On the other hand, if you are looking for privacy trees and shrubs can substitute for the large, and sometimes unattractive, fences that are used to delineate homeowners property. Many of the trees that are commonly used to provide homeowners with cooler, shaded areas in their yards also double for a natural barrier between yours and your neighbors properties. For example, you can plant and grow weeping willow trees and evergreen shrubs for shade, but their wide branch spread and closely interlaced leaves also prevent unwanted onlookers from viewing your outdoor parties and relaxing evenings.

Maples, also good trees for the front yard as they tend to be smaller than magnolias and often used in Japanese landscaping because of their vivacious colors and simple elegance, plus their ability to provide privacy and shade. “Bloodgoods” blossom with deep red leaves and reaches 20 ft, while “Cutleaf” red maples are great small shade trees for landscaping as they grow only to 6 ft tall and produce green and golden hued leaves. Magnolias and maples, which also flower during the spring, summer, and sometime autumn, are particularly great front yard landscaping trees because their blossoms provide elegant decoration for your friends and neighbors to admire. There are a variety of types of both these trees with differing characteristics ranging from height, branch spread, leaves, and flowers. For example, the Japanese magnolia tree, a deciduous that blossoms with vibrant fuchsia flowers, will typically grow to a smaller height of 12 ft tall. An evergreen magnolia produces large sweet-smelling white flowers, and can grow as wide as 40 ft.

As the weather gets warmer and the flowers start to bloom, many people will take to their yards to landscape with flowering bushes, beautiful shrubs, and striking trees. Common landscaping trees and shrubs that are most used by homeowners for their looks, as well as ease of maintenance, include decorative grasses and perennial flowers, plus evergreens and deciduous trees. Evergreen trees, which keep their leaves year-round, are great for busy homeowners who do not have a lot of time for maintaining their yards. In contrast, deciduous trees and plants shed their leaves in the fall months which requires raking for a clean landscape. Therefore, the most popular types of fast growing trees and plants will largely depend on which type you choose and which season you wish for them to bloom during. But whether you are looking for small evergreen shrubs to add a decorative border to the edge of your house or fast growing trees for shade in the back of your yard, we provide a variety of landscaping tools, techniques, and plants that can be incorporated into your outdoor designs.
