10 Front Yard Tree Options

When it comes to home improvement, front yard trees are the place where you really get more bang for your buck. It's where you welcome guests, make first impressions and add some serious curb appeal (while upping your property value). These trees offer beauty and interest all while providing shade, screening or shelter. Front yard trees are where you find hummingbirds getting their first spring treat on bright blossoms and where you find kids jumping in crisp autumn leaves. Front yard trees are what make a house a home.
