Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
How can I use the extra wood after tree trimming or tree removal?
A wood chipper makes tiny wood chips, while a wood splitter leaves you with more manageable chunks of wood. After pruning trees and bushes with hedge trimmers or a gas chainsaw, clean up the debris in a wood chipper. If your trees are healthy, the chopped wood and bark chips make fresh mulch that you can spread in your garden. If you removed a tree, you can either get a splitting maul or a log splitter to divide the downed tree into smaller pieces. The wood splitter will be quicker and a wise investment if you're doing a vast amount of tree cleanup, and the bigger the splitter, the better.
Is it better to use a rake or leaf blower on fallen leaves?
Keep leaf maintenance under control with just a few tools. For a quiet workout that saves you money compared to methods, go with a rake, some work gloves, and lawn and leaf bags. We've also got leaf blowers if you'd prefer outdoor power tools.
How do I maintain a chainsaw?
To maintain outdoor power equipment, clean it before you store it. Check your owner's manual or the manufacturer's website for info on caring for a certain tool. For battery-powered tools, store the batteries in a place that won't freeze, as they don't do well with extreme temperatures. Idle gas tools until they sputter dry and then change the oil. It'll save you money and time in the long run, as your tools will last longer when you put some care into them.
How do I prepare outdoor hose faucets for winter?
Prepare your outdoor faucets for freezing temperatures by draining and covering them with faucet covers. Winterizing the hose bibb can be put off until watering the garden or washing the car in the driveway is done for the year, but don't wait too long. With all hoses disconnected, turn off the indoor valves that control the spigots, then run the water until it stops. If you have pop-up sprinklers or a drip irrigation system, drain those as well as per the manufacturer's instructions. You may need a rental air compressor to get every last drop of water out. Even though your pool is winterized by now, you may be able to prepare for next summer by searching for sales on a pool vacuum and pool cover. That way, you'll be all set for the cold now and the heat later.
What tools do I need for snow removal?
In climates where it gets cold and snowy, preparing your snow removal tools is key. Snow blowers are great, but keep a snow shovel or two to clean trouble spots or chip away ice patches. We carry gas snow blowers, electric snow blowers, and cordless ones, too. People with larger driveways may consider using a spreader to easily distribute the ice melt or salt to clear a path to the car or mailbox. Shop now before the weather cools more and the snow rolls in.

Colder temperatures often mean you've wrapped up the gardening and outdoor work for the season. However, if you're motivated and it's not freezing outside, there are usually other projects to do. In the meantime, enjoy your plants indoors. Read on for more on final leaf and tree cleanup, indoor gardening, giving next year's garden bed a glow-up, or making the most of a slightly warmer day.
Leaf Upkeep and Tree Maintenance in Warmer Climates
When cold winter temps rise enough, take advantage of it to do outdoor maintenance. Trees and bushes need a trim with pole saws, pruners, and chainsaws as they slow or stop their growth for the season. Fallen leaves are a concern even late in the season in warmer climates, so check out leaf blowers, yard waste bags, and rakes. Remember buckets and a wheelbarrow to transport leaves and branches. Of course, if you've got snow on the ground, you're off the hook until it melts and the ground thaws.
Dote on Indoor Plants
Enjoy caring for indoor house plants. A nurturing routine for your plants can create a peaceful addition to your home life. Indoor plants can help clean the air, cheer up your home's interior, and brighten your outlook.
Many types of plants will thrive indoors, from bonsai trees to fruit trees to traditional potted plants like monsteras. Succulents are drought resistant, and low-maintenance plants are great for new or nervous gardeners. If you have furry friends, be sure to look for dog-safe plants and cat-safe indoor plants. As long as the plant pots are big enough and you follow the directions for sunlight and watering, you'll soon have a green and gorgeous indoor garden. Remember to place decorative dishes beneath them if the pots don't have built-in overflow dishes to catch any extra water.
Garden with Air Instead of Soil
For a different type of indoor planting, try hydroponic gardening. Hydroponics are an unconventional choice for indoor gardens. You can also keep them going year-round if outdoor raised beds aren't an option or the existing soil is not suitable for growing.
A hydroponic garden uses water infused with nutrients and fertilizer to keep plants growing in a substrate that's not soil — like perlite, sand, or rock chips. It's an excellent way to grow vegetables and herbs. Later in the year, you can just snip sprigs of herbs or pick a fresh veggie to incorporate into your meal. You can also use hydroponics to grow some select types of succulents.
Spread Nutrients
Give your house plants a nutritious place to grow with fertilizer and proper soil. Potted plants all do best with specialty potting soil. Succulents need a sandier soil mix that allows for lots of drainage. For optimal results, always match your soil to your plants when transplanting to larger containers.
Fertilizer replenishes and adds nutrients and trace minerals that your soil may lack. Fill in the blanks with fertilizer. We stock many types of organic and non-organic plant fertilizers to keep your indoor plants happy and healthy.
Add Decorative Mulch and Retaining Wall Blocks
On days when you'd like to garden but the growing season is over, do some prep work for the spring instead. Consider using retaining wall blocks to accent or surround your garden. Just measure the perimeter of your garden to get started on a plan for when the ground thaws. A beautiful garden wall or hardscaping gives a finished look, especially when you spread a layer of rubber mulch. It overwinters just fine and looks new longer than bark chips or other mulches that fade with weathering.
Warm the Outdoors with a Fire Pit
Stretch out warmer winter evenings with a patio heater, fire pit, or outdoor fireplace to take off the chill. No matter if you're looking for outdoor heaters for decks, small patios, or cozy porches, we've got options. All you have to do is pick the one that matches your decor style.
When you're curious about how to build an outdoor fireplace or fire pit, we have the supplies you need. We carry brick pavers, mortar, a wheelbarrow, trowels, and more. If you'd love some extra heat but would rather not install a gas fire pit or fireplace, we also have patio heaters, including gas, propane, and electric models.
