Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
How do I know which planting zone I'm in?
Check the USDA zone map, as planting zones have changed through the years. Zones with higher numbers can begin planting earlier in the year. Pick plants that grow well in your area and up the odds of successful gardening.
Does the type of mulch delivery affect the cost?
This year, enjoy free mulch delivery from our stores when you reach 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 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.
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. An associate can load a small or medium mulch order directly into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of loose or bagged mulch, we encourage you to choose delivery.
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 car or van 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, but you'll be able to verify the cost at checkout.
How much mulch qualifies for flatbed or large truck delivery?
When you're ordering huge quantities of bulk yard mulch or pallets of bagged mulch, you'll be looking at flatbed or box truck delivery. Often, these are serious DIYers, landscapers, or Pro customers working on 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 get rid of weeds?
Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down mulch or a landscape liner to keep them at bay. Pull weeds from the root in vegetable or edible flower gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snaps off at ground level. Be sure to get them before the weeds' flowers dry out and drop their seeds. If you'd like to treat weeds with weed killer, check that it's safe for bees, other pollinators, and pets — and wear a respirator and durable rubber gloves to ensure that it doesn't irritate your skin or lungs.
Can I fix burnt 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 over the course of a week. On the other hand, the game plan for how to treat grass from dog urine isn't as simple. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replaced in fresh soil with new grass or patch and repair grass seed.
Is there an ideal time to water my lawn and garden?
If you can water at least once a day, during the early morning or in the evening, that's ideal. When it's extremely hot out, twice is better. Watering when the sun is at its peak means much of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you've got growing: lawns, trees, and gardens. Whenever you water, give all the plants a thorough drink, and don't skip it when it's not the perfect 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 look into applying a lawn fertilizer.
How do I fertilize my plants?
Once you've gotten your plants settled into the ground, make sure they stay hydrated and well-fed. Choose an organic or synthetic fertilizer that fits your needs and gives your garden a boost. You can even find one that's formulated for your plants, whether you need a vegetable fertilizer, fruit tree fertilizer, succulent plant food, or a general garden fertilizer. Avoid applying more often than recommended. Always water immediately after, as directed, so your plants don't get fertilizer burn.
How can I keep cool this summer?
When you need a break from working in the yard, shelter beneath a patio umbrella or a covered gazebo. If you have sturdy structures like a house or shed, 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 a stifling afternoon into a refreshingly relaxing day. Return to lounging in the sun when that chilled air is ready.
How do I entertain on the patio?
Backyard entertaining is whatever you'd like it to be — it doesn't have to be a barbecue party. Some focus on the grill or fire pit, while others concentrate on yard games. Many people simply relax outdoors or cook a meal together in an outdoor kitchen. 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 Summer
As we stretch into the dog days of summer, your landscaping and garden will weather more sun than earlier in the season. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool. Just like we can get sunburned, grass can get scorched, plants can dry out, and trees can lose their leaves prematurely. We've got advice to help you, your garden, and your lawn sail through the hotter months with flying colors.
Grow a Healthy Lawn
If you're worried that your lawn has crispy and brown blades of grass, don't panic. It's possible that you've got a cool-season grass that's going to go dormant and turn brown in the summer sun. If that's the case, it won't be a patchy brown, but brown everywhere. Give a grass blade a gentle tug to check if it's still got live roots: If it comes right out, the grass is likely dead and will need to be replaced with new grass seed or sod. If it doesn't pull right out, it's dormant. That means it's growing and resting beneath the surface. Water dormant grass deeply once or twice per week, but don't fertilize it.
For warm-season grass that stays green in the summer, water a bit every few days and deeply once a week. The amount of water should add up to about an inch, more or less, each week. Take care not to overwater, and let the lawn dry out after major rains before you get out the sprinkler again. Water your lawn when the top two inches of soil is dry to the touch. You can test with your finger. This might happen quicker than you'd think during extreme hot spells or periods of drought. It's fine to let it grow taller in the summer, as cutting it too short isn't healthy for this kind of lawn.
Watch Your Garden Thrive
Much of your garden's upkeep comes down to balancing sun and water. You'll need both to keep spirits high with summer flowering. A general rule when watering flowers and plants is to water the roots. A garden hose, sprinkler or sprinkler system, or drip irrigation system can get the job done. You don't need to water or even mist the blooms themselves. Many flowers droop and wilt when they get wet, but they'll recover just fine once they dry off. Succulents are, of course, the exception to basic watering rules, so look up your specific succulent types to optimize their care.
In addition to watering, keep an eye on the nutrients your plants are getting. Apply fertilizer as recommended. We've even got fertilizers to match the plant types you're growing so they'll get the right nutrients.
Vertical Edible Gardening
Grow produce vertically for a smart use of space. Many veggie plants are vines and well-suited to climb a fence or trellis, so plant them next to one. The key to success is supporting the stem, fruit, and branches. This is so the weight of the plant doesn't snap the stem or branches. Fasten the plant to a trellis, fence, or pole with string, plant ties and wires, garden wire, or fabric strips. Be sure to attach each plant loosely. That way, the stem has room to grow wider, and the leaves and branches can sway in the breeze.
Cucumbers, watermelon, strawberries, and tomatoes need support as they bear fruit. Melons and squash require hammocks made of old nylons, string, a sling, or other stretchy fabric to support the weighty produce. All of these plants take up less space on the ground this way, which allows you to have walking room between plants or fit even more of them.
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 have shade without grapes for a few years. Be sure to match your vine plants to how much sunlight you receive, as not all of them thrive in full sun. As a bonus, many vines put out sweet-smelling flowers, so you can enjoy a delightful fragrance as you cool off in the shade.
