Trees, evergreens and shrubs chosen for southern Minnesota and placed with room to grow, for privacy, shade and year-round structure.
Trees and shrubs are the long-term structure of a landscape. At Peters’ Patio and Landscape, we plant trees, evergreens and shrubs for homeowners in Rochester and southern Minnesota, as part of new planting beds or on their own.
Most problems with trees and shrubs come from placement: a spruce planted too close to the house, shrubs that cover the windows in five years, or a plant that is not hardy enough for a Minnesota winter. We choose plants for the site's sun, soil and space, and plan for their mature size.
Common goals are privacy screening with evergreens, shade on the west side of the house, color in the front yard, and softening the edges of a new patio or wall. Our post on shrubs for southern Minnesota lists some favorites.
Planting is done right: the hole is dug wide, the root ball is set at the right depth, and the plant is watered in and mulched.
We look at the site, talk about what you want the plants to do, and suggest specific trees and shrubs. Then we plan the layout and install them, usually with edging and mulch or rock around them.
We will also explain how much to water during the first season, which matters more than anything else for getting new plants established.
