THE BENEFITS OF TREES IN LANDSCAPE DESIGNS
At Plantmark, we understand the importance of trees in creating visually stunning and functional landscapes. Trees provide much more than just beauty—they offer shade, improve air quality, enhance privacy, and create a sense of scale in any outdoor setting. Whether you need trees for smaller domestic gardens or towering trees for large-scale commercial projects, our diverse selection at Plantmark ensures that you find the perfect fit for your landscape design.

We offer trees in every size, from compact varieties under 4m ideal for small gardens, to towering giants that exceed 10m, perfect for larger properties and council projects. Whether you're seeking shade, a focal point, or even a windbreak, trees are an indispensable element in landscape design.

WHY CHOOSE TREES?
Incorporating trees into your landscape design brings a wide range of benefits. Whether you're designing a serene backyard, a bustling urban park, or an impressive commercial space, trees are essential for adding structure, beauty, and function.

Shade and cooling: Trees naturally provide cooling shade in the hot Australian climate, making outdoor spaces more relaxing and comfortable, while reducing heat in urban areas.

Privacy and wind protection: Trees like Syzygium, Pittosporum and Conifers can act as windbreaks and create privacy screens in both residential and commercial landscapes.

Aesthetic appeal: Trees provide visual impact and appeal, creating structure and height in landscapes. Feature trees, such as Japanese Maples or Ornamental Pears, make striking focal points. Their seasonal foliage, vibrant flowers, or sculptural form can transform any outdoor space.

Environmental impact: Trees improve air quality, absorb carbon dioxide, and support local biodiversity by attracting a variety of wildlife, from birds to insects, contributing to a healthy, thriving ecosystem. Our native varieties such as banksias and eucalyptus are especially important for our environment, providing a heaven for wildlife.

TYPES OF TREES FOR EVERY LANDSCAPE

At Plantmark, we offer a wide selection of tree varieties, ensuring you can find the perfect fit for any design or environment:

Evergreen trees: Ideal for year-round greenery and structure, evergreen trees like Eucalyptus, Magnolia and Adenanthos sericeus provide a lasting green canopy, making them perfect for screening and hedging (be sure to visit our dedicated hedging trees page), as well as feature planting.

Deciduous trees: These trees, such as Japanese Maple, Ornamental Pear and Silver Birch, provide a changing display of foliage, with vibrant colors in autumn, bare branches in winter, and a burst of greenery and even flowers in spring. Unlike evergreens, deciduous trees are trees that shed their leaves seasonally, allowing light through during winter, while providing shade in summer.

Australian native trees: Embrace local flora with iconic native trees like Agonis flexuosa, Banksia, Acacia and Eucalyptus, which are resilient to the Australian climate and support local wildlife. These trees not only add authenticity to your design but also promote a sustainable, low-maintenance landscape, while providing plenty of bush-tucker to our native birds and nectar feeders.

Ornamental trees: For a splash of seasonal color, flowering trees such as Ornamental Pears, Flowering Cherries and Crepe Myrtles bring stunning blossoms and visual interest to your design. They’re perfect for adding charm and character to both residential and commercial spaces.

Conifers: Known for their structural form and evergreen foliage, conifers such as Cypress and Junipers are excellent for hedging, windbreaks, or feature planting. Their tall, narrow growth makes them perfect for adding vertical interest. Make sure to visit our dedicated page for conifers here to find out more. 

TREES FOR SPECIFIC LANDSCAPE NEEDS

Feature trees: Make a bold statement in your design with feature trees like our range of stunning Japanese Maples or flowering Crepe Myrtles, perfect for adding height and drama.

Trees for small gardens: Compact varieties like dwarf fruit trees, olive trees and smaller evergreen trees such as some Grevilleas and Callistemons, offer the beauty of trees without overwhelming a smaller space. Ornamental Pears and Crepe Myrtles are excellent for small, sunny courtyards as are many of our trees available as standards.

Fruit trees: Bring both beauty and functionality to your garden with our selection of fruit trees. Varieties like olives, citrus, apple, and stone fruit trees not only offer seasonal blooms but also provide fresh produce. Dwarf fruit trees are ideal for smaller gardens, while larger fruit trees can serve as both a focal point and a productive addition to any landscape. Explore our citrus and fruit trees on our dedicated page here.

Avenue trees: Create a grand entrance with trees like Claret Ash or flowering cherries, commonly used for lining streets, driveways, or pathways. Their uniform shape and size add an elegant touch to any landscape design.

Hedging trees: Trees like our native Lilly Pillies [Syzygium sp.], Portuguese Laurel [Prunus lusitanica], Weeping Lilly Pilly [Waterhousea floribunda], Bay Tree [Laurus nobilis] and evergreen Magnolia Little Gem are perfect for creating a dense, natural hedge for privacy or wind protection.
