Frequently Asked Questions About Your Store
How do I treat weeds?
Weeds are likely poking through in the garden beds, even if you put down mulch or a landscape fabric liner to keep them at bay. Pull weeds from the root in vegetable gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snapped off without them. Be sure to get them before the weeds' flowers dry out and drop their seeds. If you'd like to treat weeds with weed killer, check that it's safe for bees, other pollinators, and pets — and wear a respirator and heavy rubber gloves to ensure that it doesn't touch your lungs or your skin.
Is crispy grass dead?
It could be, but it's also likely taking a nap during those summer temps. Cool-season grass goes dormant in the summer. It isn't usually dead — just brown and crispy. Here's how you can check on it: If you tug on a grass blade and it pulls right out, it's time to plant new grass seed or sod because the grass is a goner. Water dormant lawns deeply and infrequently. Warm-season grass needs water every few days in the summer. It should stay green if it's healthy. We have the lawn care you need for healthy warm-season and cool-season grass.
Is there an ideal time to water my lawn and garden?
If you can water close to sunrise or sunset, that's ideal. Watering during the heat of the day means a great deal of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you've got growing: trees, grass, plants, and veggies. Whenever you water, give all the plants a good drink, and don't skip it when it's not the perfect time. The plants still need water to live, no matter what time it is. Depending on your grass type, lawn health, and climate, you may also want to look into applying a lawn fertilizer.
Does my flower garden need fertilizer?
Once you've got your plants into pots or the ground, 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. Follow the application instructions and don't add extra. Remember to 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 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 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 BBQ party. Some focus on the grill or fire pit, while others concentrate on yard games. Many people relax outdoors and chat away the afternoon. However you bond, extend the fun into the evening with proper outdoor lighting and a bug-free yard without pesky mosquitos.

Set Up For Summer
As summer stretches on, your garden and landscaping will weather more sun than earlier in the season. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool. You might also need ways to beat the heat. We can help. At The Home Depot Santa Fe Garden Center, we've got what you need to make the most of summer.
Grow a Healthy Lawn
If you're worried that your lawn has crispy and brown blades of grass, don't panic. It's possible that you've got a cool season grass that goes dormant and turns brown in the summertime heat. If that's the case, it’ll be an overall shade of brown, but not green with brown patches. Gently tug out a blade of grass to check the roots: If it comes right out, the grass is likely dead and will need to be replaced with new grass seed or sod. If it doesn't pull right out, it's dormant. That means it's growing and resting under the ground. Water dormant grass deeply once or twice per week, but don't fertilize it.
Warm-season grass stays green in the summer. If you have this kind of lawn, water it deeply once a week. Give it another drink every day or two, depending on your weather. Avoid overwatering, and let the lawn dry out after heavy rains before you get out the sprinkler or hose again. Water your lawn when the top two inches of soil is dry to the touch. You can test with your finger. This might happen quicker than you'd think during periods of drought. It's ok to let it grow taller in the summer, as cutting your lawn too short isn't healthy for it.
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 flowers and plants is to aim the water at the roots. A garden hose, sprinkler or sprinkler system, or drip irrigation system will work well. You don't need to water or even mist the blooms themselves. Many flowers wilt when they get wet, but they'll recover just fine once they dry off. Succulents are 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 the nutrients your plants are getting. 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.
Grow Your Own Herbs
Get fresh flavors to accent your homegrown produce and spice up your mealtimes with herb gardening. 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. So just keep them in decorative plant pots on a sunny porch, window sill, or even in wall planters. Herbs also work as a hydroponic garden, which means they don't grow in soil. Instead, they grow in a mixture of rock chips, perlite, or sand.
Vines as Decorative Shade
Set up vines to climb an arched arbor or trellis to provide both shade and beauty. Vine plants that are native to your area are a good choice for success and attract pollinators. Wisteria, jasmine, and ivy are common options for creating a stunning archway or 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.
