"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

The best time to plant a privet hedge is autumn, ideally October or early November. Fall is the best time to plant privet hedges because young plants need plenty of water to jump-start their growth, and it typically rains more during this season. However, you can also successfully plant privets in the spring.

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.

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.

In addition to aloe vera and lilac, other effective humidity-reducing plants include peace lilies, Boston ferns, English ivy, spider plants, and lucky bamboo. These plants thrive in humid environments and can naturally lower moisture levels. Place them in areas prone to dampness for the best results.
