Welcome to WindbreakTrees .com
Techny Arborvitae
It is now the middle of May, last chance to get
potted evergreen trees planted before the heat of the summer sets in.
The week of May 14th will be our last week of planting potted
evergreens. The new growth is way out and planting success is going to
be going down as the trees do not have enough time to set new roots
before the heat of the summer sets in. Our deciduous trees (Leaf trees)
in the pot or all our bare root trees will be available until the end of
May. After that we can set you up for a fall planting or delivery and
we think this is the best for the trees, rather than trying to plant
trees, and keep them alive, during the hot summer months.
We are no longer UPS shipping trees as the weather
has become to hot.
Our open hours are until May 31: Monday - Friday 8AM-6PM
Saturday 8AM-5PM- Other times on request.
Survive, Thrive, stay Alive is our motto with windbreak trees.
Over 90% of the windbreaks designed
and installed are done incorrectly using the wrong species or spacing.
Have your windbreak designed or if
you have a plan from someone else, checked by a
windbreakologist™
We can design your windbreak,
provide the trees, plant and advise you on how to care for them.
We specialize in
windbreaks.

One of our windbreaks wins an award!
Brad and Patty Manuel from Olin, IA with their state
award from the Iowa Soil and Water Districts for Best Windbreak in the
state of Iowa. We planned, provided and planted
the trees for this windbreak in 2001.
Introduction
Growing up in the windswept plains of Iowa I saw the effects of wind and how a row or several rows of trees completely changed the environment that we lived in, especially in the winter, but also at other times of the year.
We have been growing and planting windbreaks in the Midwest for over 40 years and believe we have the knowledge to provide you with the best windbreak trees that will survive in your area.
Many times people will sell any kind of evergreen and call it a windbreak, but after a few years the tree does poorly or does not survive at all.
We are here to provide you with the knowledge that comes with over 40 years of work in this area, when you are ready to plant a windbreak, we are here to help you get it done and done right.
BENEFITS OF A WINDBREAK
-
To protect the people and animals from cold winter winds by reducing wind velocities by-up-to 90%.
-
Prevent large amounts of snow from drifting by catching it inside and
directly behind the windbreak and melting it slowly as it soaks into the
ground and does not run off.
-
Reduces the costs of heating and cooling your home by
25% or more by reducing wind velocity.
-
Protect the home, business, or farm buildings from windstorms that can come at any time of the year.
-
Reduce traffic, dust and other noises from nearby roads and fields.
-
Reduce the effects of hot drying summer winds, the trees act like air conditioners as they transpire and have a cooling effect on the immediate area.
-
Provides a better working and living condition with more productivity for persons inside the windbreak as a result of reduced winter winds.
-
Will attract game and songbirds and other wildlife all times of the year, especially in the winter.
-
Will help beautify the overall landscape around the area and make it a better place to work and play along with an increase in the total value of the windbreak protected area.
-
Protects growing plants and trees by lowering evaporation rates resulting in an increase in growth and plant quality.
