Risk mitigation works well for your property as well as your financial investments.

Tree care is a proven way to increase the value of your home by eliminating risks and costs.

According to the Arbor Day Foundation, a single tree over 50 years can:

• Generate $31,250 of oxygen;

• Provide $62,000 worth of air pollution control;

• Recycle $37,500 worth of water; and,

• Control $31,500 worth of soil erosion.

A tree should be seen as a multi-generational investment. If you see your property as something that will be passed on, imagine grandchildren and great grandchildren enjoying it for years to come. The type of tree, location and the care it receives will determine if you will become a beneficiary of nature.

Some of the reasons that tree care easily makes your home more marketable and valuable include:

• Removing overhanging branches improves the view from your home;

• Tree topping or thinning out branches adds light to a house or garden;

• Pruning lets in more light and air to let trees grow stronger after pruning and extends their life;

• Reducing energy costs with shade in the summer and as a partial wind barrier during the winter;

• Tree shaping can add symmetry, making the tree more visually appealing; and,

• Removing weak or diseased branches lessens the risk of getting hurt to family, friends; and neighbors.

Over a 50-year period, a homeowner may never cut down a tree but harvest its bounty. Let Embark Tree and Landscape Services nurture your trees starting with an online quote. Or call us at 713-462-3261.
