There are three broad categories of plants that will help make your backyard healthy. These are trees, shrubs, and perennials. You can also include flowering plants if you want some colour in your backyard or succulents if you live somewhere that doesn’t get too much precipitation.
Some examples of trees in this category are conifers, cedars, cypresses, elders or maples. Some examples for shrubs would be azaleas, berry bushes or hydrangeas while perennials would be dais
