Tree Planting Boise

Tree Size and Location Is Important

Tree planting requires forethought. Trees need room to grow. Considering the type of tree and the size it will be when mature will determine the best planting location. Having a tree too close to a home or other structures on the property could have unfavorable consequences and eventually require tree removal. A size and distance guideline when planting trees near a house or structure on the property is the following:

• Small trees should be at least 8 to 10 feet from any structure.
• Medium size trees should be no closer than 15 feet from a structure.
• Large trees should keep a distance of at least 20 feet from the structure.

Purpose of Trees on the Landscape

Typically, people choose a larger size tree for shading purposes. If planted at the southwest corner of the house, it will shade the house on hot summer afternoons.

A couple of small ornamental trees are the perfect complement to the front lawn.

The more self-reliant homeowner may want to consider a few fruit or nut trees in the back.
