Lilacs
When you say "New construction", I always think of lilacs. These plants are versatile, and durable. These flowering shrubs have many uses in the home landscape. They are used as corner planting,wind screens, hedges. The soft delicate flowers of lilacs are on some of the toughest plants. Lilacs can survive to -60 degrees f. Many peoples thoughts of lilacs go back to their Grandma's and Pa's house where plants only survived if they could be neglected. They bear old memories for lilacs have been with us for years. Pruning these plants is all that is needed to keep them in shape. These plants range in size from 3' to 10' and come in many colors such as purple, magenta, blue, white, and violet. We usually have a large selection for you to choose from.
Proper places for trees around homes. Planning for the future.
Because different trees have different mature heights, pay special attention to where you plant each tree. Planting the right tree in the right place will enhance your property value and prevent costly maintenance trimming or damage to your home. Good landscaping utilizes shrubs and low-growing trees that are compatible with utilities and electric lines. These "wire friendly" trees will not reach electric lines and, therefore, will help prevent power interruptions to you and your neighbors.
Windbreaks - Plant evergreen trees, which can serve as protection from the wind, on the west or north sides of the house, approximately 50 feet or more from the house.
Temperature - Plant deciduous (leaf dropping) trees on the south and/or west side of house to cool in the summer and allow sun to enter the house in the winter.
Typical Wire Friendly Trees: Amur Maple, Hedge Maple, Serviceberry, Eastern Redbud, Flowering Crab apple, Japanese Tree Lilac, and Viburnums.
Note: Planting tall-growing trees within utility rights-of-ways (land over which electric lines pass) will require utilities to trim trees to maintain proper clearance from electric wires. This may result in the tree having an unnatural appearance.
Never plant large pine trees and large ornamental pines in a raised bed 2 feet from your house.
