Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
Which planting zone am I in?
Take a look at the USDA plant hardiness zone map, as planting zones have changed slightly through the years. Zones with bigger numbers can plant earlier in the year. Pick plants that grow well in your zone and increase your odds of successful gardening.
Can I get mulch delivered to my house?
The Home Depot offers flexible mulch delivery options nationwide based on the size of your order. For small orders, we can deliver via car for a $3 fee. As orders get bigger, we switch to a van for a $35 fee. For massive mulch projects, we have a fleet of flatbeds and box trucks ready to deliver to your job site for a $79 fee. Of course, you can always choose our free in-store pickup option as well, and orders that reach a purchase threshold may qualify for free delivery. Not sure how much you'll need? Check out our mulch calculator to get started. Get more details below on mulch delivery via truck, van, or car.
Can I get my mulch order loaded into my truck?
Yes, you're welcome to pick up your mulch yourself. Even better, we're happy to help if you need it. After you buy mulch in-store or online with store pickup, go to the drive-thru or mulch loading zone if your store has one. One of our associates can load a small or medium mulch order directly into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bagged or loose mulch, you'll likely want delivery.
How can I get small batches of mulch delivered?
If you have a small bagged mulch order, you can get it delivered to your door via a store-fulfilled local delivery service that uses third-party drivers. Your mulch will arrive in a regular van or car for just a $3 delivery fee. Loose mulch orders, also called yard or bulk mulch, will come in a truck. If you order a specific number of bags, you may get free delivery. That threshold varies from store to store, but you'll be able to verify the cost at checkout.
What size mulch order gets flatbed delivery?
When you're ordering huge quantities of yard mulch or pallets of bagged mulch, you'll be looking at box truck or flatbed delivery. Often, these are Pro customers, landscapers, or serious DIYers undertaking a major landscaping project. There's usually a delivery fee and minimum pallet order. Orders that pass a threshold may qualify for free delivery.
How do I get rid of weeds?
Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down a landscape liner fabric or mulch to keep them at bay. Be sure to get them before the weeds' flowers dry out and drop their seeds. Pull out weeds from the root in vegetable or edible flower gardens, and dig up the roots if the weeds snap off without them. If you choose to treat weeds with weed killer, find one that's safe for bees, other pollinators, and pets — and wear thick rubber gloves and a respirator to ensure that it doesn't touch your skin or get in your lungs.
How do I fix scorched grass?
The solution for how to get burnt grass green again is easy: Fix the scorched spot with a good long drink. Continue to water it regularly. It should perk up over the course of a week. The game plan for treating grass damaged by dog urine isn't as simple. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replanted in fresh soil with new sod, grass seed, or patch and repair grass seed.
Is there an ideal time to water my lawn and garden?
If you can water at least once a day, during the early morning or in the evening, that's ideal. When it's extremely hot out, twice is better. Watering when it's hottest outside means a great deal of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: trees, grass, plants, and veggies. Whenever you water, give all the plants a thorough drink, and don't skip it if it's not the best time. The plants still need water to live, no matter what time it is. Depending on your lawn health, climate, and grass type, you may also want to apply a lawn fertilizer.
Should I fertilize a fruit tree?
Once you've planted your plants or flowers, you'll need to make sure they stay well-fed and hydrated. Choose a synthetic or an organic fertilizer that suits your needs and gives your garden a boost. You can even find one that's formulated for your plants, whether you need a flower fertilizer, vegetable fertilizer, citrus tree fertilizer, or general garden fertilizer blend. Follow the application instructions and don't add extra. Remember to always water immediately after, as directed, so your plants don't get fertilizer burn.
How can I keep cool this summer?
When you need a break from working in the yard, shelter beneath a covered gazebo or a patio umbrella. If you have sturdy structures like a house or a shed, make your own shade by attaching shade sails and awnings. But sometimes shade isn't enough because it's just too humid out. That's when a misting fan or patio mister can help cool the air and turn an uncomfortable afternoon into a refreshingly relaxing day. Go back to lounging in the sun when that water-cooled air is ready.
How do I create an outdoor oasis for entertaining?
Spending time with friends in gorgeous summertime weather makes the season even more special. But you don't need to do a full patio makeover or create your own patio conversation sets from scratch to do it. Even a minor backyard refresh can make a big difference. New outdoor lounge furniture, rugs, or even outdoor string lights can bring character to a backyard space.

Celebrate Summertime Gardening
As summer stretches on, your garden and landscaping will weather more heat and sun than earlier in the season. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool with proper tending and irrigation. Just like we can get sunburned, grass and plants can dry out, and trees can lose their leaves prematurely. We've got advice to help you, your lawn, and your garden make it through the hotter months with flying colors.
Lawn Repair and Patching
Scorched, or burnt, grass has an oddly shaped discoloration that looks yellow. It happens when a reflective surface shines continuously on your lawn, or plastic or metal sits on the grass and bakes in the sunlight. You'll discover it once you move something that's been sitting out in the yard, like a sprinkler. Mirrors or car windows can also scorch grass when the sun angle is just right.
Water burnt grass well and wait a week or so. You should see the signs of life returning by then. If it requires neutralizing after urine damage, you'll have to replace the grass or use patch and repair seed to fix it up.
Whether you’re doing upkeep on your current lawn or patching the bare spots, keep in mind which type of grass it is and tailor your lawn care to it. Match the grass type to your lawn if you're doing patch repair. When planting new grass, choose a variety that works with the amount of sun your lawn gets. For example, if trees or buildings shade your lawn so it gets dappled sun or partial shade, make sure you plant sun or shade grass or part sun grass that's not meant for full sun.
Watch Your Garden Thrive
Much of your garden's upkeep comes down to balancing sun and water. You'll need both to keep plants growing and flowering. A general rule when watering plants and flowers is to water the roots. A garden hose, sprinkler or sprinkler system, or drip irrigation system can get the job done. You don't need to water or even mist the blooms themselves. Many flowers droop when they get wet, but they’ll recover once they dry off. Succulents are, of course, the exception to basic watering rules, so look up your specific types of succulents to optimize their care.
In addition to watering, keep an eye on the nutrients your plants are getting. Use plant food and fertilizer as recommended. We've even got fertilizers to match the types of plants you're growing so they'll absorb the right nutrients.
Grow Your Own Herbs
Get fresh flavors to spice up meals with herb gardening. They're generally low-maintenance. It's easy to learn how to grow herbs indoors, but you can raise them outside, too. If you grow herbs outdoors, stick to heat-loving herbs that'll thrive in the summer temperatures, and consider a hanging herb garden. Read our herb gardening guide for beginners for more info.
Planting herbs in the ground can be tricky, as many of them — especially mint — are invasive and will take over your lawn. To avoid a yard full of volunteer herb sprouts, keep them in small plant pots on a sunny porch, window sill, or even in wall planters. Herbs also work as a hydroponic garden, which means they don't grow in soil. Instead, they grow in a mixture of rock chips, perlite, or sand.
Vines as Decorative Shade
Plant vines near an arched arbor or trellis so they'll climb it and give you both shade and beauty. Choose vine plants that are native to your area. They attract pollinators and are a good choice for success. Grape vines are a classic option, but they take time to mature, so you'll enjoy dappled shade but no grapes for a few years. Don't forget to match your vine plants to how much sunlight you receive, as not all of them thrive in full sun. As a bonus, many vines put out sweet-smelling flowers with a delightful fragrance you can enjoy as you cool off in the shade.
