1. Trees Produce Oxygen: Everyone needs Oxygen to breathe. It’s no question why that’s important.
2. Trees Absorb Carbon Dioxide: We exhale Carbon Dioxide and Trees produce Oxygen. It’s a symbiotic relationship. Without each other there would be an imbalance in which the other would suffer or perish.
3. Trees Clean The Soil: They absorb chemicals and toxins from the soil in which they grow thus cleansing it like natural soil filters. This makes soil safer and healthier for other plants and animals to be around.
4. Trees Prevent Erosion: By planting trees in loose soil areas we can stabilize them and prevent water from storms and flooding from washing the soil away.
5. Trees Provide Shade: Everyone has at one point in their life went and stood or sat under a tree on a hot summer day. They also reduce Air Conditioning bills when planted around homes partially blocking them from full exposure to the sun.
6. Trees Are Sound Barriers: Trees help to aid in eliminating harsh noise in their environment like insulation or sound proofing materials.
7. Trees Make Good Fences Naturally: When planted close together or even in a hedge they provide privacy like a fence and grow larger all the time keeping out prying eyes.
8. Trees Protect Animals: Birds are often drawn to trees that provide a sense of security and safe haven for their nests. Plant spiny type trees like Hawthorn to keep birds around and larger animals like squirrels and raccoons out.
9. Trees Increase Property Value: It’s pretty safe to say that most people want a nice view of a landscape around their home to make it more pleasing to be around. This in turn helps to draw potential buyers to a home.
10. Planting A Tree Is A Rewarding Experience: By planting trees you learn more and more how they help the environment and grow. Also by planting trees you help to replace trees harvested for lumber and keep Oxygen levels up while keeping Carbon Dioxide Levels Down.
My wife and I have about 50 beautiful white pines along our back property line, and she wanted a privacy type tree line along the side of our property. So we planted probably 50 arborvitaes and thought, wow that looks good, But we didn’t know that deer just love to eat arborvitaes. Any ideas on how to keep the deer from eating our privacy fence?
This article really resonates with me as I am a tree lover. I have read that trees make your property healthy for children as well by cleaning the air and providing healthy nutrients in the soil and air. They do so much to enhance the beauty of your property – there are so many different types for different purposes – to give you fruits, provide shade, build a tree house in, climb for fun ( as long as you are careful) and they also compliment other fixtures you may featuring in your garden such as trellises, arbors, gazebos etc!!
I for one don’t know where we’d be without them!
Hi Rob, I’m can’t say with complete certainty what would be the best solution to your problem but I have heard that you can buy products such as wolf urine to scare off wild animals. By pouring some in areas around your home it will act as a deterent which other animals will avoid. I know it sounds rather disgusting and it is REAL urine. However, I have heard that these types of things to be effective and since its not a poison or chemical agent you need not worry about harming local wildlife. Hope this helps and sorry for the long response time. Thanks for reading.
