Large,
mature trees add value to a property's landscape. A single tree adds
upwards of $1,000 to your home's property value and, cared for
correctly, increases your home's curb appeal as well.
Whether
you want to make your home's curb appeal better for personal gain or
because you're putting your house on the market, here are five tree
services that make your property's exterior as beautiful as your home
is inside.
1.
Tree Planting
The
right species of tree will give your home not just curb appeal, but
even more home value. Certain trees, such as the Dogwood or Japanese
maple, are ornate in their natural structure or bark design, which
lends beauty and charm to your landscape. Witch hazel is a unique and
ornate tree that works well for the front or street view side of your
property for visual appeal.
Where
you plant your trees is just as important as the species selected.
Your tree
specialist
will
examine your yard and show you areas where trees will thrive and
provide ample shade and the most attraction for your yard.
2.
Tree Relocation
Over
time, mature trees can outgrow their current location. Existing trees
can be relocated to another part of your landscape to give your
property greater curb appeal.
If
a tree is in healthy condition, your tree specialist will dig up the
tree around its main roots, creating a root ball that makes the tree
sturdy for transplanting elsewhere in your yard. Roots left behind by
the tree's former location will be killed or stunted by your tree
specialist.
Not
all trees can be relocated; if a tree needs to be moved because it
overhangs your garage or home or is otherwise creating an obstruction
on your property, tree removal is a wiser option.
3.
Tree Removal
Dead,
dying, or poorly-placed trees have the opposite effect on your
property, taking away from your home's curb appeal. Some tree
species, such as the White Mulberry or Norway Maple, are beautiful on
their own but produce suckers around their roots that are difficult
to manage. Other trees become overcrowded, which leads to unhealthy
tree growth and an unkempt yard appearance.
Never
attempt to remove a tree from your property on your own as a tree
usually has to be partially sawed before removal to prevent damage to
other parts of your property. Your tree specialist shows you which of
your trees should be cut down for increased landscape appeal and cuts
down trees and their accompanying stumps professionally.
4.
Tree Pruning
Tree
pruning is essential to healthy tree growth and shapes your trees so
you get the best shade. Fruit trees in particular benefit from
pruning, as this procedure promotes healthy fruit production and
minimizes wasted fruit.
Depending
on the types of trees you have, pruning should be done seasonally or
periodically. Larger shade trees should be pruned every few years to
maintain their shape while fruit-bearing trees often need to be
pruned on a yearly basis. Every tree species will have its own
pruning schedule as advised by your tree specialist.
Investing
in your landscape preserves your existing trees and allows you to
appreciate your young and mature trees to the fullest. Regular
maintenance is required to keep your landscape looking lush and
cared-for. Your tree specialist creates a maintenance plan that works
best for the type of trees you have.

right tree expert will provide prompt and professional service, which
