Placement of Trees in Landscape Design without considering the space that the mature full grown trees will occupy can become more than just an inconvenience. It can be costly.
Landscaping and landscape design goes beyond just creating beautiful designs. As a professional designer, it’s not only my job to create designs but also to envision every possibility of the mature landscape in years to come.
And while most elements will remain what they are for years to come, the one thing that most do it yourself-ers and some professionals overlook is the space that tiny little sprouts will occupy when they become mature plants and trees.
Trees serve a number of obvious purposes in the landscape. Creating shade, wind blocks, noise reduction, boundaries, and focal points are just a few. Once I have established where I’ll need trees for these purposes in a design, I have several other considerations before I can designate their permanent home.
