Think Ahead When Planting Patio Trees and Shrubs

Those small trees and shrubs look so beautiful in their containers and they will be the perfect choice around your patio or home.  Before you take that first shovel full of dirt out, look to see how big that currently small tree is going to grow.

Determine How Large a Tree Grows

Those description tags are in the container for a reason.  They are full of information including the amount of sun or shade required and their projected growth.  Planting trees or large shrubs too close to your house can cause problems.

Roots can grow underneath your home, patio, or other area, causing damage to the foundation.  Limbs shouldn’t rest on the house either on top or the side.  Look carefully at how tall and wide the tree or shrub will grow.  Plant it far enough away from your house or patio to provide optimum growth and minimal damage.
