Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening

How can I use the extra wood after tree removal or tree trimming?

Wood chippers make tiny chips, while wood splitters leave you with more manageable chunks of wood. After pruning trees and bushes with hedge trimmers or a gas chainsaw, clean up the debris in a wood chipper. If your trees are healthy, the chopped wood makes fresh mulch that you can spread in your garden. If you removed a tree, you can either get a splitting maul or a log splitter to break up the wood into smaller pieces. The wood splitter will be quicker and a wise investment if you're doing an expansive amount of tree cleanup, and the bigger the splitter, the better.

How can I get rid of fallen leaves from my lawn?

Keep leaf maintenance under control with just a few tools. For a workout, a quiet cleanup method, and an economical choice, slip on work gloves and rake those leaves. We've also got leaf blowers if you'd prefer an outdoor power tool instead.

How do I store my garden tools for the season?

Give your garden and yard a final cleanup for the season, then store the tools for the winter. Remove dirt and grime with a soak in soapy water, then dry the tools thoroughly. Next, soak them in a bleach and water mix for 20 minutes to kill off any microorganisms, and follow with a rinse. Then, scrub off rust specks with a wire brush, oil them with WD-40 or vegetable oil if necessary, and ensure they're dry before hanging them in a garage or shed.

How do I prepare outdoor water sources for winter?

Prepare for freezing temps by covering outside spigots with faucet covers. Winterizing the hose bibb can be put off until washing the car or watering the garden is done for the year, but don't wait too long. 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 pop-up sprinklers or a drip irrigation system, drain those as well as per the manufacturer's instructions. You may need a rental 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 an ice scraper and snow shovel to clean trouble spots or chip away ice patches. 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 or car. Shop now before the weather cools more and the snow rolls in.

Winter temperatures often mean you've wrapped up the outdoor work and gardening for the season. However, if you're motivated and it's not freezing outside, there's usually some project to do. In the meantime, enjoy your plants indoors. Read on for more on final tree and leaf cleanup, indoor gardening, enhancing next year's garden bed, or making the most of a break in the cold weather.

Leaf Upkeep and Tree Maintenance in Warmer Climates
When cold winter temps rise enough, take advantage of it to do outdoor maintenance. Bushes and trees need a trim with chainsaws and pole saws as they slow or stop their growth for the season. Fallen leaves are an issue even late in the season in warmer climates, so check out rakes, leaf blowers, and lawn bags. Be sure to get a wheelbarrow and buckets to easily transport leaves and branches. Of course, if you've got snow on the ground, you're off the hook until it melts and the ground thaws.

Raise Indoor Plants
An indoor garden of greenery is lovely, so create an oasis of house plants inside your home. A covered porch or sunroom is a great place to encourage plant growth, especially with pots and plant stands of all sizes. Your spring flower seed choices, whether they're perennials or annuals, can also often get an indoor start once we turn the corner toward warmer weather.

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 nervous or new gardeners. If you have furry friends, be sure to look for dog-safe plants and cat-safe indoor plants. As long as the plant pots are big enough and you follow the recommendations for watering and sunlight, you'll soon have a gorgeous and green indoor garden. Remember to place decorative dishes beneath them if the pots don't have built-in overflow dishes to catch any extra water.

Swap Soil for Air
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 the existing soil on your property is not healthy or outdoor raised beds aren't an option.

A hydroponic garden uses water infused with nutrients and fertilizer to keep plants growing in a substrate that's not dirt — 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 some select types 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. 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 stock 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, consider planning for the spring and budgeting accordingly. Measure the perimeter of your garden and crunch some numbers to see how many retaining wall blocks you'd need to accent or surround your garden. While you're at it, use our mulch calculator to figure out how much you'll need to buy when the temperatures warm. Give your garden a finished look with rubber mulch. It overwinters just fine and looks new longer than bark chips or other mulches that fade with weathering.

Warm the Outdoors with an Outdoor Fireplace
Stretch out warmer winter evenings with a fire pit, outdoor fireplace, or patio heater 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 your exact specifications 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 garden and lawn for the year with us. Move your garden indoors and admire your house plants while outdoor plants have retired for the season.
