Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening

What planting zone am I in?

Check the USDA plant hardiness zone map, as planting zones have changed over the years. Zones with bigger numbers can plant earlier in the year. Choose plants that thrive in your zone and up the odds of successful gardening.

What are my mulch delivery options and how much do they cost?

This year, enjoy free mulch delivery from our stores when you hit 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 with a $3 fee, medium orders utilize our vans at a $35 fee, and large orders come to you via box truck or flatbed truck for a $79 fee.

Do you offer self-pickup for mulch orders?

Yes, you can pick up your mulch in your own vehicle. Even better, we're happy to help if you need it. After you buy mulch in-store or online with store pickup, go to the drive-thru or mulch loading zone if your store has one. An Orange Apron will load your small-to-medium mulch order into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of any mulch, we recommend delivery.

How much does it cost for a small order of mulch to be 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 standard 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 get free delivery. That threshold varies from one store to the next. However, you'll be able to verify the cost at checkout.

Who qualifies for flatbed or large truck mulch delivery?

When you're ordering huge quantities of loose mulch or pallets of bagged mulch, you'll be looking at flatbed or box truck delivery. Often, these are landscapers, Pro customers, or serious DIYers 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.

How do I treat weeds?

Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down a landscape liner or mulch to keep them at bay. Be sure to get them before they go to seed. Pull weeds from the root in vegetable or edible flower gardens, and dig up the roots if the weeds snap off without them. If you choose to treat weeds with weed killer, find one that's safe for pollinators and pets — and wear thick rubber gloves and a respirator to ensure that it doesn't touch your skin or get in your lungs.

How do I fix sunburned grass?

The solution for how to get burnt grass green again is easy: Fix the scorched spot with a lengthy drink. You'll need to rehydrate those roots. It should perk up within a week. On the other hand, the method for treating grass damaged by 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.

How often should I water my garden?

If you can water at least once a day, during the early morning or in the evening, that's ideal. When it's the height of summer, twice is better. Watering during the heat of the day means a great deal of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you've got growing: trees, grass, plants, and veggies. Whenever you water, give all the plants a thorough drink, and don't skip it just because it's not the best 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 a fruit tree?

Once you've got your plants into pots or the ground, you'll need to make sure they stay well-fed and hydrated. Choose a synthetic or an organic fertilizer to give your garden a boost. You can even find one that's formulated for your plants, whether you need a flower fertilizer, vegetable fertilizer, citrus tree fertilizer, or general garden fertilizer blend. 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 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 a stifling afternoon into a relaxing day. Return to lounging in the sun when that water-chilled air is ready.

How do I entertain on the patio?

Backyard entertaining is whatever you'd like — it doesn't have to be a barbeque party. If you're focusing on firing up the grill, make sure you know how to clean a grill when you're done. Many people simply relax outdoors or cook a meal together in an outdoor kitchen. Whichever path you take for bonding with friends, extend the fun into the evening with proper outdoor lighting and a bug-free yard without pesky mosquitoes.

The Home Depot Garden Center at Lake Worth

Set Up For Summertime
As we stretch into the dog days of summer, your garden and landscaping will weather more heat than earlier in the year. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool with proper tending, shade, and irrigation. You might also need ways to beat the heat. We can help. At The Home Depot Lake Worth Garden Center, we've got what you need to make the most of summer.

Keep Your Lawn Tidy
As the weeks tick by, the sod or grass seed you planted will grow taller than what's ideal. Eventually, it'll need some maintenance to look fresh and manicured. Keep the lawn in check with a push lawn mower and a string trimmer to knock down any tall grass around fences, sidewalks, or buildings.

Bushes, shrubs, and trees climb toward the sun and lose their shape over time. They'll be growing fast, filled with buds and blooms 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 branches on trees and bushes.

Watch Your Garden Thrive
Much of your garden's upkeep comes down to balancing sun and water. You'll need both to keep plants growing and 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 will do the job. You don't need to water the blooms themselves. Many flowers droop when they get wet, but they'll recover just fine once they dry off. Succulents are 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 plant food and fertilizer as recommended. We've even got fertilizers to match the types of plants you're growing so they'll absorb 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 those parts of the plants. 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. Then, 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.

Trees as Natural Shade
Trees are the ultimate natural source of shade, and they can change the appearance of your yard. Whether you plant a few trees 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 how deep the taproots go, how far the root ball extends outward, and the full-grown size of the trees you want. Plant your trees far from water pipes, as their strong roots will seek water and wend into piping to get it. A tree with a full canopy of leaves catches wind like a sail, so make sure it's planted a safe distance from your home.

If you've diligently planned, found trees you love, and know the perfect places to put them, get planting. That way, you can enjoy natural shade and the soothing sound of leaves rustling in the breeze sooner rather than later.
