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