Planting trees along a long dirt driveway

Posted by castleinthedesert 9 (ddicarlo77@aol.com) on

Hello.....I am new to the Forum..and I have a question regarding the planting of trees along a "dirt" driveway. The driveway is very long.......400x24 ft to be precise. My question is to anyone out there......any suggestions as to what kind of trees I should plant to outline the driveway? I would prefer the "evergreen" type. I am new to the "landscaping" world with no clue whatsoever as to what to plant. I am using the Mediterranean/Xeriscaping styles in my areas surrounding my home, but the driveway has presented a problem due to its long stretch. I appreciate any suggestions you can offer. Thanks a lot!!!

You might be more specific as to the region of the country in which you live, as well as other local factors such as soil type, pH, water availibility, etc.

Though you are bound to get some great ideas in this forum, you could also try the Tree Forum, and the Landscape Design Forum.

RE: Planting trees along a long dirt driveway

Sorry, I should have been more specific in my "first" forum. I live in Southern California - Inland Empire (desert conditions) - Zone 9. My soil type is "sandy and dry". I am using the "drip" system for all trees due to a water issue here. PH is something totally "foreign" to me but I am working on it.
