1. Catalpa (INDIAN BEAN TREE)

Every backyard needs a beautiful flowering tree. Catalpa bignonioides more commonly known as the Indian bean tree is one of our preferred ornamentals. It is especially loved for its clusters of fragrantly scented conical flowers and its dramatically heart-shaped leaves. It is a nice, spreading, deciduous variety that makes for a beautiful tree over some time. Catalpa is also a good choice when fast-growing flowering trees within your yard are needed. Among the most popular species is the 'Nana' cultivar, which forms a dome-shaped tree crown, an elegant addition to any garden and able to even be contained within pots.

2. Fig

If you select a fast-growing variety you can get fruit in the first year. 'The 'Little Miss Figgy' cultivar is an outstanding choice as both an ornamental and fruit-producing landscape plant when folks want to fit a Chinese fig into a tiny outdoor area. With its dwarf, compact habit, it is smaller in fact, it grows to 4–8 feet high. It is hardier than comparable figs, yet produces large, plentiful fruits in spring and fall.

Grown for its brilliant red and purple fall foliage, since it's one of the best trees for autumn colour, this easy-care beauty is one of the most graceful trees you can include as an idea for the best low-maintenance trees to make a backyard look expensive. Another plus is that many varieties of Japanese maples will easily fit into even the smallest backyards.

4. Olive Tree

With its silvery-pale green leaves, twisted gnarled trunks, and compact size, olive trees make an interesting addition to a backyard landscaping design. They are super low maintenance. They can certainly give value for their money if you consider drought-tolerant tree planting or even the best trees for small gardens. Olive trees prefer a warm climate, with most of them growing only in planting zones 8 through 10. Some types of olive trees grow as low as zone 7. Still, they prefer a warm spot, loaded against a west or south-facing wall. 

5. Cypress

Also offering screening views of urban and suburban backyards that are overlooked, cypress provides an exclusive feel. Evergreen trees, to give that year-round luxe feel to your backyard, cypress is also a winner. Interested in buying an evergreen tree, read How to Choose an Evergreen Tree for Your Garden.
