Tree Planting

Trees are our friends. Think about it; they let us climb on them and swing from their limbs. They shade us, provide us with food and oxygen and help reduce pollution and floods. The list goes on and on. Trees are always there for us. In fact, trees provide us with environmental and energy saving benefits that we may have yet to even realise.

Planting trees offers a wealth of benefits to you and your property. Just to name a few, adding trees to your landscape will:

Benefit You

Trees keep yards cool in the summer, lowering your energy bill

Your trees act as natural respirators, giving off fresh oxygen

Benefit Your Property

Investment in your landscape enhances curb appeal and property value

Trees slow rain impact to divert floods and reduce UV radiation impact on your property structure.

Trees Are Environmental Protectors.

We know trees provide oxygen and shade and…

Give water. An acre of trees can put as much as 20,000 liters of water into the atmosphere each day.

Reduce noise. Trees effectively mask urban noise by up to 50 percent, almost as much as a stone wall. A properly designed buffer of trees and shrubs can reduce noise by about 5 to 10 decibels. (USDA National Agroforestry Center)

Offer oxygen. Of course it’s commonly known that trees provide oxygen. But, did you know a single tree produces approximately 260 pounds (118 liters) of oxygen per year? That means just two mature trees provide enough oxygen for a family of four. (Carbonday.com)

Save money. Consider that over a span of 50 years, one tree produces $31,250 worth of oxygen, provides $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycles $37,500 worth of water and controls $31,250 worth of soil erosion. (USDA Forest Service)

Control carbon dioxide. One person exhales 10 tons of carbon dioxide every year, and that’s just not good for our environment. One single tree removes about 1 ton of carbon dioxide per year, and one acre of trees absorbs 2.6 tons on a yearly basis. (depends on type and size of trees)

Equal less work. Experts at the Louisiana State University Extension say air conditioners cooling a fully shaded house work only half as much as those in a house that has its walls and roof exposed to the sun. (Louisiana State University Extension study)

Are cost cutters. By planting a tree today on the west side of your home, in just five years you’ll see a difference. Trees can reduce energy bills by 3 percent in five years. Wait 15 years, and you will witness a nearly 12 percent reduction. (Dr. E . Greg McPherson of the Center for Urban Forest Research)

Save in the summertime. Trees planted on the Southern side of a home can reduce the summertime electric bill by $25 a year because air conditioning can be used 30 percent less.
