Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
What's my planting zone?
Check the USDA plant zone map, as planting zones have evolved over the years. Zones with bigger numbers can plant earlier in the year. Choose plants that thrive in your zone and up the odds of successful gardening.
What ways are there to get mulch delivered?
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 mulch jobs, we have a fleet of box trucks and flatbeds 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 reach a purchase threshold may qualify for free delivery. Not sure how much you'll need? Check out our mulch calculator to get started. Keep scrolling for details below on mulch delivery via truck, car, or van.
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 associate will load your small-to-medium mulch order directly into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bagged mulch or yard mulch, delivery is easiest.
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 standard car or van for just a $3 delivery fee. Loose mulch orders, also called yard or bulk 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. 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 mulch, you'll be looking at flatbed or box truck delivery. Often, these are serious DIYers, Pro customers, or landscapers working on a major landscaping project. There's usually a delivery fee and minimum pallet order. Orders that pass a threshold may qualify for free delivery.
How do I treat weeds in my veggie garden?
Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down a landscape liner 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 gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snaps off without them. If you choose to treat weeds with weed killer, find one that's safe for bees, other pollinators, and pets — and wear durable rubber gloves and a respirator to ensure that it doesn't irritate your lungs or skin.
Is brown grass dead?
It could be, but it's probably taking a nap during those summer temperatures. Cool-season grass goes dormant in the summer. It turns brown and crispy, but isn't usually dead. You can check on it though: If you tug on a grass blade and it pulls right out, it's time to plant new seed or sod because the grass is a goner. Water dormant lawns deeply once every week. Warm-season lawns need water every few days in the summer. That grass stays green if it's healthy. We have the lawn care you need for healthy cool-season and warm-season grass.
Is there an ideal time to water my garden?
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 the sun is at its peak means much of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: trees, flowers, grass, and gardens. Whenever you water, give all the plants a good drink, and don't skip it if it's not the perfect time. The plants still need water to live, no matter what time it is. Depending on your climate, lawn health, and grass type, you may also want to apply a lawn fertilizer.
Does my garden need fertilizer?
Once you've gotten your plants into the soil, make sure they stay well-fed and hydrated. Choose an organic or synthetic fertilizer that fits your needs and gives 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. Avoid applying more often than recommended. Always water immediately after, as directed, so your plants don't get fertilizer burn.
How can I keep cool this summer?
When you need a break from relentless summer heat, shelter under a covered gazebo or a patio umbrella. If you have sturdy structures like a house or a shed, make your own shade by attaching shade sails and awnings. However, sometimes shade isn't enough because it's just too humid out. That's when a misting fan or patio mister can help cool the air and turn an uncomfortable afternoon into a relaxing day. Return to lounging in the sun when that chilled air is ready.
What can I do to quickly prepare for outdoor 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 minor backyard refresh can make a huge difference. New outdoor lounge furniture, rugs, or even outdoor string lights can breathe new life into a backyard.

Settle Into Summer
As we stretch into the dog days of 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. 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 sail 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. Eventually, it'll need some maintenance to look fresh and manicured. Keep the lawn in check with a push lawn mower and a string trimmer to knock down any tall grass around sidewalks, fences, or buildings.
Bushes, trees, and shrubs climb toward the sun and lose their shape over time. They'll be growing fast, filled with buds before you know it. Trim wild branches to the shape and size you want 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 bushes and trees.
Watch Your Garden Thrive
You'll need to water your garden to keep it going between rainstorms and keep the summer flowering humming along. A general rule when watering plants and flowers is to water the roots. A garden hose, sprinkler or sprinkler system, or drip irrigation system will work well. Contrary to popular belief, the blooms themselves don't need to be watered or even misted. Many flowers droop and wilt when they get wet, but they’ll recover once they dry off. Succulents are the exception to basic watering rules, so look up your specific succulent types to optimize their care.
In addition to watering, keep an eye on the nutrients your plants are getting. Apply fertilizer as recommended. We've even got fertilizers to match the plants you're growing so they'll get the right nutrients.
Grow Your Own Herbs
For fresh flavors to accent your homegrown produce, add herbs. They're generally low-maintenance and grow easily in pots, both indoors and outdoors. 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. To avoid a yard full of volunteer herb sprouts, keep them in decorative pots on a sunny window sill, porch, or even in wall planters. Herbs also work well in a hydroponic garden, which means they don't grow in soil. Instead, they grow in a mixture of rock chips, sand, or perlite.
Vines as Decorative Shade
Set up vines to climb an arched arbor or trellis to provide both shade and beauty. Vine plants native to your area are a good choice for success and attract pollinators. Wisteria, jasmine, and ivy are common options for creating a stunning pathway. Remember to match your vine plants to how much sunlight you receive, as not all of them thrive in full sun. As a bonus, many vines put out sweet-smelling flowers with a delightful fragrance you can enjoy as you cool off in the shade.
