DIFFICULTY RATING: (1 out of 5 - Beginner)

Moving a shrub can be a relatively quick and easy project. For bigger shrubs, recruit a helping hand.
Step 4: Place the plant in the hole and fill with soil
 Place the plant into the new hole. Fill the hole two-thirds full with soil. Flood the hole with water, and then add more soil. If the plant is too low, raise it with a shovel and add more soil. Add soil as necessary until it is at ground level. Tamp the soil down with your foot.
Flood the hole with water to settle the soil.
