How do I check my USDA planting zone?
Check the USDA plant hardiness zone map, as planting zones have evolved over the years. Zones with bigger numbers can begin planting earlier in the year. Pick plants that grow well in your zone and increase your odds of successful gardening.
How much is mulch delivery at The Home Depot?
The Home Depot offers flexible mulch delivery options nationwide based on the size of your order. We can deliver small orders via car for a $3 fee. As orders grow to medium-sized, we switch to a van for a $35 fee. For massive jobs, we have a fleet of flatbeds and box trucks ready to deliver to your job site for a $79 fee. Of course, you can always choose our free in-store pickup option as well, and orders that meet a purchase threshold may qualify for free delivery. Not sure how much you'll need? Check out our mulch calculator to get started. Get more details below on mulch delivery via van, truck, or car.
Do you offer self-pickup for mulch orders?
Yes, you're welcome to pick up your own mulch. We're also ready 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 can load a small or medium mulch order directly into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bulk or bagged mulch, we recommend 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. Yard mulch, also called loose or bulk mulch, will come in a truck. If you order a specific number of bags, you may get free delivery. That threshold varies from store to store, but you'll be able to verify the cost at checkout.
What size mulch order gets flatbed delivery?
When you're ordering huge quantities of yard mulch or pallets of bagged mulch, you'll be looking at box truck or flatbed delivery. Normally, these are serious DIYers, Pro customers, or landscapers undertaking 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 are likely poking through in the garden beds, even if you put down mulch or a landscape liner to keep them at bay. Pull out weeds from the root in vegetable gardens, and dig up the roots if the weeds snap off at the surface. Be sure to get them before they go to seed. If you'd like to treat weeds with weed killer, check that it's safe for pollinators and pets — and wear a respirator and durable rubber gloves to ensure that it doesn't touch your skin or get in your lungs.
Is it possible to fix scorched 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 method for how to treat grass from dog urine isn't as simple. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replaced in fresh soil with new sod, grass seed, 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 when it's hottest outside means much of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: gardens, trees, lawns, and flowers. Whenever you water, give all the plants a good drink, and don't skip it when it's not the ideal time. The plants still need hydration, no matter what time it is. Depending on your grass type, lawn health, and climate, you may also want to look into adding a lawn fertilizer.
Does my flower garden need fertilizer?
Once you've got your plants in the ground, make sure they stay hydrated and well-fed. Choose an organic or synthetic fertilizer that suits your needs and gives your garden a boost. You can even find one specially 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. 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 relentless summer heat, 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. 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 an uncomfortable afternoon into a relaxing day. Go back to lounging in the sun when that chilled air is ready.
How do I entertain on the patio?
Backyard entertaining doesn't have to be a barbeque party. If you're focused on firing up the grill, make sure you know how to clean a grill when you're done. Many people relax outdoors or cook a meal together in an outdoor kitchen. However you bond, extend the fun into the evening with proper outdoor lighting and a bug-free yard without pesky mosquitoes.

Set Up For Summertime
As we continue deeper into summer, your garden and landscaping will weather more heat and sun than earlier in the season. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool with irrigation, shade, and proper tending. 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 grass seed or sod 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 riding lawn mower and a string trimmer to knock down any tall grass around buildings, sidewalks, or fences.
Bushes, shrubs, and trees climb toward the sun and lose their shape over time. They'll be growing fast, filled with blooms 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 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 bushes and trees.
Care for Your Trees and Shrubs
When you're ensuring your garden is watered, don't forget about the shrubs and trees. They may need less watering than delicate flowers or vegetable plants, but they can still dry out in the hot sun. It's not difficult to learn how to water trees and shrubs — just make sure you aim the water at the roots. It'll help prolong the greenery and keep 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 bark or leaves, 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.
Grow Your Own Herbs
Get fresh flavors to accent the foods you love with herb gardening. They're generally low-maintenance. It's easy to learn how to grow herbs indoors, but you can raise them outside, too. If you grow herbs outdoors, stick to heat-loving herbs that'll endure the summer temperatures, and consider a hanging herb garden. Read our herb gardening guide for beginners for more info.
Planting herbs in the ground can be tricky, as many of them — especially mint — are invasive and will take over your lawn. To avoid a yard full of volunteer herb sprouts, keep them in decorative plant pots on a porch, window sill, or even in wall planters. Herbs also work as a hydroponic garden, which doesn't use soil. Instead, they grow in a mixture of rock chips, perlite, or sand.
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 or a small forest, keep in mind this is a long-term commitment. Trees live many decades when they're healthy. Learn how to plant a tree before you shop — whether you're planting 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 the full-grown size of the trees you want, how far the root ball extends outward, and how deep the taproots go. Plant your trees far from water pipes, as their strong roots will seek water and wend into piping to get it. A tree with a full canopy of leaves catches wind like a sail, so make sure it's planted a safe distance from your home.
If you've carefully 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.
