Store Hacks

The SpringFest sale is the best lawn and garden event on Lowe's entire sale schedule. If you’re looking for cheap mulch, soil, Miracle-Gro products, plants, pavers, or other landscaping needs, SpringFest is a must-shop sale.

The 2026 sale just wrapped up, but we tracked every single deal so you know what to expect next year. KCL predicts Lowe's SpringFest 2027 will kick off Thursday, March 25, and we're expecting the same 2-wave format to return.

The $2 bags of mulch are one of the best Lowe's deals we see during SpringFest. The $2 bags of soil and $1 annuals are also noteworthy. (And the paver deal is a must-grab — they were just 4 for $1 during the first five days of the sale in 2026.) You'll even find discounts beyond the Garden Center, like savings on grills and top tools.

Here’s what you can expect and everything you need to know about Lowe’s SpringFest sale.

Lowe's SpringFest is an annual garden sale that famously includes $2 bags of mulch, $2 soil, and $0.25 pavers.

We consider Lowe's SpringFest a sort of Spring Black Friday, with deals on everything you need to get your garden ready for the season. Get $2 bags of mulch, $2 bags of soil, plus best-of-the-year discounts on plants and tools and $0.25 concrete pavers.

Historically, the sale ran in April alongside the Home Depot Spring Sale, but in 2025 Lowe's surprised us by launching early, and in 2026 they did it again, starting March 26. At this point, it's looking like the earlier March start is the new normal for Lowe's SpringFest.

KCL predicts the next Lowe's SpringFest Sale will start on Thursday, March 25, 2027.

KCL predicts the 2027 Lowe's SpringFest sale will start Thursday, March 25, 2027, running in two waves: March 25 – April 7 and April 8 – 21. Mark your calendar!

Ways to Hack Lowe's SpringFest Sale

Shop for mulch at Lowe's instead of Home Depot to save $0.33 per cubic foot.

Lowe's spring sale notoriously has the best mulch deals you'll find all year. And their popular 5 for $10 deal on 2-cubic-foot bags of Premium Wood Mulch always makes a return. That's a $1 cost per cubic foot, which is tough to beat, considering all the best mulch sales we track during the year.

For example, Home Depot's Spring Black Friday Sale typically offers the same 5 for $10 deal, but at some locations, it's for 1.5-cubic foot bags of mulch. That gives you a $1.33 cost per cubic foot. So you'll save $16.50 on 50 bags of mulch if you shop at Lowe's instead.

KCL TIP: Always calculate the cost per cubic foot when comparing mulch prices ( the price of the bag divided by its size in cubic feet). Different brands come in different sizes, and this calculation will help you compare costs across brands.

Lowe's has been emphasizing their MyLowe's Rewards loyalty program more and more ever since it launched in January 2024. With the SpringFest sale, they have a handful of deals that are only available to rewards members. You can sign up for a MyLowe's Rewards membership online.

During the 2026 sale, the member-exclusive deals included $2 off Kingsford charcoal briquets, $20 off Harbor Breeze ceiling fans, and 5x bonus points on mulch purchases.

Find the best deals in-store.

The best offers are typically in stores (usually at the Garden Center), but they'll also have select deals available online at Lowe's.com.

Remember that some Garden Center deals are only available regionally.

If you live in a cooler climate, you'll likely see a different mix of deals available at the Garden Center during Lowe's SpringFest. For example, those who live in the South saw the $2 mulch deal in their weekly ad as early as March 19, while colleagues in the Midwest didn't.

Your region will also determine which annuals and perennials will be in stock during the SpringFest sale.

Get 12-pack annuals for just $0.83 per plant.

One of the biggest spring sale showdowns between Lowe’s and The Home Depot is the $1 annuals deal. But Lowe’s takes it a step further — you can get two 12-packs of annuals for $20, dropping the price to just $0.83 per plant.
