When you take ownership of a new residential property, you want to make it your own. You have a vision of your landscaping and want to choose the suitable shrubs, perennials, and, most importantly, the suitable trees to increase your property value.

Planting trees is always a good idea! They provide so many benefits, from cooling shade fruit, nurturing wildlife habitat, and, of course, stunning beauty. They’re crucial for the planet, and according to Treepeople.org, planting three trees around one single-family home cuts summer energy needs by up to 50%.

Creating a beautiful, sustainable yard has always been a top priority for homeowners. At Pelfrey Tree Company, we help people transform their yards into breathtaking landscapes that beautify their homes and build home equity. As tree experts with years of experience as certified arborists, we’re here to help you choose the best trees for your yard.

Trees Increase Property Value

When it comes to boosting property value, nothing beats trees. They add incredible beauty, curb appeal, privacy, shade, and lower energy costs. But it’s crucial to select the ideal trees for your property size and the benefits you want them to provide as they mature. If you think strategically now, you’ll reap the benefits for decades.

Tree Types by Benefit

Small yards need trees that won’t grow too large and overwhelm the main housing structure or tear up the yard with giant roots. Frought-resistant trees are ideal for areas with water rationing or limited watering opportunities. To enhance privacy, choose a fast-growing species.

Fruit-bearing trees offer delight and food for many years and are perfect for large backyards. If there are no trees on the property, consider a large shade tree to cut energy costs. To kick curb appeal up a notch, choose a smaller, flowering, or ornamental tree for a dramatic impact.

Buying High-Quality Trees

No matter which type of tree you buy, make sure it’s the highest quality from a reputable nursery. These suppliers have built their reputations on providing healthy, disease-free specimens to their clients.

When considering your tree selections, choose solid and well-branched specimens with an extensive, well-developed root system and healthy foliage. Don’t be shy about asking for guidance from nursery specialists.

Tips for Choosing the Best Trees for Your Yard

Think Long-Term

The tree’s shape and size will change dramatically over the next 5-10 years. Make sure it will complement your yard as it grows.

Choose Well for Small Lots

If your yard space is small, you must get a tree species with non-invasive roots to avoid infrastructure issues later.

 Allergy-Friendly Trees

If allergies concern your family, opt for fruit or flowering trees that produce less pollen.

Be Strategic with Narrow Spaces

Columnar trees are perfect for narrow areas at the side of a house or short backyards.

Windbreak Trees

For high-wind areas, choose robust trees with a broad canopy for a windbreak effect that protects your home from damage.

For Bee-Friendly Backyards

Help support local pollinators by choosing flowering trees that nurture bees, enhancing biodiversity.

Conclusion

Selecting the best trees for your yard can increase property value, provide targeted benefits, and create a visually stunning landscape. Incorporate a diverse range of tree species tailored to your needs and enjoy the long-lasting beauty and environmental advantages they bring to your outdoor space.
