Spring is here in many regions and it’s always a fun time to spruce up your home landscaping. Buying flowers and mulch can take a\u00a0chunk\u00a0out of your monthly budget. \u00a0Here are ideas for saving money on home landscaping projects.<\/p>\n

Sign Up<\/h3>\n

Sign up for home\u00a0improvement newsletters, garden or builders clubs. \u00a0They frequently send out coupons to subscribers and you can use these to save or trade with a neighbor for coupons you will use.<\/p>\n

Space Out Buying<\/h3>\n

Make a list of what your project needs are. \u00a0Don\u2019t buy plants when they first arrive at the store. \u00a0Demand and prices will be high. \u00a0Keep an eye out for coupons, sales and even online daily deals at the hardware stores. \u00a0Some daily deals offer free site to store shipping on items, saving you time and money.<\/p>\n

Buy Perennials<\/h3>\n

When buying outdoor plants or flowers, consider buying\u00a0perennials,<\/em>\u00a0as they are more likely to regrow the next year.\u00a0\u00a0Annual\u00a0<\/em>plants will need to be replanted each season. \u00a0Price compare the two and determine if you want to pay a little more for plants that may or may not regrow each season.<\/p>\n

Form a Project Club<\/h3>\n

Form a project club with friends or neighbors, then ask retailers if they offer a discount for buying in bulk. \u00a0Trade coupons with each other. \u00a0Help each other on projects and save on labor costs.<\/p>\n

Price Match<\/h3>\n

Price match your local home\u00a0improvement\u00a0stores. \u00a0 Instead of driving miles out of your way to get the better price, stick to the closer store and have them price match the other store.<\/p>\n

Buy Online<\/h3>\n

Consider buying online at your local home\u00a0improvement\u00a0store. \u00a0If the price is right and you can have it shipped to you or your local store for free, it might be a better deal. \u00a0Especially if you can use an online coupon code at checkout.<\/p>\n
