Other factors to consider before planting additional trees:

They make yard clean-up more difficult and more necessary.

If whatever falls from trees isn't scrupulously cleaned up you can get baby trees growing all over the yard before you know it.

They grow faster than you would expect.

Sometimes they block the view of the house completely.

If they get diseased they may fall on your house or car.

Of course, they have their excellent side as well: They provide shade and privacy. The right ones make the yard look nice. You can hang a swing on them or put a chair under them.
