Trees can provide shade, privacy, decoration, fruit to eat or sell.
But note how high each tree and plant will grow. Allow that distance from your house walls, paths and any extension you may build in the future. Also keep it away from the neighbour's house.
If you don't, it the roots could uproot your walls, block the drains. Growth above ground could darken your windows and obscure your view and provide cover for burglars.
Tree cutting is very expensive. Make sure your gardener cuts back plants to no more than six foot high. That's so the plant is always in rich for trimming.
To pull down high branches to cut them, you can use the curved handle of an old umbrella or walking stick.
For even higher branches, you can fix a cutter on a pole, with strings attached to the handles. See videos on Youtube or Facebook.
