Home Depot's Labor Day Deals: Up to 60% Off Outdoor Essentials

For many homeowners, Labor Day marks the end of summer and the beginning of fall. With temperatures cooling down, it's time to give outdoor spaces a facelift before the leaves start changing colors. The Home Depot has launched its Labor Day deals, offering up to 60% off on various products that can help spruce up backyards for the new season.

One essential item for fall is a leaf blower. Yahoo Deals Editor Chris McGraw swears by his DeWalt 20V Max XR 550 CFM Cordless Blower, which offers up to 85+ minutes of runtime and speeds of up to 180 mph. This tool can handle wet, compacted leaves and other lawn debris with ease.

For pruning tasks, a mini chainsaw is a great investment. The Milwaukee M12 5.0Ah high-output battery-powered model tackles branches up to 3 inches in diameter and delivers up to 120 cuts per charge. It's also surprisingly lightweight at just under 5 pounds.

Heavy-duty maintenance requires a pole saw, which can extend up to 15 feet with this battery-powered model from The Home Depot. This tool is perfect for pruning trees before the leaves start falling.
