Trees can bring cooling shade, beauty, and clean air to your landscape-if they are the right trees for the space and conditions. But trees that are not adapted to the environment in your landscape are unlikely to thrive. If they are planted too close to the house, hardscape, or utilities, root conflicts are likely as the trees grow.
