Our arborists have assisted Atlanta, GA homeowners for 12 years and understand the area’s needs and climate. They will help select trees that will thrive in your climate, as well as nurture your saplings to ensure they thrive and grow into strong, healthy trees.

How to Choose Trees for Your Landscape

When it comes to enhancing your home or business with trees, there are a few key factors you should take into consideration.

Size: While big trees can be impressive and beautiful, their expansive root systems can cause potential problems if planted too close to your home, road, building, or utility lines.
Sun exposure: It is important to consider the sunlight needs of your trees. Some trees require direct sunlight, while others thrive in the shade. Assessing the sun exposure across your property will help select the ideal species and planting location to ensure optimal growth for the tree.
Soil composition: Testing your soil for pH and any nutrient deficiencies is a crucial step before planting trees on your property. A soil test performed by one of AKA Tree Service’s arborists will help identify if the soil needs any amendments and assists in choosing trees that will flourish in your property’s soil composition.
Water needs: Choosing a tree well suited for Atlanta, GA’s climate’s rain pattern is important. Although irrigation systems can be installed on your property, trees that do not require supplemental water are often a better choice.
Canopy: Do you prefer full shade or filtered sunlight? Many homeowners often do not consider future canopy coverage when choosing a tree to plant. The shade provided by a large tree can impact your garden or other landscaping in the area. Our arborists will assist in picking the perfect trees, taking into account your preferences and the needs of your existing landscape.

Trees That Thrive in Atlanta, GA

Arborists will often consult the USDA’s Plant Hardiness Zone Map to help determine which species will thrive within a specific area’s climate. This map takes into account factors like seasonal temperatures and annual rainfall to determine which plants will thrive in each climate.

Selecting a tree that will grow well in your local hardiness zone is vital. Several trees suitable for the hardiness zone in Atlanta, GA include:

Valley Oak: Native to California, the Valley Oak grows up to 50’ tall and 70’ wide. This tree grows slowly in full sun, and requires little water once established. Best for no-scape landscaping, away from lawns or irrigated areas, with plenty of room to grow.

Redbud (Cercis occidentalis ‘Forest Pansy’): This beauty is best recognized by its breathtaking pink-purple flowers that adorn bare branches in early spring, followed by the emergence of deep burgundy leaves that remain vibrant all season long. The Redbud grows slowly to 20’ tall and 15’ wide, and flowers best in full sun. Tolerates low water, but extra will promote faster growth. Not particular regarding soil type, as long as it has proper drainage.

Vine maple (Acer circinatum): Native to California, this is our regional equivalent of the Japanese Maple. Growing to a height and width of about 20’, this tree grows rapidly in its youth and then slows into maturity. Versatile in that it thrives in both full sun or shade, this tree is coveted for its aggressive root growth retaining soil along stream banks. Likes water, but is drought resistant once established.
Crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei ‘Natchez’): This tree is best known for its cinnamon-colored bark, late summer blooms, and leaves that turn beautiful fall shades. A great choice for patio coverage, it grows 20’ tall and wide, and prefers full sun and low water.
