Trees

Landscape Trees for Shade, Privacy, Structure, and Year-Round Interest

Trees are one of the most important long-term choices in a landscape design. Ornamental trees can add spring flowers and focal points, evergreens can provide screening and privacy, and shade trees can help define the overall feel of a property. PHR Landscapes installs tree varieties that work well for New Jersey yards, foundation plantings, front entries, backyards, and privacy-focused landscapes.
