What is Treescaping?
from: Lawn and Garden MagicTreescaping is a broadly used term that came encompass a variety of definitions and ideas:
1. The art of choosing or designing a specific land area with trees.
This may sound silly, but the concept is new and cutting edge. In today’s society, how often have you seen trees marked for destruction? They have the orange or yellow ribbons tied around them to signify whether they stay or go on the construction site. The sad truth is most builders and architects find it far easier to rip out the trees in order to build and replace them with smaller ones or bushes because it is more cost effective. What Treescaping means in terms of new construction is designing the building around the trees or keeping as many trees as possible. In other words, making the building design eco-friendly rather than an eco-destroyer.
2. The design and selection of trees to create an arbor or sanctuary.
Long driveways lined with beautiful flowering trees or majestic pines is a good example of Treescaping. Taking a barren piece of land or backyard space and creating your own forest complete with moss and ferns. Choosing just the right shade trees to enhance your property and help keep the summer utility bills lower. Creating your own backyard orchard with fruit and nut trees so your kids can see where apples, cherries, oranges and pecans come from.
3. Tree experts do treescaping
Someone with a vast amount of knowledge about trees and how to care for them so you can make sure your gorgeous timber will live a long, healthy life. They know how to prune, trim and repair any variety of tree and at the proper time of year. For example, never trim an Oak tree in the spring or summer; late fall is the best time. A tree expert knows this and we're not talking about the guy who comes knocking on your door after a severe thunderstorm wanting to clean up the downed limbs. That guy is an opportunist, not an expert. A tree expert can help you with removal, replacing and selection of the right tree(s) needed for your plans and landscape.
So, in a broad sense, treescaping is the art of selecting and maintaining trees for a specific design or area. Whether it's an architect trying to preserve the natural landscape of his building site or an arborist wanting to remove the moss from your oak trees or you wanting to create a lush and densely forested backyard; that’s what treescaping is all about. Keeping trees in our lives, forever.
