The Benefits of Tree Care and Maintenance

For a species whose existence and survival benefits almost every other living organism in the environment, plants, and more specifically trees need to be cared for accordingly. From their aesthetic value, financial safety, and health gains, here is a breakdown of crucial reasons why you must look after the trees.

Clean water and air

A good percentage of the water flowing through taps is known to originate from natural rain forests. And considering water is life, its source (read trees), therefore is responsible for the survival of over around 60 million South Africans. On the same note, the trees protect mother earth by eliminating pollution from the air, water, and soil. This results in adequate supply of clean and fresh air for you and your family.

You may never have to install air conditioners, which are known to consume a lot of energy. According to statistics, trees help South Africans save $2.1 billion every year in heating and cooling costs. This is money that can be channelled into more urgent issues.

Prevent damages and other risks

Caring for trees usually involves trimming, pruning, and tree felling too. Trimming and pruning removes the large branches that are likely to crack and fall on people and property. It also helps to control growth thus avoid cases of tree branches growing into power lines and cause electricity failure. As for tree felling, it is mainly applied on old trees, infected trees and those that have been struck by lightning. You cut them down to give others a chance to grow. Plus, it could also just be for purposes of clearing an area for construction.

The cut trees can serve many purposes that may fetch as much as $100,000. It all depends on maturity of the tree and its market value.

Below the ground, proper tree maintenance will prevent the roots from growing into the sewage system and cause leakages.
