Economic Benefits

  Good landscaping increases community appeal:

Psychologist Rachel Kaplan found in a study that trees, well-landscaped grounds, and good places for taking walks to be among the most important factors considered when people chose a place to live.

Plants increase tourism:

Interior Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee found that guests would willingly pay an extra $30 per night for rooms overlooking their jungle-like landscape display.

Landscaping increases property value:

A 1991 study estimates that an attractive landscape increases the value of a home by an average of 7.5 per cent. The study also says that a well-landscaped house will sell five or six weeks before a house with a bland landscape.

 

Environmental Benefits

  Plants protect water quality:

Proper landscaping reduces the amount of nitrates that leak from the soil into the water supply. Plants also reduce surface water runoff, keeping other pollutants out of our waterways.

Landscaping reduces soil erosion:

A dense cover of plants and mulch holds soil in place, keeping sediment out of lakes, streams, storm drains, and roads. Landscaping can also reducing flooding, mudslides, and dust storms.

Plants improve air quality:

One tree can remove twenty-six pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually! Landscape plants, including shrubs and turf, remove smoke, dust, and other irritating pollutants from the air. One study showed that one-acre of trees has the ability to remove 13 tons of particles and gases annually.
