Here are some items that you must consider when selecting plants for a site. The first thing you should know is what “zone” you are located in according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Most zones that Bettendorf Landscaping services are located in zone 7. This is important because of the temperature ranges for the site in which you plan to plant or landscape.

Next look at the site; is it hilly, flat, rocky, what is the soil type. Is the site shaded or full sun, does it get afternoon or morning sun at the site. These are just some consideration that you must think about by no means are these all of them.

Pest control is another factor that we take very seriously. Pest control can be very expensive and harmful to the environment if applied by a non-licensed company or individual. There are some plants that are overly used that require a good amount of care and are very susceptible to pest infestations. We make every attempt to select varieties of plant that have either built a tolerance to pest or that have little or no known pest that affect that variety.

There are so many factors that must be considered when designing a landscape. Our team at Bettendorf Landscaping has a combined 70 years of experience in designing a landscape that will last a lifetime and add to the value of your property and the well being of the environment.
