Why Trees Are Vital To Your Landscape?
Apart from adding beauty to our eyes, landscape trees have far more significant benefits. Trees play a crucial role in energy conservation, especially during those chilly winters, they block strong winds and keep us warm. And of course in summers, trees offer shade and keep us cool!
Reasons why trees are vital to your landscape
It is a universal truth that trees reduce stress and improve health. Luckily, you don't need to ‘forest bathe’ to enjoy the countless benefits of trees. Best landscape trees just do the job for you! Like all plants, trees and shrubs protect us from pollutants. They do so by acting as natural filters. Our land surfaces host harmful chemical substances such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, and heavy metals. While chemical substances can contaminate our water; thanks to the roots of the shrubs, these roots intercept these pollutants.
Landscape trees also restore a healthy ecosystem by improving soil and water conservation. They act as excellent temperature regulators and abodes healthy wildlife habitats.
Now that you are aware of how landscape trees add great value to your property not just from an aesthetics standpoint but spiritually and environmentally too, let us look at the key aspects of good landscaping of trees. Please do keep in mind that the value of landscaping lies deeper than just the surface of your lawn. You are grossly mistaken if you think that simply mowing your grass is all you should do for landscaping. Many think that going beyond basics by investing time, energy, and money into a well-thought-out design is too luxurious.
Quick tips to keep in mind during landscaping your trees
One common mistake many landscapers do is that they create a raised border around a tree and then fill it with soil to create a planting bed. This leads to the additional soil around the trunk rotting, leaving the tree susceptible to disease and infection.
Do not use solid plastic sheeting under rocks, because they create an impermeable barrier between the rocks and the soil. A better alternative that you can explore is using porous landscape fabric beneath the rock layer. It is recommended you pull stray weeds by hand should they appear.
Do incorporate a large tree that is already thriving by building a patio or put a deck around it. This way you get the best of both worlds and the deck or patio will provide attractive landscaping.
It is very important to add relaxing elements to your under-tree landscaping. We are talking about those lovely birdbaths, charming benches, or hammocks; and voila you have turned it into a delightful spot for enjoying a cup of tea and a good book after a long day’s work.
