Shade Trees

Many homeowners suddenly find themselves in need of instant shade sometimes from the loss of an older established tree or from moving into a new home where all the trees were removed. Home and Garden Landscapes has many years of providing homeowners with instant shade solutions with larger trees suited to their specific set of circumstances. Whether its using the fast-growing Princeton American Elm or cultivars of Red Maple which provide brilliant fall color, we have a solution.   Some of our larger trees are available in sizes up to about 28 feet and with an initial trunk caliper of 6″ or more.

Bald Cypress

Bald Cypress-image

Bald Cypress, long associated with the swamps of the Southeastern US is a beauty well suited for landscape incorporation.  It can literally grow in conditions from having it’s root system submerged in water to dry locations in the landscape.  Some cultivars are also absent the “kneeing” most associated with this tree.

Being a “coniferous evergreen” puts this tree in a class few other trees inhabit.  This means it’s an evergreen which loses it’s foliage in the Fall.  Spring color is a brilliant lime green and fall foliage is a gorgeous copper color sure to add pop to any landscape.  We highly recommend you consider this plant if you have room.

    What Our Customers Are Saying

    Thank you so much for the wonderful tree installation you did last October. All 55 trees are doing wonderful and have added an incredible amount of color and variety to my property.

    Chris C.Chapel Hill, NC
    The hollies have done a wonderful job of giving us our valued privacy. We are so very happy. Thank you!
    Chris & TrishaRaleigh, NC
    They’ve done multiple projects for me and the results have always been wonderful.  
    Larua W.Chapel Hill, NC

    David, we absolutely love the landscape makeover you did for our property. We’ve gone from having an overgrown yard that hid our home to beautiful plantings that complement our house design. Our neighbors love it, too.

    Frank & Debbie R.Raleigh, NC
    The hollies you installed solved our privacy problem. We can now enjoy our backyard. Thanks!
    Bob & PeggyWake Forest, NC
    They over-delivered, came in on budget, and solved our privacy issues. We highly recommend them!  
    Kim & Teresa S.Hillsborough, NC

    The 18 foot hollies are amazing. They totally and instantly solved our view problem — rather than looking at a newly constructed commercial building, we now look out on lush green plantings.

    Thomas & Pat B.Apex, NC
    We are beyond pleased! 
     
    We are very happy with the tree, the shrubs and plants you chose for us. 
     
    You did what you said you would do by staying on the job site and overseeing your hard working crew. 
     
    Thank you for including us in the plan for the day and wanting our input.
     
    You are so easy to work with. And, a true professional. We will 
    highly recommend you and your company to anyone who asks us if we know a good landscape architect!
    Karen & Steve L.Raleigh, NC
    We have worked with David on multiple projects. His knowledge, quality of plant material and service are top notch.  
    Chris G.Greensboro, NC
    The trees you brought us were way beyond what we expected. Thanks for over-delivering. We love them!
