Take a look at the USDA plant zone map, as planting zones have changed through the years. Zones with bigger numbers can start their garden earlier in the year. Increase your odds of successful gardening by planting flowers, trees, and vegetables that grow well in your area of the country.

This year, enjoy free mulch delivery from our stores when you hit a purchase threshold. Our associates partner with a third-party, delivering your mulch in a vehicle that matches your project needs.

Yes, you can pick up your own mulch. Even better, we're ready 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 will load your small-to-medium mulch order into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of loose or bagged 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 van or car 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. However, you'll be able to verify the cost at checkout.

When you're ordering pallets of bagged mulch or huge quantities of bulk mulch, you'll qualify for box truck or flatbed delivery. Most of the time, these are serious DIYers, landscapers, or Pro customers 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.

Weeds are likely poking 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 or edible flower gardens, and dig up the roots if the weeds snap off at ground level. If you choose to treat weeds with weed killer, find one that's safe for pollinators and pets — and wear durable rubber gloves and a respirator to ensure that it doesn't irritate your skin or your lungs.

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. The method for how to treat grass from dog urine isn't as simple. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replanted in fresh soil with new grass, sod, or patch and repair grass seed.

If you can water at least once a day, close to sunrise or sunset, 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've got growing: trees, flowers, grass, and gardens. Whenever you water, give all the plants a good drink, and don't skip it just because it's not the perfect time. The plants still need hydration, regardless of the time on the clock. Depending on your climate, grass type, and lawn health, you may also want to add a lawn fertilizer.

Once you've got your plants into pots or the ground, you'll need to make sure they stay well-fed and hydrated. Choose an organic or synthetic fertilizer that suits your needs and gives your garden a boost. You can even find one specially formulated for your plants, whether you need a vegetable fertilizer, fruit tree fertilizer, succulent plant food, or a general garden fertilizer. Avoid applying more often than recommended. Remember to always water immediately after, as directed. That way, the plants won't be burned by the fertilizer.

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. However, 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. Return 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 bring character to a patio space.
