An avenue of trees … there is nothing quite like it. The enjoyment of walking beneath trees towering above you with the sun shining through the leaves and the dappled shadows hitting the ground really is second to none. There are many trees that will form an impressive avenue when planted in this way. So selecting the right species is very much down to individual choice and will depend on the impact you require for your avenue. In many cases, the trees planted in an avenue will be all of the same species.

This will provide a uniform appearance along its entire length. However there is one common theme when looking to create an avenue; it needs to provide long lasting, admirable results. Here are trees that we recommend to fulfil the above requirements, but this list is by no means comprehensive. There are many more species available to buy that are useful for avenue planting.
