Planting Trees

We planted several new flowering pear trees in our backyard this last weekend. We planted 5 trees along the fence line to help create some privacy. The trees are each 20 feet tall and they are going to be gorgeous once they become established. Flowering pears produce no fruit, but beautiful white blossoms in the Spring, and colorful foliage in the fall. It is nice to have some mature trees in the backyard that can help block wind and provide shade during the summer. Mature landscaping helps to increase the value of a home so when re-landscaping, consider adding trees instead of removing trees (each property varies).


Each tree weighed about 600lbs! They were big!
