How Landscapes & Tree Services Add Value to Your House

Tree Service For Home ValuesHow Landscapes Add Value to Your House

Your house/property is probably the densest of the assets that you own. No amount of gold or cars can ever replace your home that your family lives in. Oh, what you do not do to increase the value of your house, you paint it, you repaint it, and you spend your precious time installing showers and steam baths. Changing your old door for new oak wood ones, tree trimming in backyard landscapes and carpeting the living room and whatnot! What if I tell you that house value is not necessarily increased with indoor renovation? Trees in your landscapes and yards, front and back, add so much and they are worth trimming and pruning and keeping healthy. Arborists can really help keep them alive and looking great. They can also teach you how you can keep your trees living a long time. Look for a great tree service like Mesa Trees in Mesa AZ who are willing and able to tell you ways to keep your trees looking great. For that you have to think out of the house… may be the pool area or the poor, neglected yard that is so desiccated it could almost be compared to a graveyard! Renovate that yard and add some value to your house.

Trees Add Landscape Charm

You may think landscaping the yard is really a superfluous expense but do you know what kind of worth does it add to your property? Any person seeking for a safe haven would search for a pleasant place and a house with a barren backyard is no sight to relish. Whereas, a landscaped backyard would be a picturesque view with either vines cascading down an arch or climber hung to a wall which would not only be a beautiful sight but the wall might not need repainting. House seekers would love a home where their lungs are bombarded with a fresh garden smell creating a sensational aura about the house and sanitized air to breath. It would really hide other degrading aspects of your house and any ugly piece of wood and cement can be beautified with the help of landscaping.

Tree Services Can Increase Home Values

House With Beautiful Tree

However, for effectiveness landscaping has to be implemented correctly, the texture and colors are to be added to the right places that are either dull or devoid of sun. While, large plants or plant lifters should be added in void corners that would indeed look better when filled. Trees can add significant elegance to your home if they are selected properly and placed well. Tree service professionals as well as experienced landscapers can aid in helping make sure the trees are placed well. Remember that they grow many time larger than they are when you buy them. Yet, it is important to ensure that the yard is designed in a modern, elegant way where there shouldn’t be as many plants that would either block the view or hide the spaciousness of the yard. Less plants or trees in an organized way such as decorated with a stoned pathway or a circular arch would look as striking as any. Every dollar that you spent in beautification and maintenance will be returned tenfold by potential buyers!

Ever Wonder What Botany Is?

When I was in collage my neighbor was studying botany. I did not know much about it but the garden in the front was one of the most interesting gardens in the area. We also ate really well since she not only planted decorative plants but edible ones also. I had never eaten some of the greens she grew until then. I learned to really enjoy taking care of the garden and plants. Watering them became a meditative task after the rigors of the days on campus and nights of homework.Desert Flowers

So I thought that in respect to that memory and to the skilled and trained botanists out there I would post this:

What is Botany?

Botany is the scientific study of plants. “Plants,” to most people, means a wide range of living organisms from the smallest bacteria to the largest living things – the giant sequoia trees. By this definition plants include: algae, fungi, lichens, mosses, ferns, conifers and flowering plants. Today scientists believe bacteria, algae and fungi are in their own distinct kingdoms, but most general botany courses, and most Botany Departments at colleges and universities, still teach about these groups.

Because the field is so broad, there are many kinds of plant biologists and many different opportunities available. Botanists interested in ecology study interactions of plants with other organisms and the environment. Other field botanists search to find new species or do experiments to discover how plants grow under different conditions. Some botanists study the structure of plants. They may work in the field, concentrating on the pattern of the whole plant. Others use microscopes to study the most detailed fine structure of individual cells. Many botanists do experiments to determine how plants convert simple chemical compounds into more complex chemicals. They may even study how genetic information in DNA controls plant development. Botanists study processes that occur on a time scale ranging from fractions of a second in individual cells to those that unfold over eons of evolutionary time.

The results of botanical research increase and improve our supply of medicines, foods, fibers, building materials, and other plant products. Conservationists use botanical knowledge to help manage parks, forests, range lands, and wilderness areas. Public health and environmental protection professionals depend on their understanding of plant science to help solve pollution problems.

I don’t remember her name but it is nice to me that I still remember the experience. I thought I would also post some recent picture of plants and trees from some local travel we did. These are some desert trees and plants from the Sonora desert. The temperatures there can reach 120F in the summer but are usually around 110F. But, it does not cool off at night much so the plants and trees never get a break in the summer.Roadside Arizona Tree
