Trees provide a wealth of benefits, and most people don’t need an arborist to tell them that. However, if you’re thinking about whether you’d like to plant trees on your commercial or residential property, it can be beneficial to review the key advantages of tree planting.
Aside from making a barren or dull landscape more beautiful, tree planting offers benefits in the following ways:
- Cooling – Trees offer shade on a hot day. However, this is not the only way they can help with cooling. Through the process of transpiration, they release water vapor into the air, which can help regulate the temperature on your property.
- Air Quality – Tree planting is excellent for air quality because trees remove carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen instead. They can also help trap pollutants.
- Soil Quality – A tree’s roots can help to prevent soil erosion and improve its structure by aerating the soil. They also absorb excess water, improving soil absorption and reducing the risk of flooding.
- Mental Health – Greenery has been linked to reduced stress and improved mental health, so tree planting can be an exceptional way to enhance your yard or commercial landscape.
- Property Value – What many people do not realize is that trees can have a significant effect on a property’s value, especially in residential areas. If you want to increase your home’s value, tree planting is one way to approach that.
