In areas of your yard that are full sun, you do <em>not <\/em>want to plant partial-sun or partial-shade tree species, otherwise, you are putting them at a very high risk of sun overexposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have trees planted in areas of your yard that get too\nmuch sun exposure, rather than transplanting them, which can subject your trees\nto transplant shock and more, try implementing these 4 trusted methods instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2776 Install Floating Rows<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Floating row covers are lightweight cloth tarps that hang\nover a tree to provide a blanket of shade. This method works best for young or\nnewly planted trees under 3 feet tall. As an alternative, you can purchase cotton\nor burlap tarps and drape them over your tree during the hottest parts of the\nafternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2777 Incorporate Shady Plants<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>You can plant bushy, tall plants around your tree to provide\nextra shade. As these plants grow throughout the season, they will cast a\nlarger shadow around your tree. Consider ornamental grasses that grow tall and\nplentiful. Just be sure they are a full-sun species!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2778 Create a Proper Mulch Bed<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>A proper mulch application goes a long way when it comes to protecting landscaping trees. It keeps the soil cool and moist, which allows the tree to retain more water, and therefore, combat excessive sun. Regardless of age, species, or location, all planted trees should have a proper mulch bed around their base.

Trees should get five gallons of water per inch\nof their trunk\u2019s diameter, over an extended period of time. Do not water during\nthe hottest part of the day because a large percentage will just evaporate in\nthe heat. Instead, water in the early morning or in the evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Noblesville Tree Service You Can Trust<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call 317-537-9770<\/strong> for professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treeservicenoblesville.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"tree service in Noblesville (opens in a new tab)\">tree service in Noblesville<\/a>, Indiana.
