Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
How do I check my USDA planting zone?
Check the USDA zone map, as planting zones have shifted slightly over time. Zones with higher numbers can begin planting earlier in the year. Up the odds of successful gardening by planting trees, flowers, and veggies that thrive in your zone.
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. For small orders, we can deliver with a car for a $3 fee. As orders get bigger, we switch to a van for a $35 fee. For the largest projects, 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 car, truck, or van.
Can I get my mulch order loaded into my truck?
Yes, you're welcome to pick up your own mulch. We're also 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 can load your small or medium mulch order directly into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of loose or bagged mulch, we encourage you to choose delivery.
Does my mulch get delivered in a car or van instead of a truck?
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 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 yard mulch or pallets of bagged mulch, you'll get flatbed or box truck delivery. Most of the time, these are serious DIYers, landscapers, or Pro customers 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 do I do about all these weeds?
Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down mulch or landscape liner to keep them at bay. Be sure to get them before they go to seed. 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 skin or 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. You'll need to rehydrate those roots. It should perk up over the course of a week. On the other hand, the game plan 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.
What's the best time to water my lawn and 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 it's hottest outside means a lot of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: gardens, lawns, and trees. 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, climate, and lawn health, you may also want to add a lawn fertilizer.
Do my plants need fertilizer?
Once you've got your plants in the ground, make sure they stay hydrated and well-fed. Choose a synthetic or an organic 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 flower fertilizer, vegetable fertilizer, citrus tree fertilizer, or general garden fertilizer blend. Follow the application instructions and don't add extra. 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 working in the yard, 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 a stifling afternoon into a relaxing day. Return to lounging in the sun when that water-chilled air is ready.
How do I create an outdoor oasis 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 minor backyard refresh can make a huge difference. New outdoor lounge furniture, rugs, or even outdoor string lights can bring character to a backyard space.

Celebrate Summertime Gardening
As summer stretches on, your landscaping and garden will weather more heat 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, grass can get scorched, plants can dry out, and trees can lose their leaves prematurely. We've got advice to help you, your garden, and your lawn make it through the hotter months with flying colors.
Lawn Repair and Patching
Burnt, or scorched, grass has a distinctively shaped discoloration that isn't green. It happens when plastic or metal sits on the grass and bakes in the sunlight, or a reflective surface shines continuously on your lawn. You'll discover it once you move something sitting in the yard, like a trash can or sprinkler. Car windows or mirrors can also scorch grass when the sun angle is just right.
Water scorched grass well and wait a week or so. You should see the signs of life returning by then. If it needs neutralizing after urine damage, you'll need to replace the grass or use patch and repair seed to fix it up.
Whether you're patching a lawn or doing upkeep on your current one, keep in mind which type of grass it is and tailor your lawn care accordingly. Match the grass type to how much sun your lawn gets — or to the existing grass type if you're doing patch repair. For example, if your lawn gets full sun, make sure you plant grass that thrives in the sunlight instead of a type that prefers dappled sun or shade.
Care for Your Trees and Shrubs
When you're watering your vegetable garden, don't forget about the shrubs and trees. They may need less watering than summer flowers or vegetable plants, but they can still dry out in the summer sun. It's easy to learn how to water trees and shrubs — just 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 the trees and shrubs. Pests can wreak havoc on your greenery if you don't catch them in time.
Look for leaves full of holes, spots on leaves or bark, or strange raised scars on the bark. 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. Any of these issues should be researched and cared for as soon as possible, as they may ultimately end the life of your tree or shrub.
Grow Your Own Herbs
Get fresh flavors to accent garden-fresh vegetables by adding 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. Read our herb gardening for beginners guide for details.
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 small 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 sand, perlite, or rock chips.
Vines as Decorative Shade
Plant vines near a trellis or an arched arbor so they'll climb it and give you both beauty and shade. Go with vine plants that are native to your area. They're a good choice for success and attract pollinators. Jasmine, wisteria, 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 some like full sun and others don't. As a bonus, many vines put out sweet-smelling flowers, so you can enjoy a delightful fragrance as you cool off in the shade.
