"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 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.

You can fill the holes weeds leave behind with soil or sand to avoid unsightly spots or tripping hazards. If you remove weeds from a grassy area, fill the hole with soil and grass seed, and water regularly to promote grass growth.

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It’s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don’t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.
