Whether you’re putting your home on the market or you want to spruce it up for your own pleasure, curb appeal matters. Landscaping is a major contributor to the appearance of your property, and a few beautiful trees can give it the makeover you’re looking for. But if you’re wondering what trees you should plant, below is some guidance.

What Trees Should You Plant in the Front Yard?

1. Flowering Trees

Springtime is here, and a flowering tree will show off the season’s beauty. The magnolia — which produces large, fragrant, white or pink blossoms — the Japanese flowering cherry tree, and dogwoods can all thrive in warmer climates and make your yard a haven.

2. Shade Trees

In the summertime, you might appreciate having some larger shade trees in your front yard. Not only can they cool your home on sunny days, but they also give your yard an inviting atmosphere. Northern red oak, valley oak, poplar, or freeman maple are all excellent options since they grow tall and have full, dense foliage.

3. Trees With Fall Colors

Planting a tree that produces profound fall colors is another intriguing option for your yard. Enjoy the bright crimson of a red maple, the warm glow of the sugar maple, or the variant colors of the black tupelo this autumn.

4. Evergreen Trees

When the winter cold strips all the deciduous trees bare of their leaves, you don’t want your yard to look stripped, too. To combat this, plant an evergreen tree or two in your yard. The Fraser fir, blue spruce, and eastern red cedar will all keep your curb appeal up throughout the winter.
