Maintaining the value of your home goes beyond taking care of your house. The property surrounding your house also holds value and if properly cared for can increase the value of your home. This is why caring for the land and what is growing on it is so important, especially if you have trees. Trees can add curb appeal and valuable shade to your property, they can also be the source of costly damage. Being able to identify if a tree can add value or end up costing you, can save you time and lots of money. In most cases a tree that needs maintenance or adds to the privacy and comfort of your property has long term value. Here are few things to look out for when you have trees on your property. 1. The most obvious thing to look for is healthy growth. If your tree doesn’t have anything growing from its branches during the spring to fall seasons this is a pretty sure sign that your tree is either dead or has some kind of disease. Taking a close look at the tree to see if there is any strange growth, unnatural holes or milled lines in its bark is a good way to identify if there is a bug or disease that has killed the tree. If this is the case, this disease will likely spread to a nearby tree resulting in more damage. If the damage seems minimal trimming back those areas and burning or properly removing the debris can be done on your own. But if the damage is wide spread or the tree is dead , the best thing to do is to hire a professional.
There are many reasons you might maintain property, either by taking pride in your yard or perhaps you do so professionally.
