TREE, SHRUB & FLOWER PLANTINGS
Why do most home owners work endlessly to landscape their homes? Because, it looks GREAT, of course! However, landscaping goes far beyond beautifying your lawn and home. Most people do not think of the added perks to a great landscape...
Have you ever thought about: Energy savings, house value, curb appeal, air purification or your overall health?
Energy Savings
Trees and shrubs are natural energy reducing solutions. In the summer time, they provide shade and absorb heat that would otherwise be cooking your home and beaming in your windows. In the winter, they drop their leaves and allow the sun through while breaking the harsh winter winds from blasting your house. Wouldn't you like to reduce your energy bills all year round? Over time, the money you spend on the proper landscape design would pay for itself.
Not only do they affect heating and cooling... What about light? What about sound? These too are both significant factors in a proper design and implication of landscaping. How often do you drive by a home that has a massive overgrown shrub blocking the entire front of the house? Sure it's completely keeping out the hot sun, but it's also keeping out natural lighting! With a proper design, you can achieve both while highlighting the details of your home and letting in the good light. Turn of your lights, open the curtains and enjoy the natural, energizing and FREE sun. Well, what about sound? Have you ever noticed the rows and rows of trees planted between a busy street and a neighborhood? It isn't just there for looks, it keeps out the heavy traffic sounds that are inevitable with the ever growing communities around the area. You don't need to create an evergreen fence, but with the proper application, you can certainly reduce the noise while keeping an attractive landscape.
house value
What are the absolute first things you see when you arrive at someones home? The house itself and the surrounding land. A great landscape compliments ANY building and adds value. Whether you are trying to sell your home or not, why not get started on your very own dreamscape. It will look better to you, your friends, family and neighbors or if you decide to sell 5, 10 even 15 years down the road you'll be well on your way to having the edge over your competition and you'll get a significant amount MORE for it.
curb appeal
Along the same lines as house value, wouldn't you like to be the eye catching house on the block? Curb appeal is what draws people's attention to YOUR house, which could be a winning factor if you're trying to sell. Think about it, people LOVE to look good. It's the same reason you dress up to go out, the same reason you go to the gym, the same reason you wash your car and the same reason pick up your lawn. Why not take it a step further and go above and beyond a tidy lawn and a clean landscape? Give yourself the head turning attention you deserve... Be the focal point of your cul-de-sac. In the difficult housing market we have these days, your first impression could carry you to a sale quicker than you think. Pair a great curb appeal with your increased house value with a breath taking landscape and you're in a win-win situation.
air purification & overall health
Plants are nature's filters... Plain and simple. They absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. So, do the world a favor and go green... Literally.
Not only can you breath easier as we restore natural health and beauty to the world, but the added health benifits of gardening itself can be satisfying. As you may already be aware, most plants don't take care of themselves (there are much less demanding options, however). If you want a 'do it yourself' type of garden and landscaping, it provides ample opportunity to get up and out of the house. It provides non-strenuous activity to keep your body moving and in shape. Afterall, energy fuels energy and getting up to take care of your plants may give you the extra boost you need to get the rest of your household chores done for the day. Not only that but it's peaceful, relaxing and gives you a great sense of success when you see your plants progress day by day.
