Are you looking for ways to increase your home value this summer? Start with your tree care in your landscape. According to Bankrate, professional landscaping increases residential value from 15% to 20%. Here are ways to improve home value with tree services.

Safety

Your local tree company can ensure your trees don't pose a safety hazard. One way trees can pose a threat is with overgrown roots that can lift your home foundation or create a toxic waste situation by puncturing your sewer line. Overgrown branches can become heavy, especially from accumulated debris or moss, and fall on someone or a part of your home. An entire tree can fall over from illness or premature death. If such a tree is too close to your home, it can cause extensive damage and hurt someone. Your local tree company can remove a tree that's an imposing threat.

Energy Efficiency

According to Realtor, trees aid in energy efficiency when they block wind. Making your home energy efficient can reduce your carbon input and your monthly bills. Your home can be cooler in summer and warmer in winter due to the natural insulation properties of strategically planted trees.

Beauty

One of the stand-out features of well-maintained trees is their beauty. From spruces to majestic maple trees, native trees add natural aesthetics to your front lawn and backyard. The colors and textures of the beautiful flowers and fruit they produce add even more curb appeal.

Fruit Production

Imagine being able to walk outside your front or back door to pick fresh apples, pears, lemons, or nuts from your trees. From what we have noticed, more Americans are interested in growing their food in gardens. Having trees can add even more abundant healthy items without going to the grocery store. According to Gardening Know How, citrus trees are effective in attracting potential home buyers.

Privacy

Privacy is essential to feeling safe in your home. When you have enough trees, you have a natural visual barrier to give you and your family the privacy you need. Trees can protect you from the prying eyes of nosy neighbors or growing street traffic.

As you can see, maintaining existing and planting new trees are essential to adding value to your home. From additional privacy to growing healthy food to protecting existing structures, your local tree company is available to ensure trees remain healthy or remove them when needed. We can handle tree trimming, stump grinding, and full tree removal. Contact Evergreen Tree Company anytime for free estimates.
