1. Increased Property Value

Strategic design and lighting can discourage crime by making it more difficult for criminals to access your home.

A good landscape design can boost curb appeal and add up to 20% to the value of your home.

2. Lower Energy Costs

Trees around the house can provide natural shade and insulation, helping you save money on air conditioning costs.

Trees can also block cold winter winds to help decrease heating costs.

3. Increased Functionality & Enjoyability

Using edible plants in landscaping can provide fruits, herbs, and vegetables for your family.

Landscaping can increase the size of your home by adding outdoor living space, help reduce noise pollution, and block unsightly views.
