Investing in a tree care service can often go overlooked by homeowners and property managers. However, it’s usually an investment that pays off and one that comes with numerous benefits. Beyond just the aesthetic appeal of beautiful, healthy trees, there are also financial benefits to be reaped when investing in your trees’ good health.
1. Increased Property Value
Beautiful, well-maintained trees enhance curb appeal, and add to the attractiveness of your property overall. This increases the value of your property and makes it much more appealing to potential buyers.
2. Energy Cost Savings
When trees are strategically positioned around buildings they can play a big part in reducing energy costs. Trees can provide shade in summer, which can translate into big savings on air conditioning bills. In winter, trees can serve as very efficient wind breaks, reducing heating costs. Over time, these savings add up, making the initial investment in tree care services very worthwhile.
3. Damage Prevention
A well cared for tree, is usually a safer tree, which is much less likely to fail in the next big storm. Regular tree care and maintenance goes a long way in preventing costly damages that can happen when a tree is not looked after properly. Dead, dying or diseased limbs can pose significant risks if they fall in a heavy wind or severe storm, which can result in costly repairs.
Damage to your home, paths, driveways and foundations can also occur if a tree is not properly maintained. Having a proactive approach to your tree care could save you thousands down the track. The cost of emergency tree services and paying for major damages far outweighs the cost of regular maintenance, not to mention your peace of mind.
4. Enhanced Business Image
If you are a commercial property owner, beautiful, well cared for trees can have a big impact on customer and client perceptions and make your property much more appealing. Attractive landscaping and healthy trees are much more aesthetically pleasing than a neglected space with unhealthy trees.
5. Tree Health And Longevity
Investing in your trees now will mean they are much more likely to thrive long into the future. Regular pruning, disease treatment, soil management and regular inspections are all part of tree care and maintenance and help ensure your tree lives a long, healthy life. Not only will you have strong, healthy trees, but you are also likely to reduce long term costs associated with unhealthy trees such as tree removal, replacement and damage costs.
If you have a suspect tree, a tree located close to your home or you just want peace of mind, it’s a great idea to have a certified Arborist carry out a Tree risk assessment, whereby they inspect the tree, identify any issues and determine the likelihood of tree failure or falling. This proactive approach could save you thousands of dollars and a big headache down the line.
6. Legal Considerations
It is a legal obligation for property owners to ensure that trees on their property do not pose a risk or danger to others. If an accident occurs due to a tree not being properly cared for, you as the property owner could be liable to pay for damages.
Maintaining your tree will ensure you are compliant with local regulations and help mitigate your risk of accidents occurring in the first place.
In addition, some insurance companies require evidence of tree work being carried out to ensure trees are well maintained and less likely to cause damage to a property, and this can result in a reduced premium in some instances.
7. Environmental And Social Benefits
An indirect benefit of well cared for trees is the broader environmental and community benefits that contribute to economic well-being. Healthy trees improve air quality, reduce stormwater run-off, provide food and shelter for native wildlife, provide shade for kids to play and just make a space more beautiful. These benefits enhance quality of life and makes them much more desirable places to live and work. Properties with more trees are often in higher demand and tend to retain their value much more than those in less treed areas.
