Trees Add Value to your Home
-My mother sent this to me the other day. She knows me too well. It's from the National Home Gardening Club.
"It's always been hard to measure the "beauty" value a tree provides, but new research lets us put a dollar figure on the aesthetic value of home landscape trees.
In studies led by Professor Nate Perkins of the School of Landscape Architecture at the University of Guelph, Ontario, people valued a property with trees up to 15 percent higher than the same property without trees.
Researchers asked people to examine model houses with yards, and state what they were willing to pay for the house with no trees or with two red oaks planted between the sidewalk and the curb.
The average estimated value of the unlandscaped houses was $200,000. But the value of houses with two trees out front was as much as $230,000."
