+# Nested Results
+
+Use the `toTree()` method on the result collection to generate a nested tree:
+
+```php
+$users = User::tree()->get();
+
+$tree = $users->toTree();
+```
+
+This recursively sets `children` and `parent` relationships:
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "id": 1,
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "id": 2,
+        "children": [
+          {
+            "id": 4,
