Landscaping Design: Significance of Trees

Trees are an essential component of gorgeous garden/landscaping design and should be the first things considered. Wether you have a large or small garden trees can be planted for shade, privacy screening, blocking unsightly views, act as a windbreak, reduce air temperature around the house; to bring birds and bugs to your garden and of course for their decorative appeal. Keeping the sun off your home and windows in summer could cut down on your air conditioning and therefore your electricity bill.

Remember, whenever you plant a tree, consider the root system and make sure you plant it well away from walls, paving or plumbing. From Acacias to Ziziphus, when buying trees it is wise to seek specialist advice from a trained horticulturist to help choose appropriate varieties thus ensuring a happy gardening experience for you.
