When you're ready to seed your lawn, our calculator helps you estimate the amount of grass seed you'll need to get the job done.
Enter your preferred material, the square footage and mulch depth of the coverage space for accurate results.
We'll calculate the amount of fencing you should purchase based on your property needs.
Should I get a wood chipper or a wood splitter?
Wood chippers make tiny chips, while wood splitters leave you with more manageable chunks of wood. After pruning bushes and trees with a gas chainsaw or hedge trimmers, clean up the debris in a wood chipper. If your trees are healthy, the bark chips and chopped wood make fresh mulch that you can spread in your garden. If you removed a tree, you can either get a log splitter or an axe to divide the downed tree into smaller pieces. The wood splitter will be quicker and a wise investment if you're doing an expansive amount of tree cleanup, and bigger is better here.
What do I do with all these leaves on my lawn?
Stay on top of leaf maintenance with just a few tools. For a workout, a quiet cleanup method, and an economical choice, go with a rake, some work gloves, and leaf and lawn bags. We've also got leaf blowers if you'd prefer outdoor power tools.
How do I care for a lawn mower?
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 specific tool. To shut down gas-powered outdoor power equipment for the season, run each tool at an idle until the gas is gone, 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. It's a bit labor-intensive now, but you'll be glad you maintained your tools when you use them again.
How do I prepare outdoor faucets for winter?
Prepare for freezing temps by covering outside spigots with faucet covers. Winterizing the hose bibb can be put off until watering the garden or washing the car in the driveway is done for the year, but don't wait until the temps drop into the 40s. With all hoses disconnected, turn off the indoor valves that control the spigots, then open the taps and let them run until the water stops. If you have an irrigation system or in-ground sprinklers, drain those as well as per the manufacturer's instructions. You may need an air compressor to get every last drop of water out. Even though your pool is winterized by now, you may be able to prepare for next summer by searching for sales on a pool vacuum and pool cover. That way, you'll be all set for the cold now and the heat later.
Do I get a snow blower or snow shovel?
In climates where it gets cold and snowy, preparing your snow removal tools is key. Snow blowers are great, but keep a snow shovel or two to chip away ice patches and clear trouble spots. We carry gas snow blowers, electric snow blowers, and cordless ones, too. Rock salt and ice melt can clear walkways with less effort and help keep you safer when you make quick trips to the mailbox. Shop now before the weather cools more and the snow rolls in.
Winter temperatures often mean you've wrapped up the gardening and outdoor work for the season. However, if you're motivated and it's not freezing outside, there's usually a project to do. In the meantime, enjoy your plants indoors. Read on for more on final leaf and tree cleanup, indoor gardening, giving next year's garden bed a glow-up, or making the most of a slightly warmer day.
Leaf Upkeep and Tree Maintenance in Warmer Climates
On a balmy wintertime day, you may want to take advantage of the weather and do outdoor maintenance. Neaten up your trees and bushes with pole saws, pruners, and chainsaws. Fallen leaves are still an issue in warmer climates, so check out rakes, leaf blowers, and lawn bags. Also, remember to get buckets and a wheelbarrow to easily transport leaves and branches. Of course, if you've got snow on the ground, you'd need to wait for a thaw.
Grow Indoor Plants
Enjoy caring for indoor house plants. Watering, trimming, and attending to your plants can be calming and centering. Indoor plants can help cheer up your home's interior, brighten your mood, and clean the air.
Many types of plants will thrive indoors, from bonsai trees to fruit trees to traditional potted plants like monsteras. Succulents are drought resistant, and low-maintenance indoor plants are great for new or nervous gardeners. If you have furry friends, be sure to look for dog-safe plants and cat-safe indoor plants. Just rotate the planter pots 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.
Garden with Air Instead of Soil
For a different type of indoor planting, try hydroponic gardening. Hydroponics are an unconventional choice for indoor gardens. You can also keep them going year-round if outdoor raised beds aren't available or the existing soil is hard clay, rocks, or sand.
A hydroponic garden uses fertilizer and water infused with nutrients to keep plants growing in a substrate that's not soil — like sand, rock chips, or perlite. It's an excellent way to grow veggies and herbs. Later in the year, you can just snip sprigs of herbs or pick a fresh veggie to add into your meal. You can also use hydroponics to grow a few varieties of succulents.
Spread Nutrients
Give your house plants a nutritious place to grow with fertilizer and proper soil. Potted plants all do best with specialty potting soil. Keep in mind that succulents need a sandier soil mix that allows for lots of drainage. For optimal results, always match your soil to your plants when transplanting to larger containers.
Fertilizer adds and replenishes trace minerals and nutrients that your soil may lack. Fill in the blanks with fertilizer. We offer many kinds of organic and non-organic plant fertilizers to keep your indoor plants happy and healthy.
Add Decorative Mulch and Retaining Wall Blocks
On days when you'd like to garden but the growing season is over, do some prep work for the spring instead. Consider using retaining wall blocks to accent or surround your garden. Just measure the perimeter of your garden to get started on a plan for when the ground thaws. A beautiful garden wall or hardscaping gives a finished look, especially when you spread a layer of rubber mulch. It overwinters well and resists fading longer than other mulches.
Warm the Outdoors with an Outdoor Fireplace
Stretch out warmer winter evenings with a patio heater, fire pit, 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 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. We've also got woodburning fire pits and the firewood to stoke them. You can even build your own with fire pit kits or make it completely custom and build an in-ground fire pit to fit your vision with pavers that lead to and surround the pit. Stop by your closest garden center to see what's in stock.
Ease Into Winter
This winter, shore up your flowers and plants for the year with us. Move your garden indoors and admire your house plants while outdoor plants have retired for the season.
