You probably already know landscaping enhances your yard’s appearance. But did you know it could also help you save a bundle on your energy costs? At Aloha ‘Aina Landscaping, the landscaping experts not only help Waimanalo, HI, residents attain beautiful yards, they help them significantly curb their heating and cooling costs. Today, they’ll explain how.

How Landscaping Reduces Heating Costs

No one likes roasting in a hot, sweaty home. The Hawaiian sun is powerful, and those rays penetrating your windows can cause your cooling prices to climb. Instead of cranking up the air conditioning, consider hiring a landscaping professional to plant shade trees strategically around your yard. Through a combination of UV blockage and the water vapor naturally emitted by the trees, your home will experience a temperature drop of as much as 6° F. An expert will be able to choose the perfect plants for the job: ones that will block heat out in the summer, but let it in during cooler months.

How Landscaping Reduces Cooling Costs

To reduce cooling costs, a professional landscaper can arrange trees, shrubs, and other plants around your home to block out even the coldest, strongest winds. A fence will also help keep your home and yard protected from the elements. In fact, studies show a smart landscape design can reduce a home’s heating and cooling costs by as much as 25%. Other tactics, including switching to solar-power lights, implementing an irrigation system, and choosing native plants, can go a long way in protecting the environment and lowering your annual energy bill.
