If you’ve ever wondered why tree care is so important, research has shown that healthy trees can increase a property’s value. Prospective homebuyers are attracted to houses with great landscaping and large, healthy trees that provide both shade and privacy. If you’re thinking of selling your home soon, consider these ways to attract buyers through curb appeal.

How to Boost Property Value With Tree Care

1. Remove Diseased & Dead Trees

Take a walk around your property and look for dead or diseased trees. An arborist can help you assess the health of your greenery and offer a solution to improve their wellness through pruning and other techniques. A professional will also safely and efficiently remove anything that can’t be saved to boost your yard’s appearance.

2. Prune Ugly, Small, or Overgrown Trees

Without proper tree care and maintenance, your greenery will either stop growing or become too large. Pruning makes your vegetation more attractive and healthier. By cutting dead branches and giving trees a better shape, you can dramatically improve your home’s curb appeal within a day.

3. Plant More Trees & Greens

Think about your landscaping. Would it appeal to you as a prospective homebuyer? If you’re not sure, seek the advice of a local gardening club on what types of greens and trees are popular, easy to plant, and look good when they mature. Use that feedback as a guide to what you can add and where.
