1 Neighboring fences: If the fences neighboring your property are made of wood, and you install a brick fence, your home is going to stand out -- and not in a good way. 2  Try to have your fencing blend in as much as possible. 3  It will appeal more to potential buyers.
2. Nuttall Oak: This fast growing shade tree, also called red oak or pin oak, is said to be the fastest growing variety of oak, and can provide not only a leafy canopy, but a steady supply of acorns each year, which are devoured by squirrels, deer, and turkeys.3.. Northern Catalpa: The large showy flowers of the catalpa, also known as the cigar tree or the catawba, are an added attraction to having this fast growing shade tree in your yard (and great for bees), but the real magic comes from its thick canopy of large leaves.
The tree makes a stunning and beautiful shade tree in itsâ own right and can be underplanted very successfully. Perhaps most remarkably, the tree can be coppiced (cut near the base) every 5 or 6 years and the cut wood makes fantastic high-BTU firewood.
