Well, this is a question that many people ask themselves when they are designing or redoing their landscape. Although I am a bit bias, I believe that I can show you why Landscaping with Large Trees has a much greater value and can actually become more cost effective than landscaping with small trees.

When you talk to most any landscaper they will tell you that, if you are going to use smaller plantings in your landscape design, to space the trees, plants, and shrubs so they will look good 5 to 10 years down the road. This is important, especially for trees, because if the trees are planted to close together when small, when they grow larger they can make your yard look extremely cluttered and overgrown. If your plants become overgrown in time, they can easily be removed and transplanted somewhere else. Trees on the other hand cannot be so easily relocated.

The problem is, if you are planting for 5 to 10 years down the road, you need to ask yourself is why you are doing any landscaping in the first place. Some common answers might be: to add beauty and interest to my yard, to have a place where I can go to relax and find peace, to increase my property value, to provide privacy and shade, to provide a wind break or block excessive noise. These answers probably cover about 95% of the reasons why people decide to landscape their yards. The dilemma is that to truly accomplish what it is that you want your landscaping design to accomplish; you are going to have to wait 5-10 years - generally people only live in their house for 5-10 years. Then it comes down to why you did the landscaping in the first place. Why would you pay for landscaping for the next owners to enjoy, when you could pay a little more to have a landscaped yard that you can admire from the day it is completed and not have to wait until you are going to move out before you can truly appreciate the full potential of what you where trying to accomplish.

The other issue is proportionally, planting a small tree in an area that is designed for a large tree will make your landscape look out of proportion until the tree matures. When you do interior decorating you do not put one very small picture on a large open wall because it would look out of place, the same holds true outside. Why would you plant a small tree in an area that demands a large tree to make it appear proportional to the surrounding area?

If your goal is privacy or to block wind or noise consider that a 10 foot tall spruce tree will be about 3.5X wider than a 3 foot tall tree. Also by blocking wind or shading the house will cut down on heating and cooling utility expenses. By planting small trees you are missing out on any utility cost savings. According to the American Public Power Association, Landscaping can reduce air conditioning costs by up to 50 percent, by shading the windows and walls of a home. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was quoted as saying Trees can reduce bothersome noise by up to 50 percent and can mask unwanted noises with pleasant sounds. Also American Forests did a study and found that Trees can reduce temperatures by as much as nine degrees Fahrenheit.

If your goal is to add value to your home consider that A mature tree can often have an appraised value of between $1,000 and $10,000, while it was found that small trees did not have any effect on the selling price of the home.

Follow this link: Garden Centers Milwaukee to see pictures of a lot different choices in Large Trees as well as a detailed description of each tree along with the prices. This way you can see about what each tree would cost if you wanted to landscape with Big Trees.

Give your local landscaper a call to show you how these trees can be worked into your landscape plans. There are a lot of Landscapers in Milwaukee but few of them own the correct equipment to transplant, handle, and move large Landscaping Trees. Make sure that if you decide to landscape with large trees that the contractor you hire has the proper equipment and insurance to move these trees.

I have a large selection of trees for sale (evergreens, shade trees, ornamental, and flowering) on my website along with many other Wisconsin Landscaping Tips.

Ford's Crown Victoria and Taurus: Like Big Brother, Little Brother

In the Ford family of sedans, the Crown Victoria and the Taurus are like big brother, little brother.

In use by police forces across the U.S., big brother Crown Victoria ranks among Ford's most popular full-size, six-passenger fleet vehicles. It last rolled out of the assembly line as a civilian car for the 2007 model year.

The base Ford Crown Victoria engine is a hefty 4.6-liter Modular V8 that commands a great deal of respect.

The little brother Taurus, on the other hand, is a mid-size family sedan with a supple, comfortable ride. It typically comes with a 3.5-liter V6 that churns out 263 hp.

Ford Taurus Engines include the base option as well as a twin-turbo EcoBoost version that spews out 365 horses on the same 3.5-liter V6 configuration.

The 263 hp 3.5-liter Duratec 35 V6 eminently fits the bill as one of the Ford Taurus Engines, replacing the earlier 203 hp Duratec 30 3.0 L V6. The Duratec 35 was on Ward's 10 Best Engines list as early as 2007.

Grouped within the Cyclone family, these Duratecs belong to Ford's latest DOHC V6 family of gasoline engines, and share the following fundamental features:

* DOHC
* Aluminum block and head
* 4-valve per cylinder head
* So-called DAMB camshaft tappets (Direct Acting Mechanical Buckets)
* Variable cam timing (VCT) on the intake camshafts.

Additional goodies, like direct injection, turbocharging and exhaust cam shafts with VCT, were added to the EcoBoost variant, which is ULEV-II compliant and meets PZEV requirement.

It is worth noting that the EcoBoost V6 manages to achieve fuel economy comparable to the base 3.5L V6. Its fuel charging and delivery components were co-developed with Robert Bosch GmbH.

As a powerful testament to its faith in the Cyclone engine line, Ford expects it to be in one out of five vehicles it produces by this decade's end.

The Ford Taurus Engines are assembled at the company's engine plant in Lima, Ohio, with future expansion planned for its facility in Cleveland.

The Crown Victoria, on the other hand, is equipped with a base 4.6-liter 16-valve SOHC V8 Modular engine that releases 224 horsepower and 272 lb-ft of torque.

The higher performance LX model is mated to a Ford Crown Victoria engine that packs 239 horses and 287 lb-ft of torque.

The Modular engine actually got its start as prime mover of the 1991 Lincoln Town Car. It has been built at both Romeo Engine Plant and Windsor Engine Plant.

It should be noted that Ford's engine revision practice doesn't assign high priority to compatibility with earlier versions, so parts from a modular engine belonging to one model year may not necessarily fit an engine made in another.

Also, there is no guarantee that all the parts for an engine manufactured in Romeo will be compatible to those made in Windsor. This is an important point to remember about a Ford Crown Victoria engine.

Stock market rally runs out of steam
Stocks burst out of the gate Tuesday morning in a somewhat surprising but welcome surge following last week's big sell-off, but the rally ran out of steam by midafternoon and only a late push prevented an eighth consecutive day of losses for investors.
