Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
How do I know what planting zone I am in?
Check the USDA zone map, as planting zones have changed slightly over the years. Zones with bigger numbers can begin planting earlier in the year and continue growing into the fall months — or throughout winter in some places. Choose plants that thrive in your zone and increase your chances of successful gardening.
Does The Home Depot deliver mulch?
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 landscaping project by delivering your mulch in a vehicle that matches your project needs. Small orders will arrive via car for a $3 fee, medium orders utilize our vans at a $35 fee, and large orders will ship to you via box truck or flatbed for a $79 fee.
Do you offer self-pickup for mulch orders?
Yes, you're welcome to pick up your mulch yourself. 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 mulch loading zone or drive-thru if your store has one. One of our associates will load your small-to-medium mulch order directly into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bagged mulch or yard mulch, delivery is easiest.
Does my mulch get delivered in a car?
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. Yard mulch, also called loose or bulk mulch, will come in a truck. If you order a specific number of bags, you may qualify for free delivery. That threshold varies from store to store. However, you'll be able to verify the cost at checkout.
How much mulch qualifies for large truck or flatbed delivery?
When you're ordering huge quantities of bulk yard mulch or pallets of bagged mulch, you'll get flatbed or box truck delivery. Often, these are serious DIYers, landscapers, or Pro customers working on 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.
Can I still have a garden in the fall and winter?
If you're planting seeds for fall outdoor gardening, get them in by late summer. You can put plants in the ground much later than seeds, and warm climates can continue planting later in the year than cold northern climates. Read these tips on how to plan and prep a fall vegetable garden. You may be able to grow cruciferous vegetables and leafy greens throughout the fall and into winter if the weather stays mild. In fact, some cole crops are sweeter after a frost. Check your USDA planting zone for information on your growing season and specific plants, then do some research on how to plant a fall vegetable garden.
How often should I water the lawn?
If you can water at least once a day, during the early morning or in the evening, that's ideal. Whenever you water, give all the plants a good drink, and don't skip it just because it's not the best time. The plants still need hydration, regardless of the time on the clock. Depending on your lawn health, climate, and grass type, you may also want to apply a lawn fertilizer. If your lawn is going dormant for the winter, don't fertilize it at all or water it often.
How do I get rid of all these leaves?
Although sometimes it feels like a losing battle, you can keep ahead of leaf maintenance. For a traditional and economical method, go with a rake, some work gloves, and lawn and leaf bags. We also have leaf blowers if you'd prefer to use an outdoor power tool instead.
How do I store my garden tools?
Put your garden to bed for the season, then store your tools for the winter. Give your tools a soak in soapy water to remove dirt and grime, then dry them thoroughly. Next, soak them in a water and bleach mix for 20 minutes to kill off any fungi or bacteria, and follow with a rinse. Then, scrub away rust specks using a wire brush, oil them with vegetable oil or WD-40 if necessary, and make sure they're dry before hanging them in a shed or garage.
What do I do with a downed tree?
After storm cleanup or pruning bushes and trees with a gas chainsaw or hedge trimmers, process the debris in a chipper. Log splitters leave you with more manageable chunks of wood, while wood chippers make small wood chips. If your trees are healthy, the bark chips and chopped wood make fresh mulch that you can spread around your plants and flowers. If you got rid of a tree, you can use a splitter, an axe, or a sledgehammer with a wedge to divide the downed tree into smaller pieces. The wood splitter will be faster and a smart investment if you're doing a large amount of tree cleanup, and bigger is better here. We also have chippers and stump grinders for rent and purchase.
How do I winterize my pool?
Once the summertime dissipates, it's time to winterize your pool before the cold really moves in. Clean and vacuum your pool with a special pool vacuum, then drain the water. Use a swimming pool cover to help prevent the pipes or even the pool wall itself from becoming cracked or weakened if water freezes and expands inside. While you're at it, drain and cover outdoor spigots and sprinkler systems, too.

