Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

In landscaping, an avenue, alameda, or allée is a straight path or road that runs between dual rows of trees or large shrubs. As its Latin origin venire indicates, an avenue is used to emphasize the "coming to" or arrival at a landscape or architectural feature. In most cases, the trees planted in an avenue will be all of the same species or cultivar, so as to give uniform appearance along the full length of the avenue.
