A tree creates depth in the garden. A garden without trees often feels flat, while the addition of vertical foliage provides a roof and, thus, security. Certainly if a multi-stem tree is chosen, just one tree creates the feeling of a small forest. There is much more to see at eye level, and with older trees the garden looks mature immediately.  To keep your garden truly for yourself, privacy is an important element to bear in mind in the design. Mature trees can often provide privacy immediately for a large part of your garden. With them, you can easily create a place just to escape from the gaze of the outside world.

Trees not only provide a nicer living environment for people, they are also of immense value for numerous insects, small mammals and birds in the garden. Whether it provides nesting sites, nectar, pollen or acts as a host plant, a tree is a biotope in itself and, for that alone, every garden deserves a tree.
