Planting a new tree in your yard can be a great long-term investment for many reasons, but this decision requires careful consideration and planning. The right tree can make your property more beautiful, add shade to your favorite outside areas, or shield your home from heavy winds. However, it’s vital to choose the right location for the type of tree you want to plant and to seek some professional assistance with the planting process.

Choose the Species of Tree You Want
Do you want a deciduous tree with colors that will change with the seasons, or do you want to plant an evergreen? When determining the best place to plant a tree on your property, start by considering the type of tree you want to plant. Some trees have invasive roots that could damage your home’s foundation if planted too close to your home; others may grow taller than you expect. Choose your tree species carefully and then you can start to figure out the best placement for it.
Consider Your Existing Home Landscape
Before you choose the spot for your new tree, take a look at your yard, and consider the placement of other trees, shrubs, walking paths, and utility fixtures in the area. For example, if you have power and cable lines running over a portion of your backyard, you probably want to plant the tree away from them.
Be Prepared for How Large It Will Grow
It’s not uncommon for a homeowner to see a small tree and think that a similar tree would look great in their own yard, only to discover the tree they saw was a very young tree. While it can take many years for some types of trees to reach maturity, it’s vital to consider the expected size of a tree before committing to planting it.
