Where is your houses placement in coordination with the sun? In the winter, much of the suns warmth ?s going to be produced from the south. Through the summer season this alters most heat is produced from the southwest. The strategic placement of your trees is essential. Trees block the majority of the suns rays during the warm months while minimizing blocking the suns rays in the winter.
Next, you have to select what kind of tree you prefer. Ideally you will want a tree that can make a dense shade and grows very tall; ideally 60 feet or more, which has a spread of over twenty five feet. Another thing to be aware of is that throughout the hottest part of summer time, the mature tree will create a shadow at 4 p.m. that is as long as the tree is tall. Typically, the southwest or southeast side of the home would be the best location for a shade tree.
Make certain that the tree is far enough away from the house making sure that when the tree is mature animals cannot use the tree as a easy way of entering your attic. Also you should be mindful of leaves clogging the gutters. If the total spread of the fully developed tree is 50 feet, then your limbs will spread twenty five feet in each direction when the tree is develop fully. You will need a space that is at least 15 to 20 feet from the house to the tip of the branch spread of a fully developed tree. Remember that air flow will be as significant as shade when keeping the house cool.
One more thing to take into account when planting such a large tree is that the root system will likely grow to be large. Ensure that the tree is far enough from any septic lines, drain tiles, and foundations, as this can create problems down the road.
