Using Small Trees For Landscaping
Landscaping can be difficult if you have a smaller yard. While smaller spaces generally require less work, they can be much more difficult to plan since large trees will often make the space feel crowded. If you have a small yard, it’s usually a good idea to go with trees and bushes that will fit the space.
If you’re tight on space, small trees are a great way to add texture and depth to your landscaping. They can be used to visually break up or fence off your yard, as well as adding a splash of color or extra shade to the space. There are many different types of small trees that you can use to decorate your yard and accentuate the design of your house. Each species of tree will have its own growing season and preferred climate though, so research is important.
While large trees may be more impressive to look at, smaller trees are highly versatile and generally easy to grow. Small evergreen trees such as Corneliancherry Dogwood and Japanese Tree Lilac are common trees for creating natural fencing. They keep their deep green foliage year-round and provide a wonderful backdrop for more colorful plants or flower beds. Seasonal trees, such as cherry trees, are a great way to make a small space feel larger and more airy while adding a pop of color.
