What you need to do is plant the tall trees in direction of sun so that they help block sunrays. The grading of land or topography is also an important factor to consider. If you have a land that is sloping, it means that it encourages running of surface water.

When it rains, the water collecting from driveways, yards, gardens, parking lots, and other home surfaces runs and drains to the streams.

Moreover, the source of water is another element. But, landscapes can be utilized as features for preserving and conserving the environment including water and energy. Besides, they can offer protection role in homes. It all depends on the kind of designer you are working with because there are so many elements that need to be looked.

Trees may be planted in areas down the slopes so that they assist in holding both the soils and water. With more water soaking into ground, it brings up the water table thus reducing the watering needs. Small sized lots will not require too many trees.
