A tree can create character
Notes:
- By planting a tree in your garden, you can add a focal point to your space. This can help to add character and even give you a dedicated space where you can sit and relax. The tree can be of any species, allowing you to have control over what you want exactly.
- You might prefer a tree that grows large such as an oak tree or you might prefer a willow tree that sways gently in the breeze. Whichever type you choose, a tree that is planted correctly can add lots of character.
-
There are two types of trees:
-
Deciduous Trees:
Deciduous trees are generally hardwoods that drop their leaves prior to the winter season. Types of deciduous trees include names like the maple, oak, willow and other hardwoods that leaf in the spring and drop their leaves in the fall.
- more info: about deciduous trees
-
Evergreens:
Evergreen trees keep their green all year around. The most familiar type of evergreens are conifers – the pines and spruces that grow needles and cones instead of a flat-layer leaf.

They can protect from wind damage
Notes:
- We can often suffer from high winds in the US, UK and Australia; and that alone can cause damage to our gardens whereby fences can be broken down and that in turn can cause damage to plants.
- Furthermore, some plants do require protection from the wind and so, by planting a tree, you will be able to add some protection to your garden.
-
Some types and image views of varying wind screening and privacy trees:
-
Screening/Privacy Trees:
Screening/privacy trees grow very quickly and provide a screen and/or privacy for property boundaries, housing sides, fences, etc. They can also be used as wind breakers in heavily windy areas. Many landowners use these type trees as a windbreaker over open fields.

Provides shade
Notes:
- This might sound strange but planting a tree for shade could actually benefit your garden. Some plants thrive in an area where they get the right amount of light and shade. If some plants are placed in direct sunlight all day, then they are likely to die but a tree could provide the right amount of shade.
- Furthermore, lawns can become burnt and scorched as a result of the sun and so, shade can help to overcome this issue too.
-
Some types and image views of shade trees:
-
Shade Trees:
These type trees grow big and shapely to provide added shade from the hot summer rays. The types of shade trees include the maple, oak, elm and others.
- You need to position the tree to shade the home in the afternoon to reduce cooling costs. And then in the winter when the tree drops its leaves, the winter sun rays filter through the open branches to help warm up the house.

Hide unsightly areas
Notes:
- Not every garden has a perfect look, and some areas might have unsightly areas such as a brick wall or an area that becomes overgrown or suffers from poor drainage. If you plant a tree, you can use it to hide these areas, giving your garden something else to become the main focus.
-
So what make the best privacy screen:
-
Evergreens:
Evergreens are all-season trees that stay green all year around. So if you looking for privacy – or to hide something that is less slightly – the evergreen is the option for you. Evergreens include conifers – these are the pines, spruces and other conifers that produce a cone instead of a flower as the container of their seeds. Evergreens can also function as a weather screen to protect your home against cold winter winds.

Help to reduce flooding or prevent saturated lawns
Notes:
- A tree is not just something that looks good – they can also protect your garden in other ways. We experience heavy rain throughout the year in the UK and that can leave gardens flooded and saturated. When you have a tree that is laden with branches and leaves, it will help to reduce the amount of rain that hits the ground.
- This in turn will help to reduce the amount of flooding that your garden experiences.
-
Don’t forget how ornamental trees can work for your landscape:
-
Ornamental Trees:
Ornamental trees are small to medium-sized trees that can take many years to grow to reach maximum height. Many ornamentals are flowering trees; they make great additions to front yards, garden beds, against the house, and in some cases, in container pots.

They attract wildlife
Notes:
- There is nothing more soothing or relaxing than having a garden that is busy with wildlife. Planting trees will attract more birds and they are likely to use your tree for nesting if it is big enough.
- However, they will also attract other animals such as squirrels, not forgetting the insects that they will attract too. All of these things work together and when you have the right insects in your garden, they can help it to thrive too as part of the ecological system.
-
