Freshen Up Your Backyard and Patio with These 22 Black Friday Deals from The Home Depot

Originally published at bhg.com

Entertaining guests outdoors has become a major part of our social lives these last two years. And with the right grill, patio furniture and decor, and lawn equipment, your backyard can be the hottest (and safest) gathering spot for friends and family. If you need a little help transforming your outdoor space into an oasis, The Home Depot has tons of Black Friday deals (with discounts up to 44%) that'll save you hundreds in the process. 

You can start with your patio, adding appliances like the Dyna-Glo 3-burner propane gas grill to bring your neighbors and friends together over burgers and grilled veggies this holiday season. The Laurel Canyon 7-Piece cast aluminum dining set could act as the focal point; it has enough seating for most families and plenty of table space for meals, games, and other activities. Outdoor lighting can add some flair, and this antique bronze hanging lantern is no exception; plus, you can get it for $20 less than usual. For a little extra greenery, place some gorgeous plants around your seating area, like this 6-foot artificial olive tree.

Of course, it won't matter how pristine your patio is if your yard is a mess, and that's where lawn equipment comes into play. Keep your grass well-groomed with this walk-behind lawn mower—currently 20 percent off—and use Green Machine's shaft string trimmer to create clean lines around shrubbery. If your plant beds need a little love, clean out the fallen autumn leaves using this 70-gallon heavy-duty garden leaf and debris bag.

If you're interested in larger backyard projects, you'll need some power tools, and Home Depot has plenty on sale right now. Tool kits like theDewalt atomic 20-volt cordless drill kit, the Makita 18-volt cordless tool kit, and the Milwaukee 12-volt cordless combo kit can help with anything from building a birdhouse to a pergola. If you'd prefer something pre-made, Home Depot also has outdoor shelter systems like this cedar gazebo and this Florence pergola, both of which are discounted and ready to ship to your home.
