You may not think about it that often – but the trees on your property are a lifetime investment.
Whether you’re getting ready to sell your home or settling into your space, you want to make decisions that benefit you.
Considerately chosen trees on your property provide more than beauty – they increase the value of your home. Several recent surveys have shown that mature trees in a well-landscaped garden can increase the value of a house by 7 percent to 19 percent.
First impressions count when buying and selling a house. Something to reflect on is what happens when potential buyers view a property. The first thing they will see is your landscaping and exterior.
Think about how renters behave when they move into a new apartment? Generally, one of the first items renters add to their apartments is a plant. Having something living and growing in a rental unit can transform it from a generic living space into a home. It’s no surprise, then, that planting trees around your buildings has the same effect on a larger scale. Put simply, the right trees can create curb appeal and make a property more attractive to potential buyers or more appealing to the homeowners themselves.
Experts indicate that a well-maintained garden with mature trees can add thousands to a home’s value and speed up a house sale too.
In addition to adding significant value at the point of sale, trees also serve very practical and functional (as well as aesthetic) purposes for homeowners.
Consider for a moment how your trees make you feel?
Relaxed, calm, connected to nature would be commonly held reactions to this question. They frame beautiful, relaxing, and pleasant landscapes. However, in addition to the beauty they provide, they also serve a practical purpose. Its likely your trees provide shade that helps to cool your house in the warmer months (potentially offering savings on air conditioning) as well as acting as a barrier to high or cold winds in the winter, thus reducing heating costs. They might also provide privacy from your neighbours, or a sense of security or, as this blog would suggest, value to the bottom line of your property.
Respectful, experienced, and passionate tree care that protects and enhances your home.
Many tree care companies simply chop, cut, and call the job done. However, for THE TREE PEOPLE, this approach is not acceptable. They are different. Simply put, they know your home is your haven and will always ensure it is treated that way. They never simply chop and cut, and instead pride themselves on the fact that they go against the grain of how many other arborists operate.
This approach is highly valued but their repeat and existing customers as it means they can entirely trust them with their trees. They know that their space is respected and that their trees and outdoor area will be looked after. More often than not, customers remark on how delighted they are not only with the job itself but with how clean and tidy the site has been left post the job.
Ra Hammer, Company Director, states, “we treat your trees as if they are our trees. We will always respect your space and work with integrity and respect. We are passionate about what we do that and that means we’ll go above and beyond to ensure you and your trees are ‘happy’ with the job.”
The team can help with any tree and pride themselves on being able to do so. They can remove large dangerous trees safely, look after the trees that you care about, transplant established trees with care and offer expert advice on all ‘things’ trees.
Speaking with passion about what he does, Hammer adds, “We had some very clear goals when we started the business that we still ‘live by’ today. It was important to us to preserve and maintain trees sustainably, to provide an environment that helps our customers to enjoy harmonious relationships with their trees, to offer excellent affordable tree care and to always adhere to best practice. I am proud to say that 16 years later, we still live and breathe these goals.”
