Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening

What planting zone am I in?

Check the USDA plant zone map, as planting zones have shifted slightly over time. Zones with higher numbers can start their garden earlier in the year. Increase your odds of successful gardening by choosing plants that grow well in your area of the country.

How can I get my mulch delivered?

This year, enjoy free mulch delivery from our stores when you reach a purchase threshold. Our associates partner with a third-party, delivering your mulch in a vehicle that matches your project needs. Small orders arrive via car with a $3 fee, medium orders utilize our vans at a $35 fee, and large orders will ship to you in a box truck or flatbed for a $79 fee.

What if I want to pick up the mulch myself?

Yes, you're welcome to pick up your mulch yourself. 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 can load your small or medium mulch order directly into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bagged mulch or yard mulch, delivery is a wise choice.

How can I get small batches of mulch delivered?

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 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 one store to the next. 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 mulch or pallets of bagged mulch, you'll qualify for flatbed or box truck delivery. Most of the time, these are serious DIYers, Pro customers, or landscapers 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.

What should I do about weeds in my garden?

Weeds are likely poking 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 without them. If you choose to treat weeds with weed killer, find one that's safe for bees, other pollinators, and pets — and wear thick rubber gloves and a respirator to ensure that it doesn't irritate your lungs or your skin.

Is it possible to revive a sunburned lawn?

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 over the course of a week. The method for how to treat grass from dog urine isn't as straightforward. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replanted 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, during the evening or in the early morning, that's ideal. When it's the height of summer, twice is better. Watering when it's hottest outside means a great deal of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: lawns, trees, and gardens. Whenever you water, give all the plants a thorough drink, and don't skip it just because it's not the ideal 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 add a lawn fertilizer.

Should I fertilize a fruit tree?

Once you've gotten your plants into the soil, make sure they stay hydrated and well-fed. 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. Follow the application instructions and don't add extra. Always water immediately after, as directed, so 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 under a patio umbrella or a covered gazebo. If you have sturdy structures like a shed or house, make your own shade by attaching awnings and shade sails. But sometimes shade isn't enough because it's just too humid out. That's when a patio mister or misting fan can help cool the air and turn an uncomfortable afternoon into a refreshingly 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 doesn't have to be a barbecue party. Some focus on the grill or fire pit, while others concentrate on yard games. Many people relax outdoors and chat with friends. However you bond 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 stretch into the dog days of summer, your landscaping and garden will weather more sun and heat than earlier in the year. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool with shade, irrigation, and proper tending. You might also need ways to beat the heat. Let us help. At The Home Depot Ferguson 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 buildings, sidewalks, or fences.

Bushes, trees, and shrubs climb toward the sun and lose their shape over time. They're growing fast, filled with blooms before you know it. Trim wild branches to the 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 bushes and trees.

Care for Your Trees and Shrubs
When you're ensuring your garden is watered, don't forget about the shrubs and trees. They may need less watering than delicate flowers or vegetable plants, but they can still dry out in the hot sun. It's easy to learn how to water trees and bushes — just make sure you aim the water at the roots. It'll help prolong the greenery and prevent it from turning brown or yellow. Also, check for damage on your trees and shrubs. Pests can destroy your greenery.

Look for holes in leaves, spots on bark or leaves, or strange raised scars on the bark. 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 end the life of your tree or shrub.

Grow Your Own Herbs
Get fresh flavors to accent garden-fresh vegetables when you add herbs. They're generally low-maintenance and grow easily in pots, both indoors and outdoors. If you grow herbs outdoors, stick to heat-loving herbs that'll thrive in the summer temperatures, and consider a hanging herb garden. Read 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. Avoid a yard of volunteer herbs when you just keep them in decorative plant pots on a sunny window sill, porch, or even in wall planters. Herbs also work as a hydroponic garden, which doesn't use soil. Instead, they grow in a mixture of rock chips, perlite, or sand.

Vines as Decorative Shade
Plant vines near an arched arbor or trellis so they'll climb it and give you both beauty and shade. Go with vine plants that are native to your area. They attract pollinators and are a good choice for success. Grape vines are a classic option, but they take time to mature, so you'll enjoy dappled shade but no grapes for a few years. Don't forget to match your vine plants to the amount of sunlight you receive, as some like full sun and others don't. As a bonus, many vines put out sweet-smelling flowers with a delightful fragrance you can enjoy as you cool off in the shade.
