Trees are a critical part of many landscaping projects. They provide shade, erosion control, a home for wildlife, and a buffer for noise or dust. As a staple of the ecosystem, trees also benefit the greater environment. Homeowners who are looking to plant landscaping trees in their yards have many choices, as nurseries cultivate a vast array of trees for use in 
landscaping. It helps to make good choices regarding your regional climate, the cost of trees, and possible maintenance.
The first decision you will make is whether you want evergreens (trees that stay green all year) or deciduous trees (trees that lose their leaves) in your yard. On the maintenance side, deciduous trees will require raking in the fall. Evergreens are easier to take care of, but generally don’t provide shade or accessible limbs.
Evergreen vs. deciduous is also a style decision: ask yourself if your yard needs a central oak or maple, or a row of pines or spruces as a kind of evergreen fence. Tree planting contractors can help you decide which type of trees are right for your project.
You’ll want to think about the type of climate you’re introducing your trees to. Many types of evergreens fare better in hot, dry regions. The Hoops or Colorado Blue Spruce are good choices for the southwest or any arid region. Deciduous types are common in the mid-Atlantic 
states. Take a look at what’s around you to see what kinds of trees thrive in your area.
Varieties of Dogwood trees are for sale at many nurseries. These are prized for their colorful appearance and blossoms. Purchased as saplings, they grow into moderate sizes that won’t take over your yard. Select a dogwood variety based on the color of your home and yard amenities. Place the tree where it will get noticed.
As mentioned above, the oak and maple represent traditional, sturdy trees that, over time, will become a centerpiece for your yard. Chestnut or Walnut trees are other options. These can be purchased as saplings, or in larger sizes. Tree transplant and landscape tree contractors will help you with tree planting options including digging for larger trees.
