If you’re moving into your forever home, you’re likely excited to decorate the inside. However, don’t forget to beautify the exterior by working with a tree and landscaping contractor. When creating a yard design, ask them to incorporate several grown trees. Here are a few reasons why.

3 Benefits of Adding Trees to the Garden

1. Protect Air Quality

Trees will enhance the air quality around your home since they convert carbon dioxide to oxygen and release it into the air. This can be especially beneficial if you live near a busy street with heavy traffic, as the auto fumes may irritate your family’s eyes. Additionally, cleaner air will help minimize the risk of experiencing uncomfortable allergy symptoms.

2. Lower the Utility Costs

Have a tree and landscaping contractor plant the trees strategically around the yard so that they block the strong afternoon sun from streaming through the windows. This will help you keep the living spaces cooler.

In turn, the AC system will have an easier time regulating the indoor temperature; otherwise, it’d draw excessive amounts of electricity to cool your space. To maximize the savings, plant trees next to the house to prevent the siding from transferring heat indoors.

3. Enhance Curb Appeal

Trees are an eye-catching addition to any front yard. A tree and landscaping contractor can choose trees of various heights to give the space dimension and appeal. If you want to add extra pizzazz, opt for a tree with color, like one that grows lemons or plumerias.
