Trees are not only useful for providing shade to a yard but they are also aesthetically pleasing. Placing trees in your front and backyard is a great way to update the look of your outdoor area and add value to your home. However, there are so many options when it comes to placing trees that it can be hard to decide what is best.

Furthermore, it can be hard to find the time to choose the right tree and then do all the gardening and landscaping needed to ensure the trees grow correctly. This is where All American Lawn and Landscaping comes in. We will do the dirty work for you. All you need to do is figure out what you are looking for and we can do the rest.

What Tree is Right for my Yard?

The first thing you will need to do is decide why you want trees as part of your landscape. Are you looking for a tree that will provide shade in the backyard? Are you looking for shrubs that will provide privacy from the main roads? If so, then you will most likely want a coniferous tree rather than a deciduous tree to ensure shade and privacy year round. Deciduous trees will lose their leaves in the fall but develop beautiful fall colors that may highlight your lawn perfectly.  Perhaps you want a tree to accent your landscape. Or maybe you are looking for a tree that will grow fruit or certain flowers to highlight the colors in your garden.

Next, compare the size of your space to the size of the tree you want. The last thing you want is a tree that will grow too big for the selected space. You may want to choose several smaller trees rather than one large tree. This will depend on the space as well as your ultimate landscaping vision.

You will also need to look at the area where you want to plant your trees. Will the space be sunny or shady? Some trees thrive in the sun while others will die with too much summer heat. Furthermore, some trees need well drained soil while others are able to grow anywhere. Our Minnesota tree experts will be able to analyze your lawn and determine the best position for your tree needs.

The Benefit of Trees

Trees can provide the perfect backdrop for a sunset and are good for the environment. They provide shade in the summer and privacy all year round. Some make excellent playgrounds for children, others make perfect goal posts for backyard soccer and others provide delicious fruit for that perfect spring snack. They can add value to your home and literally heighten any outdoor space.
