Benefits of Landscaping

Why Should You Landscape?

Landscaping can have many benefits that most people do not consider. These hidden benefits can be useful for both individuals and larger companies. Well-done landscaping can give any area a professional and unique look. This look is highly sought after and will provide additional benefits for both the owner and for the environment.

Benefits for the Owner

  • Adds up to 20 percent to a home’s value, increasing property values.
  • Landscape is the only home improvement that increases in value as it matures.
  • Landscaping can have a recovery value of 100 to 200 percent when you sell your home.
  • Helps to sell your home faster.
  • Helps reduce air conditioning costs by up to 50 percent (Ex. Shading a/c unit or windows with a tree or shrub).
  • Landscaping can reduce noise by up to 50 percent.
  • Most importantly, landscape can add comfort and enjoyment.

Benefits for the Environment

  • Plants control runoff, slowing erosion and allowing water to be absorbed by the soil and the aquifers.
  • A tree removes carbon dioxide from the air and releases enough oxygen for a family of four to breathe for a day.
  • Plants provide essential habitat for wildlife.
  • Landscape helps cool & purify the air.

Benefits of well-done landscaping far outweigh the costs. However, we realize that cost is also a factor in many decisions.
