can find at Costco. Plus, similar Fire Sense models with the same BTUs go for around $180 at big box stores like Lowe's and Walmart, making this a steal.

If summer is underway and you notice your yard is consistently looking messy, then you might need a tidy way to wrangle the clutter. Whether you have kids' toys strewn about, gardening aids left out on the grass, or random decor that you keep meaning to put away but forget, it all needs a concealed place to live. Enter the Mirador Storage Box.

This powder-coated metal storage box has a 205-gallon capacity, which will allow you to store everything from pool toys to couch cushions. It has an attractive, sleek black design with a wooden handle, making it a stylish addition to any deck or patio. It also has optional castor wheel legs if you want to move it around your yard, or you can switch them out for stationary legs if you'd prefer the unit to sit put. It's currently $60 off, clocking in at $339.99, which includes shipping. For context, similar black storage boxes with the same storage capacity range from $380 to nearly $500, making this a solid purchase.

As the snow begins to melt and the yard starts to green, all the debris collected throughout winter begins to show. While you can rake it all clean, a faster and more efficient way to tackle the mess is with a leaf blower. With a push of a button, you can round up all of the brown leaves and broken twigs in one pile and have your garden ready for all of the spring planting you have planned.

Costco currently has a great deal on Greenworks 80V 800CFM Brushless Leaf Blower, which comes with a battery and charger. It has been lowered by $50, clocking in at $239.99, which includes shipping. This powerful but compact tool blows air at 200 mph to round up the most stubborn of wet leaves, and since it runs on battery, it's twice as quiet as a gas counterpart. It also comes with a shoulder strap to make carrying it much more convenient, and it has an additional concentrated flat nozzle in case you have to blow air at a specific area. This nozzle is a Costco-exclusive, getting you more bang for your buck in the purchase.
