Planteringstyper refers to the various methods and arrangements used when planting trees, shrubs, and other plants, particularly in urban and landscape contexts. The choice of planting type is influenced by factors such as aesthetic goals, functional requirements, site conditions, and available space.

One common type is single planting, where a solitary specimen is placed in a prominent location to act as a focal point. This is often used for trees with striking form or color. Group planting involves arranging several plants together, which can create a more substantial visual impact or a specific habitat. This can range from small clusters of perennials to larger groves of trees.

Linear planting is characterized by plants arranged in rows or lines, often used along pathways, driveways, or property boundaries. This creates a sense of order and structure. Mass planting involves covering a large area with a single species or a mix of similar plants, creating a unified and often dramatic effect. This is frequently seen in flower beds or for ground cover.

Hedge planting, a specific form of linear planting, is used to create a dense barrier or screen, often for privacy or to define spaces. Woodland planting mimics natural forest ecosystems, with a diverse mix of trees and understory plants, aiming for a naturalistic and biodiverse outcome. In urban settings, street tree planting is a crucial type, where trees are planted along streets to provide shade, improve air quality, and enhance the visual appeal of the cityscape. Container planting, using pots or planters, offers flexibility for temporary displays or in areas where in-ground planting is not feasible. Each type serves distinct purposes in shaping the built and natural environment.
