Did you ever notice that most of the time within a parking lot region there are fewer pine trees and more deciduous trees? Is it because of the snow that piles up in parking lots during the winter? From personal experience I know that a lot of heavy, icy snow tends to bend and even break branches on the needlier trees. Perhaps it is because pine trees are more conical—wider at the bottom and they would interfere with traffic patterns.
If you do see pine trees in or around a parking lot, they are either 6+ feet away from any concrete or they have the first 8 vertical feet of their branches pruned.
