Increase Your Home's Value By Planting Trees

Written by Marketing Dispensary KC on May 09, 2019 .

It turns out money does grow on trees. Well, sorta. Studies show that trees can increase a home's total value by as much as 15%. Plus, trees can save you money on utilities, improve your quality of life, provide privacy, noise control and much more. Planting trees are one of the few home improvements you can make that not only adds value immediately but also increases in value as the years go by; while interior decor and design concepts regularly go out of style and mechanical systems wear down, plants grow fuller and more robust as the years go by.

Note: The specific value of adding a tree to your Kansas City landscaping can vary significantly depending on your location and the layout of your home and yard.

 

HOW TO:

1 Choose a tree type: In general, it's best to pick a type (or types) of trees that are resilient and will be relativity low maintenance. You also want to choose a species that will thrive in your area. For example, our Kansas City urban soil tends to have higher air temperatures, so we'll want a tree that likes those conditions. Since this decision depends so much on personal preference and the specific layout of your yard, we recommend visiting one of our local nursery's and speaking with an expert. Here is a list of our local nursery's:

* Suburban Lawn and Garden Center

* Heartland Nursery and Garden Center

* Rosehill Gardens

 

2 Decide where you want to plant. Since you'll be planting your tree(s) when they're small, this step involved a lot of foresight. Here is a few basic question to ask yourself: Will your tree grow too tall for that space? Where will the canopy's shade fall? Which spot will offer the most sunlight? It is very important to identify all underground utilities or sewer lines and need to be avoided.

Tip: Since your trees will last forever and they don't really like to be moved once they are planted, a professional landscapers opinion could be quite valuable.

 

3 Plant your tree. Now that you've chosen your type of trees and location, lets plant! Just like any other plant, trees have specific Photo Source Shutterstockplanting needs that will ensure they grow healthy and vigorously. It may be easier to hire a professional landscaper to handle the planting for you. If you are just planting one or two you can do it yourself by using this step-by-step guide on planting trees, visit Arbor Day Foundation.

 

4 Hire a profession. After you plant your trees, it is important to establish a relationship with a professional tree care service, like the ones at Cartwright Tree Care. A professional tree care service can ensure the health and vigor of your newly planted trees. They can assess, diagnose and treat disease, fungus and/or insects problems that arise, providing an environment where your trees will grow safe and structurally sound.

 

You'll be looking at it for many years to come, so why plant trees that will turn out to be an ugly aggravation? Rather than making a hasty decision, decide carefully so you can add a green companion to your home that you'll come to treasure.

 

Enjoy your newly planted trees!
