AboutShade Trees
The single best investment you can make in a yard. A mature shade tree drops summer cooling bills by up to 25%, raises property value, and turns an unusable hot spot into the favorite place to sit on a hot day.
Frequently asked questions
What's the best shade tree to plant?
It depends on your space and climate. Maples, oaks, and tulip poplars are popular nationwide. Smaller yards do better with compact shade trees like littleleaf linden or Chinese pistache.
How long until a shade tree provides real shade?
Fast-growing trees provide real shade in 3–5 years. Slower, longer-lived species take longer but reward patience with decades of value.
How far should I plant a shade tree from my house?
A general rule is to plant at least 15–20 feet from the house, with more space for very large mature species.
