"Used Shuba's Landscape In Felton DE to update our Landscaping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great results with this contractor. Had a Landscaping "PLAN" done then shopped contractors to do the work. Our experience with Shub's was outstanding, quickly provided competitive pricing estimate confirmed details of what they were going to provide in writing, discussed dates for the work to be done. Shub's crew showed up before 8 am the day we agreed, crew introduced themselves asked a few question and got to work, man did they work. Everything came out beautiful cleaned up the property installed shrubs perfectly, asked many times if we were satisfied. If you live in Central DE and want landscaping done Shub's is a great Option very happy with the results and price did not take the lowest bid got 3. Shubs is not our regular mowing irrigation contractor and still had GREAT result! We worked with A formal Jake who was knowledgeable, pleasant and very efficient. You can contact Shub's 302-632-6697 9901 Dupont Hwy DE"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

While both fall and spring are suitable times of the year for planting trees, fall is typically the better option. Soil stays warm long enough to allow tree roots to establish in fall before they go dormant, while spring might give way to intense summer heat before spring-planted trees have time to grow strong roots.

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.

The best landscaping for a septic drain field is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

Xeriscaping can be more affordable than traditional landscaping, but it depends on your landscape design. However, you will save on water. If you live in an arid climate or a location prone to droughts, xeriscaping is an especially efficient way of reducing your lawn’s water demand without detracting from the beauty of your yard.
