We are looking for fast evergreen trees to plant around our pool. Location will be on the west side of the house, plenty of sun comes in this area. Accordingly, we are looking for shade, privacy and no shedding (pool). This are is known for the seasonal Santa Ana winds (during Oct- Dec). We like a tropical, but Mediterranean style. We were thinking of Queen Palm and although this is still a considertion, we thought we can mix in trees that have a wider spread? Please advise. Thank you. PS. Do you recommend a landscape contractor that can help us with the project? We are an average income family; not deep pockets but willing to help in planting, etc. |
