Silver maple is planted and used for ornamental purposes because it grows extremely fast and because its color and leaf construction is pleasing to look at. Silver maple is also used as food for certain animals such as squirrels and beavers. While other species use it for nesting.

The silver maple is used mainly as an ornamental tree, because it is a very easy tree to grow. It is naturally found near water, but is also very tolerant to urban conditions, so it's often planted alongside streets.