The Home Depot Cold Spring Garden Center
Fall is a different time for your lawn and garden, so get out your work gloves, chainsaws, pole saws, and pruners. The focus shifts from growing to harvesting, from upkeep to cleanup. We've got fall lawn tips and fall gardening guidance to help you make the most of your landscaping and garden as the season comes to a close. We'll also guide you through fall harvest and planting. Depending on your climate, you might be able to garden throughout the chillier months. Read on for more on fall garden and lawn maintenance.
Fertilize or Patch Your Lawn
Patch up bald spots on your lawn by overseeding them. Chillier weather is a great time to fill in brown, dead, or bare places in your yard. However, be mindful of fallen leaves on freshly seeded areas. Fresh grass seed needs sun, water, and air to grow, and leaf litter can block out the air and sunlight it needs to germinate.
If your cool-season grass is in good shape, make sure it stays that way by using an aerator and then applying lawn fertilizer. An edger gives extra polish to the perimeter of your yard. Water your cool-season lawn regularly and tend to any pesky fall weeds that show up. It'll need different upkeep than warm-season grass, which goes dormant as cooler weather arrives. Taper down watering on warm-season lawns. If you're in the climate zone striped across the middle latitude of the country, we have transition zone grass seed, too.
Fall Planting
Autumn planting is often overlooked, but fall is the perfect time to get additional flowers in your garden. Chrysanthemums, often simply called "mums," provide a gorgeous pop of fall color. Find them in shades of yellow, pink, red, purple, orange, and white. You might also choose some marigolds for orange, yellow, and red blooms that last until the first frost, or possibly even longer if you properly protect them.
Succulents and shrubs also bloom in the fall, especially if they're already established in the ground or kept in flower pots. For shrubs, look after the ones you've got or plant new ones, if the weather permits. Get new plants in now, especially if you're in a warmer climate and have time before the frost and cold set in.
If you use retaining wall blocks to surround or accent your garden area, try giving a finished look with rubber mulch. If you want traditional mulch by the bag or by the truckload, we also carry that.
Cover Perennials
In climates where you may have a cold snap here and there, but then it warms up above freezing again, cover your plants. Protect your garden from frost and freeze damage to extend their season. You can get extra life from your garden by covering your plants with tarps, 5-gallon buckets, or drop cloths. It'll warm your plants like a blanket or greenhouse, and they'll survive a frost.
This works well when the weather is still transitional, until you're fully into the colder parts of the season. Remove the plant coverings in the morning when the weather warms again and let them enjoy that autumn sunshine. Once the temps regularly dip below freezing, it's time to say goodbye to the garden until the springtime.
Put the Garden to Bed
When the sun angle shifts and your annual plants look worn, it's time to dig up the plants. Northern climates that get cold earlier in the fall might be putting the garden to bed for the season in October or November, while warmer climates might wait until November or December. After your veggie plants have produced a final harvest, dig them up, then get rid of the detritus, or dead plant debris. You can let them return their nutrients to the earth, but there are two exceptions: if your plants dealt with disease or if you had a problem with snails. Let snail-ridden decay elsewhere and dispose of diseased material in leaf and lawn bags to avoid passing issues on to next spring's crop.
After you've removed the old plants, you have a clean slate. Prep your garden bed for the spring by rotating the soil with a shovel or renting a rototiller. Bring the deeper soil to the surface, send the topsoil lower down, and generally break up the ground. It helps nutrients penetrate and lets the soil rest. It's also a terrific opportunity to see what, if any, amendments you need. Different plants and crops use different nutrients. Test your soil to see if it's balanced or if you should add certain nutrients that have been depleted.
Move Delicate Plants Indoors
Gardeners with potted plants can extend their growing season by bringing the plants inside to a sunny window. Indoor gardening allows both outdoor plants to live longer and indoor plants to bring happiness into your home. Just make sure they get enough water now that they won't benefit from rainfall, and rotate them frequently to give all those leaves enough sunlight for photosynthesis. Remember to place decorative planter saucers beneath your house plants if the pots don't have built-in overflow dishes to prevent water from spilling.
Warm Up with a Fire Pit
Extend your fall evenings with a fire pit, patio heater, or outdoor fireplace to take off the chill. No matter if you're looking to heat a small patio, a cozy back porch, or a spacious deck, we've got options. All you have to do is find the one that matches your style.
