TREES

Trees planted in clumps rather than evenly spaced along the road add interest, create habitat, and provide better shade. Var ying species and size can help make groupings more visually interesting. In parking lots, tree wells with shade trees are recommended roughly ever y 10 spaces. Adding trees around the perimeter of parking lots is also recommended where possible.
