Now that seen the importance of hiring a certified tree-care professional, let’s discuss how that expense will pay for itself.

Money Grows on Trees!1. First, let's look at the increased property value associated with having healthy trees.
 Healthy trees do not suffer from root collar, weak limbs, or breakage. The US Forest Service estimates that simply having trees on your property can increase its value by up to 15%!  That’s a pretty nice ROI, considering the cost of trees from a nursery. Many quality nurseries will have saplings in the $50-$75 price range.

2. Property owners can see savings when the trees’ planting and care is well-planned and maintained. This prevents future damage. Future tree maintenance or associated landscape management will only grow more expensive as inflation increases. That's a good reason to catch and solve tree problems early.

3. If you start by planting trees that are hardy and naturally disease resistant to your region, the tree will have a better chance of longer life without constant preventive care. (We're located in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Here's how to find a qualified arborist in your part of Virginia.) Native trees and plants usually cost less to water and other care costs.

4. Similarly, by planting young trees at the proper depth and spacing, you’ll help the young trees take root easier without crowding others out and, ultimately, dying off too early. This reduces tree maintenance costs. Also, adding a natural mulch around the base of your trees will help them retain moisture during the hotter summer months. This will help lower your water bill.

Other ways tree care can pay for itself:

5. Reduce summer electrical and other cooling costs by planting a shade tree. Plant one or more on your home's southern exposure. Also plant one or more shade tree over your air conditioning unit to use electricity more efficiently.

6. Trees are natural noise baffles and can save you from installing expensive noise-reduction devices. Choose evergreens combined with other mass plantings to reduce noise.

7. With proper planting, you reduce the need for frequent watering during your tree's earliest years. Watch your water bill shrink.

8. Trees provide natural shelter to wildlife, including insect and pest eating animals, such as birds.

9. Maintaining trees on your property will help reduce rainwater run-off pollution. They also naturally filter pollutants. Polluted rainwater and local sewage treatment costs are passed on to every taxpayer. Do your part to reduce these costs.

10. Trees are beautiful and enjoyed by all ages. That's priceless!  By combining thoughtful landscape planning with established tree care practices, you soon realize a savings in your property maintenance budget, as well as enjoy a tangible increase in property value
