Planting trees on your property can do wonders to your curb appeal, which helps to enhance the value of your home. However, did you know that the trees themselves have value as well? Determining what that value is in terms of dollars and cents is a whole different matter, though.

It also provides food and habitat for the wildlife on your property. Not to mention the fact that trees produce oxygen and help to filter pollution from the air. The following are some of the factors we take into account when appraising the value of a tree:
- Size – We measure the height as well as the diameter of the trunk.
- Species – Some species of tree are more desirable than others – especially since some take longer to mature.
- Condition – A healthy tree with strong structural integrity is more valuable.
- Location – We consider how the tree contributes to a location’s function and aesthetic value.
