Shade Trees

Trees are a great addition to any yard. Trees can add a lot of character to your property, and they also present the opportunity to get some fresh air and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere in your yard during the day or night.

There are several trees that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds. These trees are an excellent way to start attracting wildlife into your yard.
