Recommended Trees for Paths & Driveways

Trees can set the tone or flavour of your property so depending on your specific need and the look or style you want to achieve, we hope these tree selections inspire you!  In all instances, you will need to be mindful of planting space and mature heights, particularly in relation to fencelines and structures.

Framing a driveway or entrance-way gives your space identity.

• For a formal or structured look, select small-leaved trees that can be clipped or kept neat. 'Hinterland Gold' Lilly Pilly, Ficus 'Flash' and Italian Pencil Pines are perfect for a sense of grandeur or formality. Or consider a screen of evergreen Magnolia, row of narrow-growing Acer 'Crimson Sentry' or Gingko 'Lemonlime Spire' for colour.
   
• If you prefer a natural, sweeping bushland approach, opt for a selection of trees and group them for variation and seasonality. Try Corymbia citriodora 'Scentuous', or Eucalyptus scoparia, bushy Waterhousea 'Whisper' and Pyrus calleryana 'Capital'. If you want to entice birdlife to your door, consider including Hakea laurina, Banksia, Callistemon 'Slim;' or 'Candelabra'' in the mix.
   
• Along the coast, tree options offer a more contemporary feel. Consider 'Tolley's Upright' Olives, Agonis flexuosa and Leptospernum.

To frame an entrance-way, these selections may also be of interest. 

For more alternatives, fastigiate and columnar forms are great for residential spaces where space is restricted. Need more? Driveway - Category - Trees - Speciality Trees & Avenue - Category - Trees - Speciality Trees
