Determining Purpose First, decide what purpose your new tree will serve. Uncommon plantings are an extension of both the designer and homeowner that supply aesthetic beauty and accent landscapes with their unusual characteristics. Well-placed specimens have the ability to hide sub standard architecture or enhance good design. The majesty of trees also makes them an excellent choice for a living monument or symbolic memorial of a special event. For example, you may want a special tree to mark a wedding ceremony, the birth of a child, or the passing of a loved one.
Deciduous trees depict a perfect lifecycle every year.
They display the energy and brilliance of youth in spring and summer, celebrate the golden years during autumn and play dead all winter as they prepare for a new cycle. Evergreen trees represent spirituality and endurance, while flowering trees capture the essence of life's most beautiful events. This is an excellent opportunity to add healthy, mature specimens to your collection. Arrange a meeting with a certified professional during the design and planning stages of the project in order to protect remaining trees from construction damage and find new homes for marked trees. Small trees of most species can be easily moved while mature specimens while transplanting mature specimens requires special equipment and may cost a bundle.
