How to Choose a Tree For Your Yard
- Purpose. When deciding on the perfect tree for your yard, We recommend that you consider its purpose. Are you looking for a shade tree? Are you looking for a more decorative tree that has beautiful flowers in the spring? Are you looking for a tree that would serve its own purpose, such as a windbreaker for your home? The beauty of trees is there is so much variety that it may be hard to narrow your choices down. You do this partly by narrowing its purpose in your mind.
- Easy or hard to maintain. This basically comes down to the choice of do you want a tree that is a deciduous tree or an evergreen tree. Deciduous trees are beautiful to behold in both the spring and the fall, as their leaves grow in and then turn beautiful colors. However, a colored leaf is a dead leaf, which eventually falls to your yard for you to rake up, deciduous trees can be a lot of work, in which case an evergreen tree would be more your cup of tea.
- Size. This will be a big consideration (pun intended) as you consider the perfect tree for your yard. we suggest that you start with your yard first. Survey your yard and see how big it is and how a tree would look in the space you are thinking of. If you have overhead power lines, this will be a factor as well in the tree’s ultimate height. Big trees are certain things of beauty; however, smaller trees are equally as cute and can complement the rest of your landscaping nicely.
