We have a fairly small backyard approx. 36ft wide and 25ft deep.
We are currently working on laying a cobblestone patio and we have a shed in one corner.
We would like to plant a tree that will eventually give us some shade.
Any suggestions on what type of tree for shade that will grow taller as opposed to wider?? We would also like to cover up the bottom side of the shed where you can see the base and gravel stones any suggestions on that??
We are first time home owners and know very little about gardening and plants. We attempted our front yard landscaping last year but it will have to be redone it just doens't look right!!
Thanks in advance!

would suggest a japenese silk lilac.... great tree that doesnt get too wide.. if you are looking at the lindens, I suggest a "little leaf" linden
Look into this variety it grows tall hear shape I believe is the way they describe it
