Some people have this notion that in order to have a really aesthetically pleasing streetscape, it needs to be very well planned and thought-out. The right plants, the placement and the upkeep- this is a valid idea, but I can tell you there are ways to attain a beautiful street landscape without impeding planning. For example around the corner from where I live, this street has these huge, green trees lined up one after the next in (not perfect) unicen, but the branches extend across each opposite tree, creating an enclosing underpass. This effect of a green 'burrow', with glimpses of light rays pouring through the branch gaps makes this truly breathtaking. These particular trees don't only create a tunnel effect, but during Autumn, the colour changes and the foliage falls onto the pavement and blankets the walkway by old, rusted vermilion leaves. Spectacular. This type of landscape design does of course affect the pricing of the houses in the street, and it makes you want to drive through it. So even the simplest design plans can metamorphose into something as majestic as this panorama.
