Frequently Asked Questions About Your Store
What should I do about weeds in my garden?
Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down a landscape liner fabric or mulch to keep them at bay. Be sure to get them before they go to seed. Pull out weeds from the root in edible flower or vegetable gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snapped off at ground level. If you choose to treat weeds with weed killer, find one that's safe for pollinators and pets — and wear durable rubber gloves and a respirator to ensure that it doesn't touch your skin or your lungs.
How do I fix sunburned 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. The game plan for treating grass damaged by dog urine isn't as straightforward. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replaced in fresh soil with new grass, sod, or patch and repair grass seed.
When should I water my garden?
If you can water during the early morning or in the evening, that's ideal. Watering when the sun is at its peak means much of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: gardens, lawns, and trees. Whenever you water, give all the plants a thorough drink, and don't skip it just because it's not the best time. The plants still need water to live, no matter what time it is. Depending on your lawn health, climate, and grass type, you may also want to add a lawn fertilizer.
Should I fertilize a fruit tree?
Once you've gotten your plants settled into the ground, you'll need to make sure they stay hydrated and well-fed. Choose an organic or synthetic fertilizer to give your garden a boost. You can even find one specially formulated for your plants, whether you need a vegetable fertilizer, fruit tree fertilizer, succulent plant food, or a general garden fertilizer. Only apply as often as recommended on the packaging. 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 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 a stifling afternoon into a relaxing day. Return to lounging in the sun when that water-cooled air is ready.
What do I need for backyard entertaining?
Backyard entertaining is whatever you'd like it to be — it doesn't have to be a barbecue party. Some focus on the grill or fire pit, while others concentrate on yard games. Many people simply relax outdoors and chat. However you bond with friends, extend the fun into the evening with proper outdoor lighting and a bug-free yard without pesky mosquitos.

Celebrate Summertime Gardening
As we continue deeper into summer, 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 proper tending and irrigation. You might also need ways to beat the heat. Let us help. At The Home Depot Somersworth Garden Center, we've got what you need to make the most of summer.
Lawn Repair and Patching
Scorched, or burnt, grass has an oddly shaped discoloration that looks yellow. 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 out in the yard, like a garden hose. Car mirrors or windows 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 requires neutralizing after urine damage, you'll have 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 to it. Match the grass type to your lawn if you're doing patch repair. When planting new grass, choose a variety that works with the amount of sun your lawn gets. For example, if your lawn is shaded by trees and gets dappled sun or partial shade, make sure you plant grass that's not meant for full sun.
Care for Your Trees and Shrubs
When you're making sure your garden is watered, don't forget about the trees and shrubs. They may need less watering than summer flowers or vegetable plants, but they can still get seriously parched in the sun. It's not difficult to learn how to water trees and shrubs — just aim the water at the roots. It'll help prolong the greenery and prevent it from turning yellow or brown. Also, check for damage on your trees and shrubs. Pests can wreak havoc on 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. Any of these issues should be researched and cared for as soon as possible, as they may ultimately end the life of your tree.
Vertical Edible Gardening
Grow produce vertically for a smart use of space. Many veggie plants are vines and well-suited to climb a fence or trellis, so plant them next to one. The key to success is supporting the stem, fruit, and branches. This is so the weight of the plant doesn't snap the the stem or branches Fasten the plant to a trellis, fence, or pole with string, plant ties and wires, garden wire, or fabric strips. Be sure to attach each plant loosely. That way, the stem has room to grow wider and the branches and leaves can sway in the breeze.
Cucumbers, watermelon, strawberries, and tomatoes need support as they bear fruit. Melons and squash require hammocks made of string, a sling, old nylons, or other stretchy fabric to support the weighty produce. All of these plants take up less space on the ground this way, which allows you to fit even more plants or have walking room in between.
Trees as Natural Shade
Trees are the ultimate natural source of shade, and they can change the appearance 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 deciduous tree saplings, evergreens, or more mature trees.
A house framed by beautiful trees can seem picture-perfect, but research the specific trees you want before planting them. Consider how far the root ball extends outward, the full-grown size of the trees you want, and how deep the taproots go. Trees will always find the easiest source of water, so be sure to plant them away from your water pipes to avoid roots growing into them. As majestic as trees are, it's important to also consider how and where they'd fall if disease or a storm weakened them.
If you've diligently planned, found trees you love, and know the perfect places to put them, get planting. That way, you can enjoy the leaves rustling in the breeze and dappled shade sooner rather than later.
