Prepare your<br />
home for winter<br />
Did you know that healthy trees can add<br />
up to 20% to the value of your property?<br />
You may not think about it<br />
that often – but the trees on<br />
your property are a lifetime<br />
investment.<br />
Carefully selected trees on your property<br />
provide more than beauty - they increase<br />
the value of your home. Several recent<br />
surveys have shown that mature trees in<br />
a well-landscaped garden can increase<br />
the value of a house by 7 per cent to<br />
19 per cent.<br />
Experts indicate that a well-maintained<br />
garden with mature trees can add<br />
thousands to a home’s value and speed up<br />
a house sale too.<br />
In addition to adding significant value<br />
at the point of sale, trees also serve very<br />
practical and functional (as well as<br />
aesthetic) purposes for homeowners. They<br />
frame beautiful, relaxing, and pleasant<br />
landscapes and help keep a house cooler<br />
and protected from destructive winds and<br />
weather.<br />
Many tree care companies simply chop,<br />
cut, and call the job done. However, after<br />
speaking with THE TREE PEOPLE, it<br />
quickly became apparent that they are<br />
different. Simply put, they know your<br />
home is your haven and will always ensure<br />
it is treated that way.<br />
Started by Ra and Megan Hammer in<br />
2004, THE TREE PEOPLE knew early on<br />
that their ethos and approach was going to<br />
be different. They never simply chop and<br />
cut, and instead pride themselves on the<br />
fact that they go against the grain of how<br />
many other arborists operate. They can<br />
help with any tree and pride themselves on<br />
being able to do so. They can remove large<br />
dangerous trees safely, look after the trees<br />
that you care about, transplant established<br />
trees with care and offer expert advice on<br />
all ‘things’ trees.<br />
Speaking with passion about what he<br />
does, chief tree hugger Ra Hammer shares,<br />
“We had some very clear goals when we<br />
started the business that we still ‘live by’<br />
today. It was important to us to preserve<br />
and maintain trees sustainably, to provide<br />
an environment that helps our customers<br />
to enjoy harmonious relationships with<br />
their trees, to offer excellent affordable tree<br />
care and to always adhere to best practice.<br />
I am proud to say that, 16 years later, we<br />
still live and breathe these goals”.<br />
To remove those dangerous trees,<br />
hard to reach over hanging branches<br />
and to add value to your property, call<br />
