The houses we buy and live in aren’t just physical shelters where we raise our families, rest from our labors and enjoy our lives. They are also financial investments that many people use to provide income for their later years. That makes maintaining a home, inside and out, an important financial strategy.
Furthermore, when it comes time to sell a home, a property adorned with well-manicured trees immediately stands out. First impressions always matter in real estate and mature trees add a sense of prosperity and value to a property wherever it maybe.

Trees Add to Your Home’s Curb Appeal and Aesthetic Value

A beautiful tree in your front yard adds immeasurably to curb appeal. Or perhaps you want to have some fruit trees on the side and back, providing stunning blossoms in the spring and delicious fruit in the fall. You’ll find these additions are well worth the investment for several reasons.

They Increase Energy Efficiency and Reduce Home Cooling Costs

Trees aren’t just aesthetically pleasing. Strategically planted, they can provide natural shade for homes, especially during hot summer months. A tree’s foliage helps reduce the amount of direct sunlight that enters your home, leading to lower cooling costs. The leaves also act as natural air purifiers, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen which further contributes to a healthier environment and reduced energy consumption.

Trees Also Ensure Privacy from the Outside World

Trees, especially if they are tall and dense, are natural barriers to prying eyes, the sight of neighboring properties and the noise of traffic and commercial activity in the street. They create a sense of privacy and protection from the outside world and, by doing so, increase the value of your home.

Living Greenery Improves Air Quality

Shrubbery, bushes, plants and certainly large trees not only release oxygen into the air, they remove air pollutants and greenhouse gases. So, maintaining a garden and a well-landscaped front yard actually creates a healthier environment for you and your family to live in.

Plants Also Add to Our Emotional Well-being

Various studies have proven that our mental health is positively impacted by our exposure to nature in the form of plants. The closer we are to green growing things, the better we feel about our environment, ourselves and life in general.

Trees, for example, give us a sense of stability and continued growth that is calming and encouraging. They also provide places where birds and small animals can live, children can play and adults can rest in their shade.

Trees Make Your Home More Valuable

Although some home improvements have a limited lifespan, trees continue to grow, flourish and add to your home’s desirability year by year. As they mature, their beauty and usefulness only increase, and they show your home off to its best advantage.
