Shrubs are woody plants that are typically smaller than trees. They can provide various benefits, including privacy, shade, and wind protection. In addition, shrubs can add colour and texture to your landscape. When choosing shrubs for your yard, it is important to consider the plant's mature size, growth habit, and sun and water requirements. Once you have selected the right shrubs for your needs, you must prepare the planting site by removing any existing grass or weeds. After that, you can dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Once the shrub is in place, give it plenty of water so the roots can establish themselves. With a little care, your shrubs will thrive for years to come.
