Fall - A Great Time to Plants Trees
The American Nursery & Landscape Association (ANLA) released information about a study on the "Impact of Improved Landscape Quality and Tree Cover on the Price of Single-Family Homes" that was published in Horticulture Research Institute Journal of Environmental Horticulture.
The authors, Andrea Stigarll and Emmett Elam write that, "Approximately 30% of the increase in sale value was accounted for by added tree cover. The results show that each $1.00 invested in upgrading an average landscape to excellent quality returns $1.35 in added property value." While most homeowners know that landscape is a big draw for buyers, they are unsure of how much and what kinds of landscaping affect the property value.
The study reports that, "General tree cover adds 2 % to 9 % to the value of existing homes and 7 % for new construction on tree-covered lots." Just a single tree can add up to 2 % to the property value, according to the study. Hedges, walls, landscaped curbs, and dense vegetation can each add 2 % to 4% to the property value. And if your home has more trees than nearby homes, the value shoots up by about 7%. Sophisticated designs in landscape affect property value in a very positive way.
