According to Arbor Day Foundation, trees increase a real property’s value by up to 15%. If your home has a value of $300,000, that means it will actually have a carrying value of $345,000 because of the trees.
Aside from their added monetary value, trees are excellent wind breakers. You keep your home look better aside from your decreased heating bills during the winter season.
Of course, trees provide shade so you also save on cooling or heating costs by as much as 30%. They also lower the neighborhood’s temperature because of the heat island effect.
Finally, trees are a good source of food. If you have apple trees around your home, you don’t need to go to the shopping market to have a bunch of fresh apples.
Turn your backyard into a great investment. Plant trees.
