Picking Out the Best Tree for Your Yard
Now that spring is here, perhaps you are deciding on some new trees for your yard. We have advice on the best landscaping trees available.
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.
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.
If you want a flowering tree, consider the Dogwood. 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.
If you want a tree that will stand the test of time, consider oaks or maple trees. These trees 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.
