2. Plant Trees

If you have a lot of open space, you may want to consider planting some trees. They can be the perfect addition to your fresh new lawn. Plant trees that are three to five years old, and even consider hiring a professional landscaper to ensure the placement is the most optimal for growth.

When selecting the type of tree you wish to plant, there are some things to consider to ensure great results. Generally, the smaller the backyard, the smaller the trees should be. You will also need to consider:

• The growth rate of the tree(s) you’re planting
• The size of the tree(s) once full grown
• The maintenance and care required
