Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
How do I know which planting zone I'm in?
Take a look at the USDA zone map, as planting zones have evolved over the years. Zones with bigger numbers can start their garden earlier in the year. Increase your odds of successful gardening by choosing plants that grow well in your area.
Does The Home Depot deliver mulch?
This year, enjoy free mulch delivery from our stores when you reach a purchase threshold. Our associates partner with a third-party to help you get started on your landscaping project by delivering your mulch in a vehicle that matches your project needs. Small orders will arrive in a car with a $3 fee, medium orders utilize our vans for a $35 fee, and large orders will ship to you in a box truck or flatbed at a $79 fee.
Do you offer self-pickup for mulch orders?
Yes, you can pick up your own mulch. We're also 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. An Orange Apron can load a small or medium mulch order into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bagged or loose mulch, you'll likely want delivery.
Does my mulch get delivered in a car or van instead of a truck?
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 car or van for just a $3 delivery fee. Loose mulch orders, also called bulk or yard mulch, will come in a truck. If you order a specific number of bags, you may get free delivery. That threshold varies from one store to the next, but you'll be able to verify the cost at checkout.
What size mulch order gets flatbed delivery?
When you're ordering pallets of bagged mulch or huge quantities of bulk yard mulch, you'll qualify for flatbed or box truck delivery. Normally, these are Pro customers, landscapers, or serious DIYers undertaking a major landscaping project. There's a minimum pallet order to maximize resources and usually a delivery fee. Orders that pass a threshold may qualify for free delivery.
How do I treat weeds?
Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down a landscape fabric or mulch to keep them at bay. Be sure to get them before the weeds' flowers dry out and drop their seeds. Pull weeds from the root in vegetable gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snaps 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 heavy rubber gloves and a respirator to ensure that it doesn't irritate your skin or your lungs.
Is my grass dead?
It could be, but it's likely just napping during those soaring temps. Cool-season grass goes dormant in the summer. It isn't usually dead — just brown and crispy. Here’s how you can check to see if it’s dormant: If you can easily pull out a blade of grass with no resistance, it's time to plant new grass seed or sod because the grass is a goner. Water dormant lawns deeply and infrequently. Warm-season lawns need water every few days in the summer. Those lawns stay green if they're healthy. We have the lawn care you need for healthy warm-season and cool-season grass.
What's the best time to water flowers?
If you can water at least once a day, close to sunrise or sunset, that's ideal. When it's the height of summer, twice is better. Watering when it's hottest outside means much of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you've got growing: gardens, lawns, and trees. Whenever you water, give all the plants a thorough drink, and don't skip it when it's not the best time. The plants still need water to live, no matter what time it is. Depending on your lawn health, grass type, and climate, you may also want to apply a lawn fertilizer.
Should I fertilize a fruit tree?
Once you've planted your flowers or veggie plants, you'll need to make sure they stay well-fed and hydrated. Choose an organic or synthetic fertilizer that fits your needs and gives your garden a boost. You can even find one intended for your plants, whether you need a vegetable fertilizer, fruit tree fertilizer, succulent plant food, or a general garden fertilizer. Only apply as often as recommended on the packaging. Remember to always water immediately after, as directed. That way, the plants won't be burned by the fertilizer.
How can I keep cool this summer?
When you need a break from working in the yard, shelter under 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 relaxing day. Go back to lounging in the sun when that water-chilled air is ready.
What do you carry for backyard entertaining?
Backyard entertaining is whatever you'd like — it doesn't have to be a barbeque party. If you're focused on firing up the grill, make certain you know how to clean a grill afterward. Many people relax outdoors or cook a meal together in an outdoor kitchen. Whichever path you take for bonding with friends, extend the fun into the evening with proper outdoor lighting and a bug-free yard without pesky mosquitoes.

Set Up For Summertime
As we continue deeper into summer, your garden and landscaping will weather more heat than earlier in the year. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool with irrigation, shade, and proper tending. Just like we can get sunburned, plants can dry out, grass can get scorched, and trees can lose their leaves prematurely. We've got advice to help you, your garden, and your lawn sail through the hotter months with flying colors.
Keep Your Lawn Tidy
As the weeks tick by, the grass seed or sod you planted will grow taller than what's ideal. Get it looking fresh again with a little TLC. Keep the lawn in check with a self-propelled lawn mower and a string trimmer to knock down any tall grass around sidewalks, fences, or buildings.
Trees, shrubs, and bushes climb toward the sun and lose their shape over time. They'll be growing fast, filled with buds before you know it. Prune them to show off their beauty with garden shears and hedge trimmers. It's best to leave major tree maintenance and tree topping to the pros, but you may want to use a pole saw for minor trims and a chainsaw for small trees and bushes.
Care for Your Trees and Shrubs
When you're watering your flower garden, don't forget about the shrubs and trees. They may need less watering than summer flowers or vegetable plants, but they can still dry out in the summer sun. It's not hard to learn how to water trees and shrubs — just make sure you aim the water at the roots. It'll help prolong the greenery and keep it from turning yellow or brown. Also, check for damaged areas on your trees and shrubs. Pests can wreak havoc on your greenery.
Look for leaves full of holes, spots on leaves or bark, or strange raised scars on the bark that look like artistic decoration. When your leaves look like lace, something is eating them. Spots may indicate a number of issues ranging from fungus to bugs. Those scar-like lines on tree bark could mean your tree is infected with borers, which are insects that lay eggs inside the bark and then burrow out after they hatch. Any of these issues should be researched and cared for as soon as possible, as they may ultimately end the life of your tree or shrub.
Grow Your Own Herbs
Get fresh flavors to accent garden-fresh veggies with herb gardening. They're generally low-maintenance. It's easy to learn how to grow herbs indoors, but you can raise herbs outdoors, too. If you grow herbs outdoors, stick to heat-loving herbs that'll thrive in the summer temperatures, and consider a hanging herb garden. Check out our herb gardening for beginners guide for details.
Planting herbs in the ground can be tricky, as many of them — especially mint — are invasive and will take over your lawn. So just keep them in small plant pots on a 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 sand, perlite, or rock chips.
Trees as Natural Shade
Trees are the ultimate natural source of shade, and they can change the look of your yard. Whether you plant a few trees as accents, a few more to bear fruit, or a whole mini-forest, keep in mind this is a long-term commitment. When they're healthy, trees live many decades — and some for hundreds of years. Learn how to plant a tree before you shop — whether you're planting deciduous tree saplings, evergreens, or more mature trees.
A house framed by beautiful trees can seem picture-perfect, but research the specific trees you want before planting them. Consider how far the root ball extends outward, the full-grown size of the trees you want, and how deep the taproots go. Plant your trees far from plumbing pipes, as their strong roots will seek water and creep into piping to get it. As majestic as trees are, it's important to also consider how and where they'd fall if a major storm or disease weakened them.
If you've diligently planned, found trees you love, and know the perfect places to put them, get planting. That way, you can enjoy natural shade and the soothing sound of leaves rustling in the breeze sooner rather than later.
