The Value of Trees
Trees are a Valuable Resource
They provide both environmental and economic benefits. Each tree helps contribute to cleaner air, lower energy costs, greater protection of our soil and water supplies, reduced noise levels and a more serene, beautiful environment in which to live.
Trees are an Investment
They can add 20% to the value of your property.
Did you know...
- A larger root ball is taken when transplanting a tree. For example, a 2-½ inch caliper tree at a garden centre would normally weigh approximately 350 lbs. Planting the same tree with a truck mounted tree spade increases the weight to more than 1200 lbs. As a result, more roots stay with the transplanted tree.
- Less Stress. The tree is removed from the ground at the tree farm and planted at the new location on the same day.
- When access is not a problem, transplanting a tree with a truck mounted tree spade is a very clean and economical procedure.
- Most trees can be dug throughout the summer.
