Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
When should fall veggies be well established by?
Fall plants should be mature by first frost so the cold won't kill them. Summertime crops, like tomatoes, are killed or damaged by frost unless they're covered, but other plants don't mind so much. Cruciferous vegetables, or cole crops, like kale, broccoli, and cabbage, thrive in cooler temperatures and may continue growing into the winter months. Get incredible depth to their taste by harvesting these veggies after frost. The plants convert starches to sugar, so they'll taste sweeter than earlier harvests. Root veggies, like carrots and beets, also love chilly temperatures.
What do I do with tree trunks and branches after tree removal?
Wood chippers make tiny chips, while wood splitters leave you with more manageable chunks of wood. After pruning trees and bushes with a gas chainsaw or hedge trimmers, clean up the debris in a wood chipper. If your trees are healthy, the wood makes mulch that you can spread around your fall flowers and plants. If you removed a tree, you can either get an axe or a log splitter to break up the wood into smaller pieces. The wood splitter will be quicker and a wise investment if you're doing a large amount of tree cleanup, and the bigger the splitter, the better.
How do I get rid of all these leaves on my lawn?
If you'd prefer to use power tools to keep fallen leaves under control, shop our leaf blowers. Electric versions come as corded or cordless leaf blowers. We've also got walk-behind, backpack, and handheld leaf blower models. Leaf vacuums, vacuum-mulcher combo units, or rakes are additional options. Turn the fallen leaves into mulch and enrich your soil or fill up lawn and leaf bags and take them out to the curb.
How do I store my a chainsaw during the winter?
To maintain outdoor power equipment, clean it before you store it. Check your owner's manual or the manufacturer's website for info on caring for a certain tool. To shut down gas-powered outdoor power equipment for the season, idle each tool until the gasoline runs out, then change the oil so it's ready in the spring. For electric tools, remove the battery, put it in its storage case, and store it where it won't freeze — usually away from the tools themselves. Your tools will last longer when care for them well, saving you money and time.
When do I winterize the pool?
Winterize your pool before the weather cools off too much. Clean and vacuum the 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 irrigation systems, too.
How early do I prep for snow blower use?
In climates where it gets cold and snowy, early fall is the time to prepare your snow removal equipment. Snow blowers are great, but keep an ice scraper and snow shovel to clean trouble spots or chip away ice patches. Find one-, two-, and three-stage snow blowers in electric and gas options. Rock salt and ice melt can clear walkways with less effort and help keep you safer when you make quick trips to the car or mailbox. Shop now before the weather cools more and the snow rolls in.

Fall is a different time for your garden and yard, 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 to help you make the most of your landscaping and garden as the season ends. We'll also guide you through 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.
Patch or Fertilize Your Lawn
Fix bald spots on your lawn by spreading fresh grass seed. Cooler weather is a great time to fill in dead or brown places in your yard. However, make sure leaves don't land on freshly seeded areas. New grass seed needs sun, air, and water to grow, and leaf litter can block out the air and sunlight it needs to germinate.
If you're in a northern climate, prepare your cool-season grass for the fall with lawn fertilizer. Aerate your lawn before adding fertilizer to get the most bang for your buck. An edger gives extra polish to the perimeter of your yard. Water your cool-season lawn regularly and tend to any pesky weeds that show up. It'll need different maintenance than warm-season grass, which goes dormant as the weather cools. Taper down watering on warm-season lawns.
Fall Planting
Fall planting is often overlooked, but autumn is the perfect time to get additional flowers in your garden. Chrysanthemums, often just called "mums," provide a beautiful burst of fall color. Find them in shades of purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, and white. You might also choose some marigolds for orange, red, and yellow flowers that last until the first frost, or longer if you shield them. Remember to explore the wide variety of fall plant and flower options.
Succulents and bushes also blossom in the fall, especially if they're kept in planter pots or already well-established in the ground. Succulent planters allow for easier upkeep of sensitive succulents. You can customize the soil in the planters to fit these desert plants, as they need a sandy succulent soil mixture.
For shrubs, look after the ones you've got or plant new ones, weather permitting. Get in new plants now, especially if you're in a warmer climate and have time before the cold and frost comes. If you use retaining wall blocks to surround or accent your garden, try giving a finished look with rubber mulch. It'll overwinter just fine and look new longer than bark chips or other mulches that fade with weathering.
Cut and Cover Perennials
In climates where you might have a cold snap here and there, but then it'll warm up above freezing, cover your plants. Protect your garden from frost and freeze damage to extend their season. You can get extra life out of your garden by covering your plants with 5-gallon buckets, tarps, or even painting drop cloths. It'll warm your plants like a blanket or greenhouse, and they'll survive a frost.
This works well early on, until you're fully into the colder parts of the season. Uncover the plants in the morning when the thermometer goes up again and let them enjoy that autumn sun. Once the temperatures regularly dip below freezing, it's time to say goodbye to the garden for the rest of the year.
Put the Garden to Bed
When your annuals start looking rougher, dig up the plants. Northern climates that get cold earlier in the fall may be putting the garden to bed for the season in October or November. After your vegetable plants have yielded a final harvest, dig them up and dispose of the detritus, or dead plant debris. Feel free to let them decompose to enrich the soil unless you had one of two exceptions: if your plants dealt with blight or if you had a snail problem.
After you've removed the old plants, you have a clean slate. Prepare your garden bed for the spring by rotating the soil with a rototiller or shovel. You want to bring the deeper soil to the surface, send the topsoil lower down, and generally break up the ground. It lets the soil rest and helps nutrients penetrate. It's also an excellent opportunity to test the soil and see what, if any, soil amendments you need. Different crops and plants use different nutrients. Test your soil to see if it's balanced or if you should replenish certain nutrients that have been depleted.
Bring Delicate Plants Indoors
Gardeners with potted plants can extend their growing season by bringing the plants indoors to a sunny window. Indoor gardening allows both outdoor plants to live longer and indoor plants to bring joy into your home. Just turn them regularly to give all leaves equal sunlight, and make sure they get enough water. Remember to place decorative dishes beneath them if the pots don't have built-in overflow dishes to catch any extra water.
Warm the Outdoors with an Outdoor Fireplace
Stretch out your fall evenings with a patio heater, fire pit, or outdoor fireplace to take off the chill. No matter if you're looking for outdoor heaters for decks, small patios, or cozy porches, we've got options. All you have to do is pick the one that matches your decor style.
We've got fire bowls and fire pit tables ready to warm your outdoor space. Check out stylish propane and natural gas fire pits in a variety of shapes.
