Benefits of Trees on Your Property

If you are thinking about adding trees to your property, we couldn’t be happier. There are so many benefits to trees that we want our clients to be aware of:

• Improve curb appeal and create a welcoming first impression
• Increase the value of your home
• Make a newer property look more mature
• Provide shade and breeze in the heat of summer
• Create a natural windscreen in colder weather
• Give privacy from neighbors and roadways
• Bestow a peaceful, tranquil outdoor environment
• Provide a sanctuary for birds
• Attract other desirable wildlife, like butterflies
• Offer visual interest to your property and garden with texture, height, and color
• Give year-round greenery or seasonal change with leaves and flowers
• Separate zones of the yard by activity
• Screen off less visually appealing property elements, like utilities
• Prevent soil erosion and excess water runoff
• Reduce cost and maintenance associated with smaller plantings
• Provide fruit and food
• Balance your carbon footprint for the environment
• Fight climate change and clean the air

We often find that once our clients have experienced life with a yard full of trees, they crave more and work to foster their success.

Our Services for Planting Trees

Gosnell Tree & Landscape offers a range of services when it comes to planting trees. We perform large and small tree installation, depending on the customer’s unique needs. You may wish to have a row of small trees planted so you can watch them grow over the years. Or you may want larger, fully grown trees installed to give an instant mature look to your landscaping. Maybe you even want to start an orchard of your own.

We not only help you select the best trees for your property, but we plant them as well. We have access to excavators and transport that make the job a breeze compared to doing it yourself. You’d be amazed at what a full-grown tree weighs, but we’ll make sure it is brought to your property and installed safely and healthily.

Sometimes, you may need a tree transplanted from one area of the property to another, such as if you’re doing a home addition or if a tree was planted too close to structures. We understand that trees can be like old friends, and whenever it’s possible to keep one on the property, we want to help you do that.

We can advise you if transplantation is feasible, and if so, shepherd the tree to its new home with all the care and expertise we put into every planting.

We also offer tree removal services. In the event it’s not possible to transplant or save an existing tree on your property, we can remove it for you. This occasionally happens when trees grow too large for a property and become unsafe or when transplanting simply isn’t possible. Also, certain species can become diseased. We recommend removing diseased trees before they fall on their own, which is a serious hazard, or before they spread the disease to other trees in the area.

Factors in Selecting Species for Your Tree Installation

While it’s tempting to go to a home store or nursery and buy the first tree that strikes your fancy, there are many more factors that should go into selecting the appropriate species for your tree installation. As tree experts, we love advising our clients about the right trees for their unique properties.

When we evaluate your property for a tree installation or transplant, we look at multiple factors, including:

• The local climate, including proximity to the ocean
• The size of the property
• The measurements of the area to hold the tree
• How large the tree will grow
• Other trees and landscaping already in place
• The soil quality and makeup
• The amount of natural water or manmade irrigation available
• The amount of sun the area receives
• The depth we can excavate to accommodate larger trees
• Nearby structures and piping that could be affected by roots and branches
• Local pests and common tree problems
• Your goals for planting a tree
• Your realistic ability to care for the tree as it grows
