We just had our entire property landscaped three weeks ago. Ours is a new home and up until that time, the only thing we had was sod because it was a requirement.

We had over 100 shrubs and plants plus a few trees installed by Earthscapes. They did an incredible job which included sod removal, sprinkler revamping, mulching and a number of other things. Yes, you can plant this time of the year and no, you won't see much growth, if any.

If you have the work done by a landscaper, they should give you a guarantee. If you are doing it yourself and buying your own things make sure you purchase plants and shrubs that will grow here. Don't fertilize until early Spring, make sure you give adequate water and double check on a guarantee so you will be covered in the event your things croak!

Good luck!
