Landscaping in Delaware is drainage and soil before anything ornamental. Northern ground can be tight and hold water at a foundation. Sussex sand drains fast and then washes in a hard rain. Flat lots near marshes stay soft. If water moves toward the house, or sits under it, say that before you talk about plants. A green yard can still be rotting a sill.
Lawns fight humidity and, on the coast, salt spray and sand. A regular cut is a different call from grading, beds, or a tree on the roof. Downspouts that dump at the stoop, soil above the siding, and a crawl space that stays wet are building problems wearing yard clothes. Shade from pines and hardwoods leaves moss in side yards. Describe the slope in plain words.
Beach lots take wind and salt on every planting, and they often have little soil depth above sand. Inland farms and suburbs deal with different weeds, a longer list of trees, and grading left when the house was built. Irrigation has to be shut down before a freeze in much of the state, and it should not soak the foundation. Broken heads and a wish for drip are specific. So is hauling leaves off a wooded northern lot.
If a tree is the subject, say whether limbs hit the roof, roots heave a walk, or the canopy keeps the house in shade all day. Access on a tight beach block is not access on a rural acre. Mowing a small suburban lawn is not clearing a season of debris from a lot at the edge of a marsh. Say the county so the plant talk starts in the right ground.
Walk the downspouts and the place water sits after a storm. Landscaping in Delaware should move water away from the house and then live with sand, salt, or northern clay, whichever you actually have. Tell us mow, grade, plant, tree, or sprinkler. Call the number on this page.
