Take a look at the USDA plant zone map, as planting zones have changed over time. Zones with bigger numbers can plant earlier in the year. Pick plants that are meant for your zone and up the odds of successful gardening.

This year, enjoy free mulch delivery from our stores when you hit a purchase threshold. Our associates partner with a third-party to help you get started on your landscaping project by delivering your mulch in a vehicle that matches your project needs. Small orders arrive in a car for a $3 fee, medium orders utilize our vans at a $35 fee, and large orders come to you in a box truck or flatbed for a $79 fee.

Yes, you're welcome to pick up your mulch yourself. We're also happy to help if you need it. After you buy mulch in-store or online with store pickup, go to the mulch loading zone or drive-thru if your store has one. One of our associates will load a small or medium mulch order directly into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bagged mulch or bulk yard mulch, we encourage you to choose delivery.

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 car or van for just a $3 delivery fee. Loose mulch orders, also called bulk or yard mulch, will come in a truck. If you order a specific number of bags, you may qualify for free delivery. That threshold varies from one store to the next. However, you'll be able to verify the cost at checkout.

When you're ordering huge quantities of bulk yard mulch or pallets of bagged mulch, you'll get box truck or flatbed delivery. Often, these are Pro customers, landscapers, or serious DIYers 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.

Weeds are likely poking 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 pollinators and pets — and wear a respirator and thick rubber gloves to ensure that it doesn't get in your lungs or touch your skin.

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 over the course of a week. The game plan for treating grass damaged by dog urine isn't as simple. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replanted in fresh soil with new sod, grass seed, or patch and repair grass seed.

If you can water at least once a day, during the evening or in the early morning, 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've got growing: trees, lawns, and gardens. Whenever you water, give all the plants a thorough 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 lawn health, climate, and grass type, you may also want to look into adding a lawn fertilizer.

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 your plants don't get fertilizer burn.

When you need a break from the heat, shelter beneath a patio umbrella or a covered gazebo. If you have sturdy structures like a house, 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 refreshingly relaxing day. Go back to lounging in the sun when that chilled air is ready.

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 furniture collection from scratch to do it. Even a tiny backyard refresh can make a big difference. A new outdoor rug, outdoor lounge furniture, or even a string of outdoor lights can breathe new life into a patio.
