THE PUBLIC AREA 



37 



The location of trees about the home is extremely important. Often 

 the home owner buys trees and places them with little or no thought 

 and generally they are planted equidistant from the walk half way 

 between the house and the street. (Fig. 34). When they grow up they 

 blot out the view of the house and seldom afford shade where shade is 

 needed. 



Trees should be used to frame the view of the house and of course 

 where shade is needed. ( (Fig. 33). This sketch will give some idea 

 as to where trees should be located for shade and where trees might be 

 planted for framing purposes. This chart is worked out for houses 

 facing north, east, south and west. The trees which are planned 

 for balance and for framing are left undarkened upon the sketch.
