When a tree is damaged or gets in the way, simply removing it may seem like the easiest option. However, trees provide significant benefits to your home, some of which you may not notice until after they’re gone. Below are a few reasons you should call a tree service to preserve your trees or plant new ones around your home.

3 Ways Trees Benefit Your Home

1. Added Curb Appeal

Whether or not you’re planning on selling your home, curb appeal is key to boosting your property value. Trees provide the perfect setting for any style of home, making your property look lush and inviting. A professional tree service can trim, prune, and shape your trees so they stay in great shape and last for years. 

2. Increased Energy Efficiency

Shade trees can decrease temperatures by as much as 25 degrees, which could impact your indoor comfort, as well. If trees shade part of your house and block sunlight from large windows, your air conditioning system won’t have to work as hard to cool your home. Depending on your local climate and the placement of your trees, the energy efficiency benefits could shave hundreds of dollars off your electric bill.

3. Added Privacy

Trees don’t just shield sunlight from your home, they also protect you from nosy neighbors. For most of the year, healthy trees provide a natural barrier between your property and neighboring houses, without the expense or maintenance of installing a fence. If you want to add more privacy, consider hiring a professional tree service to plant more trees in your yard.
