Elevation Trees CAD Blocks – Perfect for Your Designs

These 22 elevation tree CAD blocks offer a representative sample of vegetation commonly used in architectural elevations, urban contexts, and landscape architecture. They include both stylized and naturalistic silhouettes, ranging from palm trees to deciduous and coniferous species. The diversity in form and density allows accurate portrayal of spatial hierarchies, vegetation stratification, and shading studies in sections or façade drawings.

Palm Trees

Typical height: 30–60 ft (9–18 m). Canopy width: 8–15 ft (2.4–4.5 m). Suitable for promenades, coastal resorts, and Mediterranean-style landscaping. Require drainage-friendly soil and deep root pits (min. 3 ft/0.9 m).

Deciduous Trees

Height: 20–50 ft (6–15 m). Width: 15–35 ft (4.5–10.5 m). Ideal for providing seasonal shade and enhancing building thermoregulation in temperate climates. Recommended spacing: 25–35 ft (7.6–10.7 m) center-to-center.

Coniferous Trees

Height: 25–80 ft (7.5–24 m). Width: 10–25 ft (3–7.5 m). Used for wind protection, privacy screens, or vertical focal points. Allow deep root anchorage and avoid close proximity to underground utilities.

• Tree pit depth: minimum 3 ft (0.9 m), preferably 4 ft (1.2 m) for large trees.
• Rootball width: 2–3 times the nursery root diameter.
• Drainage: crushed gravel base with perforated drain pipe if soil is compacted.
• Soil volume per tree: at least 30 cu. ft (0.85 m³) in paved areas.
• Mulch layer: 3–4 inches (7–10 cm), keeping a 2-inch radius clear from the trunk.

Install drip irrigation systems for young trees and trees in urban planters. In natural soil, deep watering once per week is preferred over frequent shallow watering. Use tree grates and guards in high-traffic areas.

• Residential architecture: ornamental deciduous trees for façade framing and summer shading.
• Urban planning: columnar or small canopy trees (e.g., Ginkgo, Zelkova) in narrow sidewalks or median strips.
• Public parks: native broad-canopy species with low maintenance needs (e.g., Quercus spp., Acer spp.).
• Commercial zones: drought-tolerant trees and palms with minimal leaf drop.

The drawing includes 22 distinct tree elevations grouped into the following categories:

• 2 palm trees (tropical, architectural accent)
• 4 deciduous trees without foliage (winter mode, seasonal representation)
• 6 deciduous trees in full leaf (broad, ornamental)
• 2 conifers (dense, vertical emphasis)
• 8 general-purpose trees and shrubs for residential or mixed-use projects

Each silhouette is vector-based and compatible with AutoCAD .dwg format (imperial and metersunits), optimized for use in sections, elevations, and planting design diagrams.
