[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fall is a good time but it might be getting a bit late now. You might want to do in in early spring just after the first frost. You can check with local landscapers or go through Stadler’s or American Plant. AP will do a free consult and give you a proposal; Stadler’s charger a few for the consult, but I think their labor prices are considerably lower. 
I would do research beforehand about what you want to replace those shrubs with. There are SO many options. Think about what you want, and whether you want to incorporate native species, etc. [/quote]

Thanks for those tips! I'll check out Stadlers.[/quote]

You may want to check out American Plant and Stadler’s — walk around and take a look at all the shrubs they have now. You’ll need to figure out how much sun the front of your house gets, and figure out what level of maintenance you’re comfortable with. Ten years ago, I had a bunch of things planted and didn’t do much maintenance....  this time around, I’ve been doing my research and learning more about different plants’ fertilizing needs. I suggest you plant some evergreen shrubs that will be green all winter, some flowering perennials that will come back every year. And if you want, leave space for annuals and bulbs (if you see yourself taking care of them). Or just do evergreens and perennials.

Think about some native plants too!   https://www.laurensgardenservice.com/our-top-10-favorite-maryland-native-pollinator-perennials/[/quote]
