Your Kansas City Home or Property | Best Trees to Plant

Are you planting a tree this summer?

Well, many of us are turning our thumbs green this season and getting out in our lawn. This is a great season to add some beauty to your Kansas City home or property, From flowering shrubs to trees and gardens galore, there are many options. 

But, how do you know the best trees to plant?

Any gardener will tell you that they have had their fair share of trials and errors when planting…. well, everything. This said, tree and lawn care is not something that most people just inherently know.

Conversely, it takes time and energy to learn the best trees to plant. You'll need to know how to navigate all the potential risks involved. No worries! We are happy to share all that we have learned.

Trees are our passion too. Therefore, we love helping to maintain happy and healthy lawns and trees. Let's get started and clear up any questions about the best trees to plant in Kansas City. 

Crab Apple – Why do we love the Crab Apple Tree? They're easy to maintain! These low maintenance trees are stunning. While they produce fruit, they are small. They're not a nuisance and the debris from them is easy to sweep away.  

Dogwood – Both the Flowering Dogwood and the Pagoda Dogwood can be a great addition to your lawn. They both display beautiful and sprawling branches and delicate flowers. It is no wonder that the Dogwood is the state tree of Missouri! 

Northern Red Oak – If you love fall colors, the Northern Red Oak is a choice for you! Oak leaves of every shade of red, orange, and yellow are possible with this tree. This is a great one to lie under with a great book. With tons of shade and gorgeous colors, is there anything else we need to say? No, there is not, because this tree speaks for itself.

Concolor Fir – Our last pick for Kansas City is not just for Christmas. Evergreens can be a great way to add privacy to your lawn and can look beautiful as well. Of course, they do look even dreamier in the winter covered in lights. But, that doesn’t mean they’re not great all year round. 

So, be sure whichever tree(s) you plant are the right ones for your needs. Picking a winner takes more research than most people think that it does.

Select any of the above, though, and you will be off to a great start!
