Benefits of Trees

Trees in a community or residential property provide several benefits. These benefits include: fruit, privacy, cleaner air and water. Trees can be strategically planted to mitigate noise and stormwater run-off damage. The shade of trees in the summer months can reduce the electrical costs for home cooling. Also, shade makes it more comfortable for children and adults to exercise outside. Trees provide a natural way to avoid direct sunlight.

The biodiversity of trees supports wildlife habitat as well.

If you are considering adding trees to your property or community, it would be good to consult an arborist. Its a common mistake to select a tree that will grow too large for the location or too close to a home. An arborist can review the site and recommend the appropriate tree for the soil type, sunlight, mature tree height and distance from structures.
