Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
How can I use trimmed tree branches?
A wood chipper makes tiny wood chips, while a log splitter leaves you with more manageable chunks of wood. After pruning bushes and trees with a gas chainsaw or hedge trimmers, clean up the debris in a wood chipper. If your trees are healthy, the bark chips and chopped wood make fresh mulch that you can spread in your garden. If you removed a tree, you can either get a log splitter or a splitting maul to divide the downed tree into smaller pieces. The wood splitter will be quicker and a wise investment if you're doing a large amount of tree cleanup, and bigger is better here.
How can I get rid of fallen leaves from my lawn?
Whether you need the power of a gas leaf blower or the comparatively quieter electric leaf blower, we've got both. Using a leaf blower can help you control the leaves with less physical effort. Electric versions come as corded or cordless leaf blowers, which are also called battery leaf blowers. We've also got handheld, walk-behind, and backpack leaf blower models. Leaf vacuums, vacuum-mulcher combo units, or rakes are additional options. Turn the fallen leaves into mulch and enrich your soil or fill up leaf bags and take them out to the curb.
How do I store my garden tools for the season?
Give your yard and garden 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 your tools well. Next, soak them in a water and bleach mix for 20 minutes to kill off any bacteria or fungus, and follow with a rinse. Then, scrub off rust specks with a wire brush, oil them with vegetable oil or WD-40 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 your outdoor faucets for freezing temperatures by draining and covering them with faucet covers. Winterizing the hose bibb can be put off until washing the car in the driveway 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 underground sprinklers or an irrigation system, drain those as well as per the manufacturer's instructions. You may need an air compressor to remove every drop of water. 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.
What tools do I need for snow removal?
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. Prepare now before the snow starts falling.

Colder temperatures often mean you've wrapped up the gardening and outdoor work for the season. However, if you're motivated and it's not freezing outside, there's usually a project to do. In the meantime, enjoy your plants indoors. Read on for more on final leaf and tree cleanup, indoor gardening, giving next year's garden bed a glow-up, or making the most of a slightly warmer day.
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 slow or stop their growth but may need a trim with pole saws and chainsaws. Leaf maintenance is often still an issue in warmer climates, so check out rakes, leaf blowers, and lawn bags. Also, remember to get buckets and a wheelbarrow 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.
Dote on Indoor Plants
An indoor garden of greenery is also lovely. Look into house plants and create an oasis within your home. A sunroom or covered porch 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 peace lilies. Low-maintenance plants are great for new gardeners, and succulents are drought resistant. 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 in your yard is not suitable for growing or outdoor raised beds aren't available.
A hydroponic garden uses fertilizer and water infused with nutrients to keep plants growing in a substrate that isn't soil — like perlite, sand, or rock chips. It's an excellent way to grow vegetables and herbs. Later in the year, you can just snip an herb or pick a fresh veggie to incorporate 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. Keep in mind that 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 healthy and happy.
Add Decorative Mulch and Retaining Wall Blocks
On days when you'd like to garden but the growing season is over, try doing some prep work for the spring instead. Consider using retaining wall blocks to surround or accent your garden. Just measure the perimeter of your garden to get started on a plan for when the ground thaws. A beautiful garden wall or hardscaping gives a finished look, especially when you spread a layer of rubber mulch. It overwinters well and resists fading longer than other mulches.
Warm the Outdoors with a Fire Pit
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.
When you're curious about how to build an outdoor fire pit or fireplace, we have the supplies you need. We carry brick pavers, mortar, a wheelbarrow, trowels, and more. If you'd love some extra heat but would rather not install a gas fire pit or fireplace, we also have patio heaters, including gas, propane, and electric models.
