How Healthy Trees Can Increase the Value of Your Home

Truth be told, many of us have trees on our property simply because they’ve been there for as long as we can even remember. It’s not really like we went out of our way to plant a tree. But because trees offer a number of features that humans would definitely benefit from, some who do not initially have trees on their property would intentionally plant trees to reap its benefits years or even decades after.

As they say, we may not see the instant effects trees have on us now, but planting trees would make the future a better place for the coming generations.

You see trees offer numerous benefits, and these are all enjoyed by the property owner and people who live within that property. Some of the many advantages of having a tree in your property are the following:

• Filters out air pollution
• Offers ample shade so your home would be cooler even during the summer
• Beautifies your garden
• Some trees can bear flowers and/or fruits

But aside from the benefits we already know about, you must know as well that trees can increase the value of your home. And it can’t be just any tree - what you need to have are healthy trees.

So how exactly can healthy trees increase the value of your home or the property itself? If you’re putting your property up for sale, then potential buyers would look around for current features of your home including its landscape. You don’t necessarily need to have a luxuriously landscaped garden outright, because that part comes easy. After all, you can just hire a gardener or a landscaper to fix your garden and they can get it done within a couple of days.

However, when it comes to trees, beauty and health doesn’t really happen overnight. While you can easily get a nice full grown tree transplanted directly to your property, it may cost quite a bit. If you will spend a lot to get that done just to get greater value for your real estate, then it wouldn’t make any sense as you spent that amount to for tree transplanting anyway.

But if you properly care for and maintain the trees you already have on your property with services such as regular tree trimming, tree pruning and even tree fertilization, then you can be rest assured that these trees would look beautiful and remain healthy for many years to come.

Furthermore, healthy trees are considered less risky and much safer compared to weak trees. In case of a storm or hurricane, there’s better chance for a healthy tree to remain strong. Weak trees may end up damaging the property. Of course, if there are hazards in your property, its value decreases.

These buyers would appreciate seeing a healthy tree flourishing in your property. If they see a dead, weak or sick one, then they know that they might be spending for tree maintenance once they have already moved in. Picture this - your property and a property right beside yours are both for sale; yours have trees that are beautiful and healthy, and the other one comes with trees that are weak or dead. Which of the two properties do you think a potential buyer would choose? Of course, they would choose yours and may even be willing to pay extra!
