Trees are alive, like us, and require an investment and continuous maintenance in order to provide the maximum desired benefits.
Some benefits include:
-
Air Filtration. Trees filter out particulate matter and absorb harmful gasses while producing oxygen.
-
Water Purification and Conservation. Trees slow and filter rain water and protect aquifers and watersheds.
-
Lower Heating/Cooling Bills. Trees reduce yearly heating and cooling costs by 2.1 billion dollars.
-
Climate Control. Trees moderate and provide protection from the effects of sun, wind, and rain.
-
Increase Property Value. Well-cared for landscape properties with trees are 5-20% more valuable than non-landscaped properties.
-
Improve Social Interaction. Trees in neighborhoods lower the crime rate, create privacy, provide sound barriers and add beauty.
