07 Dec 5 Benefits Trees Give To Every Landscape Design Which Includes Them

It is not every landscape design that has trees included in it, but those that do gain several benefits thanks to those trees. Now, if your garden or the plot which is being landscaped is small, then we agree that it might not be possible to include a tree in your landscape design. That does not mean that your landscape design is inferior or will be any less stunning when it is complete, but for practical reasons, particularly size, trees may not be a part of it. For those who can include one or more trees in your landscape design, then we will explain the benefits of that below, be we must also add a caveat. If you are growing trees from saplings then it may take some time, often running into years, for these benefits to be maximised. The alternative is to plant mature trees which can be a considerable undertaking in both practical and financial terms, but most certainly worth it. However, whether you take a shortcut, or are happy to be patient until your trees grow, in both cases the trees will be a hugely positive addition to your landscaping. Most obvious will be the natural beauty that is created within your garden by one or more trees and the kaleidoscope of colours that is produced as each season comes and goes. Additionally, you will soon also be reaping the following five benefits thanks to the tree or trees in your landscape design. Tree Benefit #1 - Cooling Shade As your tree flowers and the leaves on them grow to their full size each spring and summer, those leaves are going to provide you with your very own natural parasol to shade you from the sun. By placing a tree within your landscaping in a strategic position that lines up with its shade on a seating area, it makes the ideal combination. Alternatively, if your tree creates shade over your home, it can mean it is cooler inside and thus less need for HVAC to be on, saving you money.
