Questions to ask when selecting a tree?

The Tree Selection Checklist:

Here are a few questions to keep in mind when selecting trees for your home.

  • What is the main purpose of the tree; shade, feature, privacy, impact?
  • Are you wanting summer colour or beautiful autumn foliage?
  • A large tree at maturity or something that will stay smaller?
  • Do you want one feature tree or a group to line a fence or driveway?
  • Are the conditions windy, shaded, full sun, wet or dry?
  • What shape of tree do you want round, oval, spreading, vase, open, irregular, columnar?

Answering these questions will help us get the right tree for you.

DRIVEWAY PLANTINGS

Trees provide a welcoming feature and create a grand entrance upon entering a property. Planting advanced trees provides that instant impact to property.

AUTUMN FOLIAGE

Autumn is when streets turn bright red and parks become a wash with colour. We marvel at the natural colours provided by our environment.

Trees can provide a practical and natural solution to shade. Advanced deciduous trees provide that cooling shade in summer and can be a standout feature.
