Things to Keep in Mind When Choosing a Tree

Finding the right tree for your yard can be a hard thing to decide on. This is because once a tree is planted, it cannot be removed without being killed. This is why it is considered crucial to keep tree types in mind and find the right one for you. That’s why Five Star Tree Services has put together a few tips on how to choose the right tree for your property.

How Should You Choose a Tree?

When choosing a species of tree, the best thing to determine is how you're going to use it/what style you are into. Are you looking for a decorative tree that has attractive flowers or are you seeking a tree that will serve as a windbreaker for your main structure? Are you interested in planting a fruit-bearing tree or maybe a tree to offer shade in the summer months? Understanding what type of tree you need will help you choose one that you will love.

Tree Maintenance

Every tree will require love and care, but some will require more than others. Think about the amount of time you are able to dedicate to tree care or the amount you are willing to budget for professional tree care each year. Deciduous trees are bright, colorful and shed their leaves on a regular basis which means you will need to put aside time for yard care. Evergreens on the other hand remain generally the same year-round and require much less dedicated care.

How Big Do You Want It?

In most cases, trees will come in a number of different shapes and sizes, so you want to consider your yards size when choosing the proper tree. You will also need to think about overhead and underground power lines when considering a new tree. Don’t think about the current size of the sapling, think about how tall and how deep the root systems will run once the tree has matured. Smaller properties can benefit from decorative, yet more compact species while homes with more space can benefit from larger species.

Your Soil & Environment

Every location in the world has a different climate type and only certain trees will be able to survive in these environments. Think about your typical weather patterns when choosing which tree to plant in your yard. Soil conditions also change from one location to the next. You can always ask one of our specialists to perform soil analysis and offer recommendations and which trees would grow well in your general location.
