Landscaping ornamental trees in the home garden is the art that gives your home a comfortable look and adds a touch of beauty and luxury. For professional tree landscaping, it is always preferable to rely on simple rules that ensure balance and the distribution of light and space. Here is a practical and simplified guide to landscaping ornamental trees in your garden: ## 1. Distribution by Height (Layered Gradient) One of the most important landscaping rules is not to obstruct the view, and you can achieve this by dividing the trees into three layers: * **Background (Large Trees):** Planted next to fences or in distant corners to provide privacy and shade (e.g., Ficus trees, Poinciana, or Royal Palms). * **Middle (Medium Trees):** Planted in front of large trees to give depth to the space (e.g., Indian Jasmine "Plumeria" trees, or improved Bougainvillea trees). * **Foreground (Small Shrubs and Flowers):** Planted on the edges of paths and seating areas.
