Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
What planting zone am I in?
Take a look at the USDA zone map, as planting zones have changed over the years. Zones with bigger numbers can begin planting earlier in the year. Up your chances of successful gardening by planting trees, vegetables, and flowers that are meant for your zone.
Does the type of mulch delivery affect the cost?
This year, enjoy free mulch delivery from our stores when you hit a purchase threshold. Our associates partner with a third-party, 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 for a $35 fee, and large orders come to you in a box truck or flatbed truck at a $79 fee.
Can I pick up my mulch order myself?
Yes, you can pick up your mulch in your own vehicle. We're also ready to help if you need it. After you purchase mulch online with store pickup or buy it in-store, go to the drive-thru or mulch loading zone if your store has one. An Orange Apron will load your small or medium mulch order directly into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bulk yard or bagged mulch, we recommend delivery.
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 regular van or car for just a $3 delivery fee. Yard mulch, also called bulk or loose mulch, will come in a truck. If you order a specific number of bags, you may qualify for 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. Normally, 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 do I do about all these weeds?
Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down mulch or landscape fabric to keep them at bay. Be sure to get them before the weeds' flowers dry out and drop their seeds. Pull weeds from the root in vegetable or edible flower 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 pollinators and pets — and wear thick rubber gloves and a respirator to ensure that it doesn't get in your lungs or touch your skin.
Is crispy grass dead?
It could be, but it's likely taking a nap during those soaring temps. Cool-season grass goes dormant in the summer. It turns brown and crispy, but isn't usually dead. Here’s how you can check to see if it’s dormant: If you can easily pull out a blade of grass with no resistance, it's time to plant new grass seed or sod because the grass is a goner. Water dormant lawns deeply and infrequently. Warm-season lawns need water every few days in the summer. Those lawns stay green if they're healthy. We have the lawn care you need for healthy warm-season and cool-season grass.
How often should I water my garden?
If you can water at least once a day, close to sunrise or sunset, that's ideal. When it's the height of summer, 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: plants, veggies, trees, and grass. 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 lawn health, grass type, and climate, you may also want to look into adding a lawn fertilizer.
Does my flower garden need fertilizer?
Once you've gotten your plants into the soil, make sure they stay hydrated and well-fed. 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. Follow the application instructions and don't add extra. 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 working in the yard, shelter beneath a covered gazebo or a patio umbrella. If you have sturdy structures like a house or a shed, make your own shade by attaching shade sails and awnings. However, sometimes shade isn't enough because it's just too humid out. That's when a misting fan or patio mister 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 I need for backyard entertaining?
Backyard entertaining is whatever you'd like it to be — it doesn't have to be a BBQ party. If you're focused on firing up the grill, make certain you know how to clean a grill when you're done. Many people simply relax outdoors and chat away the afternoon or maybe cook a meal in an outdoor kitchen. However you bond, extend the fun into the evening with proper outdoor lighting and a bug-free yard without pesky mosquitoes.

Settle Into Summer
As summer stretches on, 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 irrigation, shade, and proper tending. 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.
Lawn Repair and Patching
Burnt, or scorched, grass has an oddly shaped discoloration that looks yellow. It happens when plastic or metal sits on the grass and bakes in the sunlight, or a reflective surface shines continuously on your lawn. You'll discover it once you move something sitting out in the yard, like a trash can or sprinkler. Mirrors or car windows can also scorch grass when the sun angle is just right.
Water scorched grass well and wait a week or so. You should see the signs of life returning by then. If it's damaged by pet urine or otherwise unsalvageable, you'll have to replace the grass or use patch and repair seed to fix it up.
Whether you’re doing upkeep on your current lawn or patching the bare spots, keep in mind which type of grass it is and tailor your lawn care to it. Match the grass type to how much sun your lawn gets — or to the existing grass type if you're doing patch repair. For example, if trees or buildings shade your lawn so it gets dappled sun or partial shade, make sure you plant grass that's not meant for full sun.
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 flowering. A general rule when watering flowers and plants is to aim the water at the roots. A garden hose, sprinkler or sprinkler system, or drip irrigation system will work well. Contrary to popular belief, the blooms themselves don't need to be watered or even misted. 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 varieties 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 get the right nutrients.
Grow Your Own Herbs
For fresh flavors to accent your homegrown produce, try herb gardening. They're generally low-maintenance. It's easy to learn how to grow herbs indoors, but you can raise herbs outdoors, too. If you grow herbs outdoors, stick to heat-loving herbs that'll endure the summer temperatures, and consider a hanging herb garden.
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 pots on a porch, window sill, or even in wall planters. Herbs also work well in a hydroponic garden, which means they don't grow in soil. Instead, they grow in a mixture of sand, rock chips, or perlite.
Vines as Decorative Shade
Plant vines near a trellis or an arched arbor so they'll climb it and give you both shade and beauty. Go with vine plants that are native to your area. They're a good choice for success and attract pollinators. Jasmine, wisteria, and ivy are common options for creating a stunning pathway. Remember 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, so you can enjoy a delightful fragrance as you cool off in the shade.
