Tree Planting

Trees are an effective and attractive way to increase privacy on your property. Their height, durability, and natural appearance make them an excellent barrier from surrounding areas. Strategic tree planting can help shield your property from outside views while also discouraging unwanted access. When placed near fences, gates, or property lines, trees can enhance security and create a more natural, refined landscape.

If privacy is your primary goal, choose dense evergreen trees that provide year-round coverage and help screen your property from nearby homes or high-traffic areas. Conifers and evergreen varieties, such as Thuja ‘Emerald Green, are excellent options. If you are starting with younger trees, consider fast-growing varieties that will mature quickly and provide the privacy you need.

Add Shade by Planting Trees

Trees are an excellent way to keep your property cooler while adding beauty and long-term value to your outdoor space. Whether you are a business owner seeking to create a more comfortable environment or a homeowner looking to enjoy your yard during the warmer months, strategically planted trees can provide meaningful shade and visual appeal.

Shade trees can also help reduce energy costs by limiting direct sunlight and decreasing reliance on air conditioning. In addition, trees that create shaded areas can support plants and perennials that thrive with less direct sun, such as foamflowers and evergreen wood fern.

If shade is your main objective, consider tall trees with broad leaves and wide canopies, such as oak or maple trees. Poplar, Nuttall Oak, and Red Maple are strong choices because they grow relatively quickly and provide substantial shade. The best option for your landscape will depend on your property’s layout, your goals, and the growing conditions on site.
