Discover the Benefits of Landscaping
Explore the Economic Benefits:
ˇA landscaped patio can raise the resale value of a property by 12.4%. (Source: Taylor, C. "Fertile Ground." Smart Money, Mar. 2003)
ˇA tree shading an outdoor air conditioning unit can increase its efficiency by 10%. (Source: U.S. Dept. of Energy, 1995)
ˇTrees shading homes can reduce attic temperatures as much as 40 degrees. (Source: "The Value of Landscaping," VA Cooperative Extension, Virginia Tech, 2001)
Understand the Environmental Benefits:
ˇOne tree is capable of removing 26 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually, which is equal to more than 10,000 miles of vehicle emissions. (Source: "Enhancing Our Environment Through Landscaping," Virginia Horticulture Cooperative Extension, 1996)
ˇProper landscaping reduces nitrate leaching from the soil into the water supply and reduces surface water runoff, keeping pollutants out of waterways and preventing septic system overload. (Source: "The Value of Landscaping," VA Cooperative Extension, Virginia Tech, 2001)
ˇHomes shielded by evergreen windbreaks can reduce winter heat loss and are generally warmer than homes without such protection. By using trees to modify temperatures and protect against the wind, the amount of fossil fuels used for cooling and heating is reduced. (Source: "The Value of Landscaping," VA Cooperative Extension, Virginia Tech, 2001)
Experience the Health Benefits:
ˇLandscaping is therapeutic as well as aesthetic. The beautiful sights and the peaceful sounds of a waterfall or the breeze rippling through the leaves of a tree are very relaxing. (Source: National Institute of Health, 2008)
ˇPeople that have an outside view of plants at the workplace experience less job pressure, fewer headaches, less ailments, and greater job satisfaction than those who have a view of man-made objects or no view at all. (Source: "The Value of Landscaping," VA Cooperative Extension, Virginia Tech, 2001)
ˇRestorative gardens offer an environment for people who are sick, injured, or under stress to recover. Such landscapes are used in hospices for the treatment of Alzheimer patients and in hospitals. A study showed that patients whose rooms overlooked vegetation recovered faster and required less pain medication than did patients without a natural view.
