This year, enjoy free mulch delivery from our stores when you hit a purchase threshold. Our associates partner with a third-party to help you get started on your outdoor 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 flatbed or box truck at a $79 fee.

Yes, you're welcome to pick up your own mulch. Even better, we're ready to help if you need it. After you purchase mulch online with store pickup or buy it in-store, go to the drive-thru or mulch loading zone if your store has one. An associate can load your small-to-medium mulch order directly into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bagged or loose mulch, delivery is easiest.

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 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. However, you'll be able to verify the cost at checkout.

When you're ordering huge quantities of bulk mulch or pallets of bagged mulch, you'll qualify for flatbed or box truck delivery. Often, these are serious DIYers, Pro customers, or landscapers working on a major landscaping project. There's usually a delivery fee and minimum pallet order. Orders that pass a threshold may qualify for free delivery.

Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down a landscape liner or mulch to keep them at bay. Be sure to get them before they go to seed. Pull out weeds from the root in vegetable gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snaps off at ground level. If you choose to treat weeds with weed killer, find one that's safe for bees, other pollinators, and pets — and wear a respirator and heavy rubber gloves to ensure that it doesn't irritate your lungs or your skin.

The solution for how to get burnt grass green again is easy: Fix the scorched spot with a good long drink. You'll need to rehydrate those roots. It should perk up within a week. On the other hand, the game plan for treating grass damaged by dog urine isn't as straightforward. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replanted in fresh soil with new sod, grass, or patch and repair grass seed.

If you can water at least once a day, during the early morning or in the evening, that's ideal. When it's the height of summer, twice is better. Watering when it's hottest outside means a lot of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: lawns, gardens, and trees. 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, regardless of the time on the clock. Depending on your climate, lawn health, and grass type, you may also want to apply a lawn fertilizer.

Once you've got your plants into pots or the ground, make sure they stay hydrated and well-fed. Choose a synthetic or an organic fertilizer that fits 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. Only apply as often as recommended on the packaging. Always water immediately after, as directed, so the plants won't be burned by the fertilizer.

When you need a break from relentless summer heat, 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 relaxing day. Go back to lounging in the sun when that water-cooled air is ready.

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 furniture collection from scratch to do it. Even a tiny backyard refresh can make a huge difference. A new outdoor rug, outdoor lounge furniture, or even a string of outdoor lights can breathe new life into a patio space.
