Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
What number planting zone am I in?
Check the USDA zone map, as planting zones have evolved over time. Zones with bigger numbers can plant earlier in the year. Pick plants that grow well in your area and up 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 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 truck for 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 buy mulch in-store or online with store pickup, go to the mulch loading zone or drive-thru if your store has one. An Orange Apron can load your small-to-medium mulch order into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bulk or bagged mulch, you'll likely want delivery.
Does The Home Depot deliver mulch?
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. Bulk mulch, also called yard or loose 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.
How much mulch qualifies for large truck or flatbed delivery?
When you're ordering pallets of bagged mulch or huge quantities of bulk yard mulch, you'll qualify for flatbed or box truck delivery. Most of the time, 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.
How can I treat weeds in my vegetable garden?
Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down a landscape fabric or mulch to keep them at bay. Be sure to get them before the weeds' flowers dry out and drop their seeds. Pull out weeds from the root in vegetable or edible flower gardens, and dig up the roots if the weeds snap off at ground level. If you choose to treat weeds with weed killer, find one that's safe for bees, other pollinators, and pets — and wear a respirator and heavy rubber gloves to ensure that it doesn't irritate your skin or your lungs.
How do I fix burned 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 by the following week. The game plan 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 seed, sod, or patch and repair grass seed.
When should I water my garden?
If you can water at least once a day, during the evening or in the early morning, that's ideal. When it's extremely hot out, twice is better. Watering during the heat of the day means a lot of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: lawns, trees, and gardens. Whenever you water, give all the plants a good drink, and don't skip it if it's not the ideal time. The plants still need hydration, regardless of the time on the clock. Depending on your lawn health, grass type, and climate, you may also want to add a lawn fertilizer.
How do I fertilize my plants?
Once you've gotten your plants into the soil, make sure they stay hydrated and well-fed. Choose an organic or synthetic fertilizer to give 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. Only apply as often as recommended on the packaging. 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 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. However, 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. Go back 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 doesn't have to be a barbeque party. If you're planning on firing up the grill, make sure you know how to clean a grill when you're done. Many people relax outdoors and chat away the afternoon or maybe cook a meal 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.

Settle Into Summer
As we continue deeper into 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 with proper tending and irrigation. You might also need ways to beat the heat. We can help. At The Home Depot Ofallon 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. Give it some TLC so it looks fresh again. 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. In the summer, they'll be growing fast, filled with buds and blooms before you know it. Trim wild branches to the 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 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. 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, 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 your plants' nutrient intake. Apply plant food and fertilizer as recommended. We've even got fertilizers to match the 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 part of the plant. 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.
Trees as Natural Shade
Trees are the ultimate natural source of shade, and they can change the look of your yard. Whether you plant an accent tree 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.
A house framed by beautiful trees can seem picture-perfect, but research the specific trees you want before planting them. Consider how deep the taproots go, the full-grown size of the trees you want, and how far the root ball extends outward. Trees will always find the easiest source of water, so be sure to plant them away from your water pipes to avoid roots growing into them. As majestic as trees are, it's important to also consider how and where they'd fall if a major storm or disease weakened them.
If you've diligently planned, found trees you love, and know the perfect places to put them, get planting. That way, you can enjoy the leaves rustling in the breeze and dappled shade as soon as possible.
