The Best Trees for New Construction Homes \u2013 Considerations for Planting<\/h2>\n

Shade<\/strong> \u2013 Shade gives people a place to relax out of the glare of the hot summer sun. If you\u2019re planting a garden around the tree, you\u2019ll need to account for the shade by planting shrubs and flowers that cope with the partial sun they receive during the day.<\/p>\n

Debris<\/strong> \u2013 With trees come leaves. Consider how the falling leaves in the summer will affect gutters, pools, and other areas around the home.<\/p>\n

Root Systems<\/strong> \u2013 The root system stabilizes the tree, but large roots near the surface can lift driveways and patios.<\/p>\n

Size<\/strong> \u2013 Planting a large tree too close to the home presents a fall risk that might damage the roof.<\/p>\n

Stability<\/strong> \u2013 Some trees have shallow roots that provide food for insects. The roots might rot, and the tree might fall over during high winds or storms.<\/p>\n

Evergreen or Deciduous<\/strong> \u2013 An evergreen tree keeps its leaves year-round, while deciduous trees drop their leaves in the winter.<\/p>\n
