Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
How do I know which planting zone I'm in?
Take a look at the USDA plant hardiness zone map, as planting zones have evolved over the years. Zones with higher numbers can begin planting earlier in the year. Up the odds of successful gardening by planting flowers, trees, and vegetables that grow well in your area.
Does The Home Depot deliver mulch?
This year, enjoy free mulch delivery from our stores when you meet 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 will ship to you in a flatbed or box truck at a $79 fee.
What if I want to pick up the mulch myself?
Yes, you can pick up your own mulch. Even better, we're happy to help if you need it. After you purchase mulch online with store pickup or buy it in-store, go to the mulch loading zone or drive-thru if your store has one. An Orange Apron will 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.
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 standard 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 store to store, 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 loose mulch or pallets of bagged mulch, you'll get flatbed or box truck delivery. Most of the time, these are landscapers, serious DIYers, or Pro customers 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 are good ways to get rid of weeds?
Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down a landscape fabric liner or mulch to keep them at bay. Be sure to get them before they go to seed. Pull out weeds from the root in vegetable or edible flower gardens, and dig up the roots if the weeds snap off without them. If you choose to treat weeds with weed killer, find one that's safe for pollinators and pets — and wear a respirator and thick rubber gloves to ensure that it doesn't touch your skin or get in your lungs.
How do I fix grass damaged by pets?
The solution for how to get burnt grass green again is easy: Fix the scorched spot with a good long drink. You'll need to rehydrate those roots. It should perk up by the following 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 replaced in fresh soil with new grass or patch and repair grass seed.
When should I water my flowers?
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 during the heat of the day means a lot of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you've got growing: lawns, trees, and gardens. 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 hydration, 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.
How do I fertilize my plants?
Once you've got your plants in the ground, you'll need to make sure they stay well-fed and hydrated. 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 the heat, shelter beneath a patio umbrella or a covered gazebo. If you have sturdy structures like a 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 an uncomfortable afternoon into a refreshingly relaxing day. Return to lounging in the sun when that chilled air is ready.
How do I make my patio look special for entertaining?
Spending time with friends in gorgeous summertime weather makes the season even more special. But you don't need to do a full backyard makeover or create your own patio conversation sets from scratch to do it. Even a tiny backyard refresh can make a big difference. New outdoor lounge furniture, rugs, or even outdoor string lights can bring character to a patio.

The Home Depot Garden Center at Ocotillo/S Chandler
Set Up For Summer
As we continue deeper into summer, your garden and landscaping will weather more heat and sun than earlier in the year. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool. Just like we can get sunburned, trees can lose their leaves prematurely, grass can get scorched, and plants can dry out. We can help. At The Home Depot Ocotillo/S Chandler 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. You'll need to maintain it so it'll look fresh and manicured again. Keep the lawn in check with a riding lawn mower and a string trimmer to knock down any tall grass around sidewalks, fences, or buildings.
Trees, shrubs, and bushes climb toward the sun and lose their shape over time. In the summer, they'll be growing fast, filled with buds before you know it. Prune them back to better show off their verdant beauty 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 branches on trees and bushes.
Care for Your Trees and Shrubs
When you're watering your vegetable garden, don't forget about the trees and shrubs. They may need less watering than summer flowers or vegetable plants, but they can still dry out in the hot sun. It's not difficult to learn how to water bushes and trees — just aim the water at the roots. It'll help prolong the greenery and prevent it from turning yellow or brown. Also, check for damage on your trees and shrubs. Pests can wreak havoc on your greenery if you don't catch them in time.
Look for holes in leaves, spots on leaves or bark, or strange raised scars on the bark that look like artistic decoration. When your leaves look like lace, something is eating them. Spots may indicate a number of issues ranging from bugs to fungus. Those scar-like lines on tree bark could mean your tree is infected with borers, which are insects that lay eggs inside the bark and then burrow out after they hatch. Research and care for any of these issues as soon as possible, as a severe case may kill all or part of your tree or shrub.
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 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 doesn't use soil. Instead, they grow in a mixture of sand, rock chips, or perlite.
Trees as Natural Shade
Trees are the ultimate natural source of shade, and they can change the look of your yard. Whether you plant a few trees as accents, a few more to bear fruit, or a whole mini-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.
Although trees framing a house may look picturesque, you should research the specifics of those trees before you plant them. Consider how far the root ball extends outward, the full-grown size of the trees you want, and how deep the taproots go. Plant your trees far from plumbing pipes, as their strong roots will seek water and creep into piping to get it. 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 researched and 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.
