Frequently Asked Questions About Your Store

What do I do about all these 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 edible flower or vegetable gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snapped off at the surface. Be sure to get them before they go to seed. 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 thick rubber gloves to ensure that it doesn't touch your lungs or skin.

Can I fix burned 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 within the next week. On the other hand, the method for treating grass damaged by dog urine isn't as simple. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replaced in fresh soil with new grass or patch and repair grass seed.

When should I water my flowers?

If you can water during the early morning or in the evening, that's ideal. Watering when it's hottest outside means much of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: lawns, trees, and gardens. Whenever you water, give all the plants a good drink, and don't skip it if it's not the best time. The plants still need hydration, no matter what time it is. Depending on your climate, grass type, and lawn health, you may also want to add a lawn fertilizer.

Does my garden need fertilizer?

Once you've planted your plants or flowers, you'll need to make sure they stay hydrated and well-fed. Choose a synthetic or an organic fertilizer that suits 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. Only apply as often as recommended on the packaging. Always water immediately after, as directed, so the plants won't be burned by the fertilizer.

How can I keep cool this summer?

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

Can I do a quick patio makeover before entertaining?

Spending time with friends in gorgeous 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 big difference. New outdoor lounge furniture, rugs, or even outdoor string lights can breathe new life into a backyard space.

The Home Depot Garden Center at Sw Blaine

Explore Our Garden Center Independence Day SaleWelcome Independence Day with the yard of your dreams. Our huge 4th of July Sale can help you do it. To get your grass and trees in shape, we carry outdoor power equipment, including string trimmers, lawn mowers, and hedge trimmers. Fresh fertilizer and another round of mulch might be just what the doctor ordered to perk up your garden. Continue watering your plants regularly to enjoy a stunning summer garden.

Set Up For Summertime
As summer stretches on, your landscaping and garden will weather more heat than earlier in the year. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool with proper tending, shade, and irrigation. Just like we can get sunburned, trees can lose their leaves prematurely, grass can get scorched, and plants can dry out. We can help. At The Home Depot Sw Blaine Garden Center, we've got what you need to make the most of summer.

Keep Your Lawn Tidy
As the weeks tick by, the grass seed or sod you planted will grow taller than what's ideal. Eventually, it'll need some maintenance to look fresh again. Keep the lawn in check with a push lawn mower and a string trimmer to knock down any tall grass around sidewalks, fences, or buildings.

Bushes, trees, and shrubs climb toward the sun and lose their shape over time. In the summer, 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 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 not hard to learn how to water trees and shrubs — just be sure to 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 if you don't catch them in time.

Look for leaves full of holes, spots on leaves or bark, or a network of raised lines on the bark. When your leaves look like lace, something is eating them. Spots may indicate a number of issues ranging from fungus to bugs. 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 a severe case may kill all or part of your tree or shrub.

Grow Your Own Herbs
For fresh flavors to accent your homegrown produce, try 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 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. So just keep them in decorative pots on a sunny 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 appearance of your yard. Whether you plant a few trees as accents, a few more to bear fruit, or a whole mini-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 deep the taproots go, how far the root ball extends outward, and the full-grown size of the trees you want. Plant your trees far from plumbing pipes, as their strong roots will seek water and creep into piping to get it. Leave a safe distance from your home, as large trees can catch the wind if not properly pruned.

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.
