Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
Which planting zone am I 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. Pick plants that are intended for 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, delivering your mulch in a vehicle that matches your project needs. Small orders arrive in a 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.
Can I pick up my mulch order myself?
Yes, if you prefer, you can pick up your mulch in your own vehicle. Even better, we're happy to help if you need it. After you purchase 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 or medium mulch order into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bulk yard or bagged mulch, delivery is easiest.
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 standard van or car for just a $3 delivery fee. Bulk mulch, also called yard or loose 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.
How much mulch qualifies for large truck or flatbed delivery?
When you're ordering pallets of bagged mulch or huge quantities of loose mulch, you'll be looking at box truck or flatbed delivery. Most of the time, these are landscapers, serious DIYers, 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.
How do I treat weeds?
Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down a landscape fabric liner 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 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 pollinators and pets — and wear a respirator and thick rubber gloves to ensure that it doesn't touch your skin or get in your lungs.
How do I fix scorched grass?
You'll need to rehydrate those roots. The solution for how to get burnt grass green again is easy: Fix the scorched spot with a good long drink, then continue to water it regularly. It should perk up within a week. The game plan for how to treat grass from dog urine isn't as straightforward. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replaced in fresh soil with new grass or patch and repair grass seed.
When should I water my flowers?
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 during the heat of the day means much of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: plants, veggies, trees, and grass. Whenever you water, give all the plants a good drink, and don't skip it just because it's not the ideal time. The plants still need hydration, no matter what time it is. Depending on your lawn health, grass type, and climate, you may also want to look into adding a lawn fertilizer.
Should I fertilize my plants?
Once you've got your plants in the ground, 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 specially formulated 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 the 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 a stifling afternoon into a refreshingly relaxing day. Return to lounging in the sun when that water-chilled 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 tiny backyard refresh can make a big difference. New outdoor lounge furniture, rugs, or even outdoor string lights can bring character to a backyard.

Settle Into Summer
As summer stretches on, your garden and landscaping will weather more 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, trees can lose their leaves prematurely, grass can get scorched, and plants can dry out. We can help. At The Home Depot Fayetteville Garden Center, we've got what you need to make the most of summer.
Keep Your Lawn Tidy
As the weeks tick by, the grass seed or sod you planted will grow taller than what's ideal. You'll need to maintain it so it'll look fresh and manicured again. Keep the lawn in check with a self-propelled lawn mower and a string trimmer to knock down any tall grass around sidewalks, buildings, or fences.
Bushes, shrubs, and trees climb toward the sun and lose their shape over time. They'll be growing fast, filled with blooms and buds before you know it. Trim wild branches to the size and shape you want 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.
Watch Your Garden Thrive
Make sure to water your garden. That's the way to keep it going between rainstorms to enjoy the summer 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 will work well. Contrary to popular belief, the blooms themselves don't need to be watered or even misted. Many flowers droop when they get wet, but they’ll recover once they dry off. Succulents are 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 fertilizer and plant food 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
For fresh flavors to accent your homegrown produce, add herbs. 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.
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 decorative pots on a sunny porch, window sill, or even in wall planters. Herbs also work well in a hydroponic garden, which doesn't use soil. Instead, they grow in a mixture of sand, rock chips, or perlite.
Trees as Natural Shade
Trees are the ultimate natural source of shade, and they can change the look of your yard. Whether you plant an accent tree or a small forest, keep in mind this is a long-term commitment. Trees live many decades when they're healthy. Before you shop, plan so you know how to plant a tree — whether they're deciduous tree saplings, evergreens, or more mature trees.
Although trees framing a house may look picturesque, you should research the specifics of those trees before you plant them. Consider the full-grown size of the trees you want, how deep the taproots go, and how far the root ball extends outward. 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 disease or a storm weakened them.
If you've researched and planned, found trees you love, and know the perfect places to put them, get planting. That way, you can enjoy the leaves rustling in the breeze and dappled shade sooner rather than later.
