The Best Shade Trees
Trees are a great way of adding to the aesthetic of your lawn; large, broad, and beautiful, they can cut a new outline of your estate. But what if these trees could also benefit you regarding the livability of your home? Shade trees can reduce the energy costs and improve the air and water quality of your home. But just as everything else, not all these trees are created equal, and some are better off not being added to your lawn.

Here is a list of some of your top choices for best shade trees for your lawn.
