Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
What's my planting zone?
Check the USDA plant zone map, as planting zones have changed over the years. Zones with higher numbers can begin planting earlier in the year. Up the odds of successful gardening by planting flowers, trees, and vegetables that grow well in your area.
Does the type of mulch delivery affect the cost?
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 will arrive via car with a $3 fee, medium orders utilize our vans for a $35 fee, and large orders come to you in a box truck or flatbed truck at a $79 fee.
Can I get my mulch order loaded into my truck?
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. An associate will load your small or medium mulch order into your truck or SUV. For very large orders of bagged mulch or bulk mulch, we recommend 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 get 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 flatbed or large truck delivery?
When you're ordering pallets of bagged mulch or huge quantities of loose mulch, you'll be looking at flatbed or box truck delivery. Often, these are Pro customers, serious DIYers, or landscapers undertaking a major landscaping project. There's a minimum pallet order to maximize resources and usually a delivery fee. Orders that pass a threshold may qualify for free delivery.
How can I treat weeds in my vegetable garden?
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 the weeds' flowers dry out and drop their seeds. Pull out weeds from the root in edible flower or vegetable gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snaps off at ground level. If you choose to treat weeds with weed killer, find one that's safe for bees, other pollinators, and pets — and wear heavy rubber gloves and a respirator to ensure that it doesn't irritate your lungs or skin.
Can I fix burnt grass?
The solution for how to get burnt grass green again is easy: Fix the scorched spot with a lengthy 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 treating grass damaged by dog urine isn't as straightforward. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replanted in fresh soil with new sod, grass seed, or patch and repair grass seed.
When should I water the grass?
If you can water at least once a day, close to sunrise or sunset, that's ideal. When it's extremely hot out, twice is better. Watering when the sun is at its peak 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 thorough drink, and don't skip it if it's not the ideal time. The plants still need hydration, no matter what time it is. Depending on your lawn health, climate, and grass type, you may also want to look into applying a lawn fertilizer.
Do my plants need fertilizer?
Once you've gotten your plants settled into 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. 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 under a patio umbrella or a covered gazebo. If you have sturdy structures like a shed or house, 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 refreshingly relaxing day. Go back to lounging in the sun when that water-cooled 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 patio makeover or create your own patio conversation sets from scratch to do it. Even a tiny backyard refresh can make a huge difference. New outdoor lounge furniture, rugs, or even outdoor string lights can breathe new life into a patio.

Celebrate Summertime Gardening
As summer stretches on, your garden and landscaping will weather more sun and heat than earlier in the year. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool with proper tending and irrigation. Just like we can get sunburned, plants can dry out, grass can get scorched, 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.
Keep Your Lawn Tidy
As the weeks tick by, the sod or grass seed you planted will grow taller than what's ideal. You'll need to maintain it so it'll look manicured and fresh again. Keep the lawn in check with a lawn mower and a string trimmer to knock down any tall grass around fences, sidewalks, or buildings.
Bushes, shrubs, and trees 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 you want 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 watering your vegetable garden, don't forget about the trees and shrubs. 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 shrubs and trees — just make sure you aim the water at the roots. It'll help prolong the greenery and prevent it from turning yellow or brown. Also, check for damaged areas on your trees and shrubs. Pests can destroy your greenery.
Look for holes in leaves, 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. Research and care for any of these issues as soon as possible, as they may ultimately end the life of your tree.
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 thrive in 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 porch, window sill, or even in wall planters. Herbs also work well in a hydroponic garden, which doesn't use soil. Instead, they grow in a mixture of sand, rock chips, or perlite.
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. Before you shop, plan so you know how to plant a tree — whether they're evergreens, deciduous tree saplings, or more mature trees.
Although trees framing a house may look picturesque, you should research the specifics of those trees before you plant them. Consider how far the root ball extends outward, the full-grown size of the trees you want, and how deep the taproots go. Plant your trees far from plumbing pipes, as their strong roots will seek water and creep 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 diligently planned, found trees you love, and know the perfect places to put them, get planting. That way, you can enjoy natural shade and the soothing sound of leaves rustling in the breeze as soon as possible.
