Keep these things in mind when planting shrubs.
Shrubs are an essential part of landscaping because they serve a range of purposes. Because they are so versatile, there are so many situations that you can use them in. They can hide unsightly parts of your property, serve as accent plants, and cover planting beds. However, just because they are versatile does not mean that you should just plant them without first making some considerations. Here are some things to keep in mind before you make the decision to plant shrubs in your yard.
Purpose
What is the intended purpose of your shrub? This is perhaps the most important question to ask yourself before adding a shrub to your property because answering it will tell you a lot of what you need to know to make the best choice. If you are looking for a shrub for aesthetic purposes, then you’ll likely choose a different one than if you were seeking to have a shrub that lasts for the whole year. You should have an idea for what your shrubs will be doing before you decide to plant them.
Logistics
It’s also essential to consider aspects such as space and climate when you are choosing which shrub to plant. If you live in a particularly dry area, you don’t want to choose a shrub that needs a lot of water to survive. Similarly, if you have a small piece of land sectioned off for your shrub, you don’t want to get a shrub that is going to grow to a size bigger than the one you have designed. You’ll also want to see whether or not your shrub will need pruning. It is important for you to do your research on any shrub you’re planning to add to your property so you can have a good idea of whether are not it will be a good fit.

There are many resources out there that can help you with adding shrubs to your property.
