Trees
Trees are a fundamental element of any landscape plan. The proper position, selection, and placement can set the stage for the entire home landscape design. Trees are the most permanent plants we grow. Most will live for 50 years or more and become beloved fixtures in our memories. Because they are such a long-lasting addition to the landscape, special care should be taken when selecting and planting trees in the landscape.
Trees provide shade, they frame the property, they can provide seasonal color with leaves and bark, they can bloom with fruit and flowers - and even act as sound barriers and provide privacy.
