Choosing the Right Trees for Your Landscape

Trees are very resilient, but they can also be highly temperamental. To get the best results from the trees you plant, you want to make sure you pick tree species that will thrive within the context of your landscaping.

Several factors determine the ideal trees for your property, including:

Tree size: Trees need a lot of space to spread out. If you plant a tree in too small of a space and it can’t spread out, it can stunt a tree’s growth and make it vulnerable to diseases later in life. By the same token, consider your structures and underground infrastructure. A tree’s roots are extremely powerful. They can easily invade pipes and cause plumbing problems or even push a home’s foundation.
Sunlight requirements: Different trees have varying sunlight needs. Assess your property's sunlight patterns to choose trees that thrive in the available light conditions.
Soil type: Conduct a soil test to identify nutrient deficiencies and acidity levels. This step is important for deciding which tree species will thrive best in your yard. Our skilled arborists will ensure this step is quick and seamless.
Water requirements: Choose trees suited for San Jose climate patterns to optimize irrigation needs.
Canopy: Consider the shade provided and how it affects adjacent areas like gardens. Our arborists can help you select trees that align with your landscaping goals.
