How To Choose Trees and Shrubs For Your Garden Space

If you’re thinking about overhauling your current garden space or even adding some new trees, plants and shrubs, the main thing to do before starting anything, is to have a bit of a plan. It’s important to plan or map out what you’ve got in your mind to work out if it’s all going to fit and be practical in the space you’ve got - giving thought to the size the trees are going to grow in the medium to long term along with your objectives of planting those particular trees.


When planning out your new and/or improved garden, you can always consult with an arborist in the Northern Beaches who is a qualified tree specialist and who provides tree planting assistance in the Northern Beaches.


So let’s take a look at some of things to consider, before digging in!


Tree Choice & Selection


When choosing a tree species to plant, make sure you identified your main reason for planting it.


Are you looking to create shade? Do you want a low maintenance tree in terms of leaf refuse and cleaning? Are you looking to add more colour or some screening for privacy?


These are all things you need to ask yourself first before you start any type of tree planting project in the Northern Beaches.

Northern Beaches Arborist is a tree specialist in the Northern Beaches who can offer practical advice along with physical man power to ensure the new trees you’ve chosen look good and grow how they’re supposed to.


Tree Planting Location


Another thing to consider with any new tree planting job in the Northern Beaches is where the new trees are going to be planted.


What will be the short, medium and long term outcomes of tree planting in a certain location in your garden – will it create the shade you desired or will it create unwanted shade and falling leaves?


Make sure you do a bit of research into what trees and shrubs you like.


Your arborist in the Northern Beaches can point you in the direction of some tree species to consider before tree planting in the Northern Beaches.


Tree Planting For Your Local Area


Another thing to consider is your local climate. Perhaps living in Sydney’s Northern Beaches a tree that thrives in a tropical climate isn’t such a good choice.


Or even the soil quality in your area – is it going to be what the tree you’ve got in mind needs? Soil quality has a big impact on the tree and its overall health and wellbeing.


An arborist in the Northern Beaches will also tell you that certain trees won’t do well in certain climates – try to match the climate you are planting in.


Your Tree In The Future


It goes without saying that trees grow and won’t stay small.


Consider the expected height and overall growth of the tree/s you’ve got in mind so you can properly plan a good tree planting location in your residence in the Northern Beaches.
