BENEFITS OF TREES & SHRUBS ON YOUR PROPERTY
In general, a home or a business that has greenery on the property tends to draw the eye more than a property that does not. Potential customers are more likely to visit businesses with landscaping, and homes with gardens often provide higher value in the real estate market. But beyond the curb appeal, there are other benefits to having trees and shrubs on your property:
- They can provide privacy, shade, and beauty to your home or business.
- They can help to reduce noise pollution.
- They can reduce your energy costs by providing natural insulation and cooling.
- They can act as a natural windbreak.
- They can help to improve air quality.
- They can provide homes for wildlife that help control insects and keep your soil healthy.

WHERE TO PLANT ON YOUR PROPERTY
When you’re ready to plant, it’s essential to pick the right location. You’ll need to take into account the size of the mature tree or shrub, as well as its root system. The roots of some trees can spread far beyond the reach of the branches, so you’ll need to ensure that there is enough space for the roots to grow without damaging your property or any underground utility lines. You’ll also want to ensure that your chosen location gets the right amount of sunlight and has well-draining soil.
