"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

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.

Yes, if you are using rocks to form a pathway or driveway, it’s a good idea to first install landscape fabric before layering in your rocks. Landscape fabric is your first line of defense against unwanted grass and weeds on your rocky surface.

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.

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
