Tree trimming can actually boost the value of a property by adding a simple bit of curb appeal.
Most of us spend a lot of time and money on maintenance to our homes and properties. This makes sense since your home is an extension of you. You want the house and the property surrounding it to look nice, even if you aren’t putting it on the market. If you are putting it on the market, that is an even bigger reason for it to look nice. While you’re working on it, don’t forget the trees. Properly trimmed and maintained trees can actually add value to your property. Read on for reasons why tree trimming is so beneficial.
Tree Health
Trees are a valuable addition to any yard, providing shade for relaxing but also for keeping the house cool. But trees also have to withstand extreme weather, pests, diseases, and other hazards. Routine trimming and tree maintenance can help keep your tree heathy so that it can better withstand these hazards and keep going strong. A strong, healthy tree could be seen by potential buyers as adding value to the property because they will see all of the potential benefits instead of seeing the potential issues that an unhealthy tree presents.
Safety Issues
Dead or dying branches are the most hazardous part of a tree. If these limbs come down they could do serious damage to your home or property or to a neighbor’s property. Trimming your tree helps remove these dangerous limbs. If a dead limb or a dead tree does come down and do damage, your insurance company may not cover it, since you are responsible as the homeowner for maintaining the safety of the tree. Having a well-maintained tree on your property can increase the value in the eyes of potential buyers, since they don’t have to worry about these hazards.
The Total Look
Trees are a great way to add curb appeal, which translates to more interested buyers. Trimming your young trees will help them grow in full and lush to better complete the overall look of your landscape. When you do this, the whole picture of your yard starts to come together, and your home will look neat and complete. Tree trimming really is a small price to pay for all the added benefits it brings to your property.
