When thinking of planting a tree, customers will often ask what benefits there are, and although the list could go on forever, we will name some of the most important ones for you!

• Well maintained trees are a great property INVESTMENT – not only does it add to the beauty of your existing property, but it will increase its value as well. Properties that don’t have many trees or trees that are not maintained properly don’t often have much of a desirable look, where as homes with beautiful trees surrounding the property have much high value.
• Trees will help you SAVE MONEY! – throughout the seasons, trees are beneficial in saving you money in ways you would have never known. During the hot summer months, trees provide cool breezy shade over your home, allowing you to save and cut down that air-conditioning bill. While in the winter, trees trap hot air and block freezing winds from seeping into your home
• Trees are beneficial for our ENVIRONMENT – most people know trees combat against excess carbon dioxide built up in our atmosphere but to put into perspective at what magnitude think of this. In a single year, an acre of mature trees absorb the same amount of CO2 produced when you drive your car 40,000km!  Additionally trees reduce runoff by breaking rainfall and allowing the water to flow down the trunk and into the earth below the tree. This prevents storm water from carrying pollutants to our freshwater supplies. When mulched, trees act like a sponge that filters this water naturally and uses it to recharge groundwater supplies.From our atmosphere to our water, trees bring so many benefits.
