What number planting zone am I in?

Take a look at the USDA plant hardiness 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 increase your chances of successful gardening.

How much is mulch delivery at The Home Depot?

This year, enjoy free mulch delivery from our stores when you meet a purchase threshold. Our associates partner with a third-party to help you get started on your outdoor project by delivering your mulch in a vehicle that matches your project needs. Small orders will arrive via car with a $3 fee, medium orders utilize our vans for a $35 fee, and large orders will ship to you via flatbed or box truck at a $79 fee.

Can I get my mulch order loaded into my truck?

Yes, you're welcome to pick up your own mulch. Even better, we're 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-to-medium mulch order directly into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bulk yard or bagged mulch, delivery is easiest.

Does my mulch get delivered in a car or van instead of a truck?

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. Bulk mulch, also called loose or yard 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, but you'll be able to verify the cost at checkout.

How much mulch qualifies for large truck or flatbed delivery?

When you're ordering huge quantities of bulk mulch or pallets of bagged mulch, you'll qualify for box truck or flatbed delivery. Most of the time, 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.

What should I do about weeds in my garden?

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 they go to seed. Pull weeds from the root in vegetable gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snaps off at ground level. If you choose to treat weeds with weed killer, find one that's safe for pollinators and pets — and wear durable rubber gloves and a respirator to ensure that it doesn't irritate your skin or lungs.

How do I fix burnt grass?

The solution for how to get burnt grass green again is easy: Fix the scorched spot with a good long drink. Continue to water it regularly. It should perk up within a week. On the other hand, the game plan for treating grass damaged by dog urine isn't as simple. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replanted in fresh soil with new grass or patch and repair grass seed.

What's the best time to water my lawn and garden?

If you can water at least once a day, close to sunrise or sunset, that's ideal. When it's extremely hot out, twice is better. Watering when it's hottest outside means a lot of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: trees, grass, plants, and veggies. Whenever you water, give all the plants a good drink, and don't skip it just because it's not the ideal 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 adding a lawn fertilizer.

Should I fertilize my plants?

Once you've gotten your plants settled into the ground, you'll need to make sure they stay hydrated and well-fed. Choose a synthetic or an organic fertilizer and 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, so 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 under 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-cooled air is ready.

How do I entertain on the patio?

Backyard entertaining doesn't have to be a barbeque party. Some focus on the grill or fire pit, while others concentrate on yard games. Many people simply relax outdoors and chat with friends. However you bond, extend the fun into the evening with proper outdoor lighting and a bug-free yard without pesky mosquitoes.

Set Up For Summer
As we continue deeper into summer, your landscaping and garden will weather more heat than earlier in the season. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool. Just like we can get sunburned, plants can dry out, grass can get scorched, and trees can lose their leaves too early. We've got advice to help you, your garden, and your lawn make it through the hotter months with flying colors.

Keep Your Lawn Tidy
As the weeks tick by, the sod or grass seed you planted will grow taller than what's ideal. Get it looking fresh again with a little TLC. Keep the lawn in check with a lawn mower and a string trimmer to knock down any tall grass around fences, buildings, or sidewalks.

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 tree topping and major tree maintenance to the pros, but you may want to use a pole saw for minor trims and a chainsaw for small 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 aim the water at the roots. A garden hose, sprinkler or sprinkler system, or drip irrigation system can get the job done. Contrary to popular belief, the blooms themselves don't need to be watered or even misted. Many flowers wilt when they get wet, but they’ll recover once they dry off. Succulents are, of course, 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. Use fertilizer and plant food as recommended. We've even got fertilizers to match the plant types you're growing so they'll enjoy a balanced diet with the right nutrients.

Grow Your Own Herbs
For fresh flavors to accent your homegrown produce, add herbs. 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 thrive in 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. So 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 doesn't use 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 beauty and shade. Choose 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 archway. 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 with a delightful fragrance you can enjoy as you cool off in the shade.
