Your yard will likely be the first part of your property that guests see when visiting, or that neighbors see walking by. Dead, overgrown or diseased trees may stick out blatantly on your lawn and affect the image of the rest of your home. Here are three reasons why healthy trees are so valuable and why arborists are the best options for routine tree removal services.

Save Money

Money does not grow on trees, yet you can better retain your income if your property has plenty of trees. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, trees can reduce home temperatures by up to nine degrees Fahrenheit, and any outdoor shaded area can become up to 20-45 degrees cooler than those in the sun. Natural shade reduces the need for air conditioning in the summer and can relieve the need for electrical fans outside as well. If you contact an arborist company after your storm season each year, you can have access to consultations that ensure your trees grow evenly and healthily around your home.

Benefit Your Mental Health

The most visually appealing trees tend to be those which are lush, full of color, and either tower above us or bear fruit at our fingertips. Routine arborist services can maintain your trees for you or remove them if they've died or become unsightly. Regardless of appearance, though, trees give off phytoncides in nature that help produce that feeling of peace and awe when surrounded by nature. These natural compounds are great for stress, as is their ability to clean the air around your home.

Trees Can Become Hazards When Neglected

Nature favors disorder, and so trees typically will not grow symmetrically, straight up in the air, or as perfectly as you desire them to. When left to grow on their own, they may get too large or too close to your home and could then pose a threat on a stormy day. Arborists provide excellent immediate storm relief, but so too do they offer preventative measures such as pruning and tree removal. Pruning a tree of loose branches or ones close to your home can keep your home safer, just in case.
