Shade and Ornamental Trees 



A home without shade trees is difficult to 

 imagine. You may have a house without 

 trees, but never a true home. Trees give a 

 certain dignity and character to any place. In 

 summer they protect the house from extreme 

 heat; in winter they ward off the cold blasts. 

 Trees form the framework of every landscape 

 planting. Shade trees planted on either side 

 of the house and on the boundaries of the 

 property give a feeling of coziness and seclu- 

 sion. It is our aim to make the home grounds 

 a "picture" of which the trees are the frame.
