Six Benefits of Trees

If you have the space to do so, planting a tree or two in your garden is a really good idea. As you will see, when you read on, they are good for both you and the environment. Specialist retailers like The Tree Center make it really easy for ordinary people to buy and enjoy all kinds of trees. They make buying mature trees surprisingly affordable and provide excellent advice about which varieties are suitable for your garden.

Reduce the risk of flooding

Trees absorb excess groundwater and help to control storm water runoff. This can greatly reduce the chances of your home flooding.

Cleanse the air

Studies into the impact that urban trees have on air-quality have produced quite startling results. Those streets that are lined with trees really do have lower levels of pollution. So, clearly, they have the potential to be beneficial for you and your family too.

Trees have a calming effect

Trees have a very positive impact on mood. The majority of people find that a walk in the forest has a calming effect on them. Many also enjoy being able to look out of the window and see the birds flitting in and out of a nearby tree. Being around trees has a very therapeutic effect on most people.

Trees provide excellent homes for wildlife

The right type of tree can provide shelter for a big variety or wildlife. Birds flock to them to nest and feed on the insects that live on and around them. Plus, some small mammals need treetop homes. In an urban environment, they are a great way to encourage the wildlife to return. That is why many planning authorities are now insisting that developers plant at least one tree in each of the properties that they build.

Trees provide shelter

Trees not only provide shelter for wildlife, they can also be used to provide protection for properties. In windy places, a screen of trees can be set up to keep the worst of the cold air away from homes. This is important from an environmental point of view because it means that homeowners do not need to have their thermostats turned up as high.

In hot climates, they can also be used to create shade. This can have a significant impact on how cool the building stays. That means that homeowners and landlords do not necessarily have to run their air-conditioning as long. You can read more about how this works by reading this study.

Economic benefits

As well as having a good impact on the environment trees also bring economic benefits. People are more attracted to leafy suburbs than they are concrete jungles. As a result, they are happy to pay more for a property that has a nice tree in its yard.

As you can see there are many benefits. So, next time you visit a nursery, why not take the time to look at the trees and choose one for your yard.
