Trees, shrubs and perennials picked for the spot, not just what looked good at the nursery.
A plant that's wrong for the spot is a callback waiting to happen. New View picks trees, shrubs and perennials based on the actual sun, soil and space on your property, not what's on sale that week.
Planted at the right depth with the right backfill, staked where wind exposure calls for it, and placed as part of the overall design instead of scattered in afterward.
Dubuque sits in USDA hardiness zone 5a to 5b, which narrows down what actually thrives here versus what looks good on a nursery tag from a warmer growing region. We lean toward trees and shrubs proven for this climate, ones that handle our winter lows and don't need constant babying to survive a normal Iowa year.
Fall (roughly September through mid-October) and early spring are the strongest planting windows for trees and shrubs here, giving roots time to establish before either winter dormancy or summer heat stress sets in. New plantings need regular watering through their first full season regardless of when they go in, that establishment period matters more to long-term survival than almost anything else.
Fall (September through mid-October) and early spring are both strong windows, they give roots time to establish before the stress of winter or summer heat hits. We'll time it around your specific project either way.
Based on the actual sun exposure, soil, and space on your property, plus what's proven to handle our zone 5a/5b winters. Not whatever's on sale that week.
