Oak leavesShade trees are trees that grow tall and large enough to provide cooling shade, and many other benefits. They can cool your home naturally ,and, when planted in the right spot ,they can significantly reduce your home cooling costs. When fully grown, they can cut your home cooling costs by up to 40 percent! Trees that provide shade also add beauty and grace to your property, and to your neighborhood - adding more value to your property than any other plant.

Shade trees are easy to grow and don't need a whole lot of maintenance. Proper planting technique and timely applications of a good tree fertilizer will suffice for the most part. Some trees might need water should you find yourself in a drought situation, while others are quite drought tolerant. You can rest assured that the better care you give your trees, the more they will reward you in the future.
