What type of tree recommended for front yard

L A
10 years ago

I'm having a tree removed (silver maple i believe), to replaced a Walkway that was poured around the tree. I'm having a irrigation system installed.

Frontage is about 60 x 60, with the walkway bicecting the front. I'm trying to decide of i should plant a tree on either side of the walkway.

What would be a good choice that the root system will top out at about 20 ft so b it wound destroy the driveway on one side, or Walkway on the other?

Share is not really a big deal. This is more about aesthetics than function.

Should it be the same tree on both sides?

Thanks
