Spring is here, and it’s a great time to get to work on your
backyard summer space. Having a
well-groomed lawn with trees and plants helps shade your yard, block out noise
from the street, and gives you a natural privacy screen.
Unsure of what to plant in your Seattle backyard this
spring? Though species like pine and
redwood are what usually come to mind when people think of the pacific
northwest, arborist Seattle experts can recommend a number of tree species that will stand up
to Washington weather year-round.
1. Oak.
Oak trees are native to Oregon and Washington, and they grow very well
in the region. They provide lots of
shade and produce dark green leaves that look beautiful in a backyard.
2. Maple.
The big leaf maple is a tree species famous for being able to withstand
huge amounts of rain. They also survive
well in dry climates, making them a very versatile species ideal for rainy
Washington weather. Another plus: they
grow fast, meaning instant gratification for your family.
3. Japanese Maple. Short on space in your backyard? If you’re worried about your new trees
getting so big that you need Bellevue tree removal services next year, consider a Japanese Maple. These trees are slow-growing, meaning it will
be decades before the tree overtakes your yard – and their beauty makes the
extra cost worth it.
I love the colours and shape of trees during the spring :)
