Save on Energy Costs
Shade can do more for your home than you think! While it may take several years before a newly planted tree grows to the point that it can cast shade on your house, the cost savings will be worth it in the long run. Healthy, full trees can provide a cooling effect equivalent to several air conditioners working for most of the day.
Environmental Benefits
As most of you already know, trees provide us with the oxygen we need to live and breathe. Trees absorb more than just carbon dioxide; they take in additional gases such as nitrogen dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide. More trees around your property means fresher and cleaner air for you and your family.
Improve Your Mental and Physical Health
Trees are beneficial to more than just the environment—they can also reduce stress and anxiety. They have a calming effect on those around them!
Prevent Soil Erosion and Rainwater Runoff
If you’ve ever experienced heavy rainfall, you know how difficult it can be to deal with flooding. Many pollutants and bacteria can be transferred along with runoff caused by rainfall. Trees play an important role in preventing water damage brought on by heavy rain. Leaves help reduce the amount of water reaching the ground and tree roots help keep soil in place, which reduces the amount of runoff you’ll see.
Planting Trees is Easy
Planting a tree is fairly simple. Compared to gardening flowers or vegetables, you need to think less about seasonal changes. You just need to pick a good spot for what you’re aiming to accomplish!
Increase Your Property Value
Depending on the usage and placement of your trees, you can potentially increase your curb appeal and therefore your property value.
