Beneficial Shade Trees For Your Home in Kansas City
If you would like help choosing the perfect shade trees for your landscape, the professionals at Rosehill Farms are always happy to assist you. Opposed to ornamental trees, shade trees are going to grow much larger, many of which will reach heights of 40 feet or greater. Shade trees will also shed their foliage annually during the autumn months. Several common types of shades trees include the maple, birch, willow or sycamore tree. However, there are many more to choose from. Some benefits to shade trees in your yard are:
- Increase property value to your land.
- Trees placed strategically around a single-family home can cut summer AC costs dramatically.
- Help control erosion on hillsides and slopes, slow rain runoff and soil movement.
- Shade trees slow the water evaporation from thirsty lawns.
