Create shade, block unwanted views, and increase privacy
Have an area in your backyard that could use some shade? Looking to block an unwanted view? Need some privacy? You can accomplish all this by planting during the spring, which will give your trees ample time to establish a root system before the summer months arrive. And if you’re looking for instant shade, the sooner you plant before the warmer months the better it is for the health of your trees and shrubs. Planting now allows you to maximize the potential of your tree. For all year shade and privacy consider a evergreen tree, which is one that will keep its foliage all year. Fantastic options for this are the Tipu, Magnolia, and Camphor. If you're looking to add some color and don't mind the tree dropping some foliage, consider our Ash varieties like Shamel Ash, Raywood Ash, or Arizona Ash. All of these will produce fantastic displays of fall color.

Decrease electric bills
One of the worst parts about the summer, other than it being hot, is that our electric bills skyrocket. Fortunately, for us, there are ways to combat this sudden jump. Planting shade trees on an eastern or western exposure will help shade the home in the summer time which can lead to a reduction in utility bills. Be sure to speak to our design professionals when you visit one of our nursery locations. They'll be able to come to your home and help strategically place the trees so you can maximize the shade they will produce. If you wait too long, then it will be another summer with high AC costs. Also, plan ahead as planting deciduous trees that can help warm a home in the winter and provide ample shade in the summer.
If you have any questions on how you can create shade today, be sure to talk to our nursery experts at any Moon Valley Nurseries location.
