Trees

I think that people often don't consider what type of tree to plant, there are plenty of small species or varieties that are more compact. Also people dont bother to pull out self seeded sycamores and the like, they're not particularly attractive trees and do get huge fairly quickly.
Also you can get special tree planting bags for smaller gardens. I planted three silver birches in them and it has definitely limited their height, though they do still look lovely. I've not been able to find them online so I'm sorry that I can't post a link.

The giant sycamore near us shed seeds over dozens of gardens, if u don't keep on top of them you get saplings, then small trees, they grow really quickly and have incredibly long tap roots

If we didn't keep on top of the seedlings from trees around here sprouting up all over our garden, we'd be living in a forest.

Yes, likewise, but remember

Nothing puts you back together more than a walk in woods with no noise except birds and trees.
Our world would collapse without trees.

So you’d be benefiting from your forest even if you can’t see the wood for the trees.

I suppose it would cut down on the gardening.
There are plenty of trees around here.

I was shocked to hear on Secret Garden this evening that only 5% of trees remained in Scotland in the last century, although i think there has been a reforestation programme in recent years.

Trees help you breath, the more trees the healthier the planet.
