Among other possibilities, there is nothing better than planting a tree to mark or commemorate an event: the memory of a loved one, the birth of a baby, a graduation party, a housewarming party... The list is endless. The reasons for planting a tree are indeed extremely varied. At Emondage Sainte-Julie Pro, it's one of our favourite tasks!
A tree as a gift When the time comes to make a gift, very often ideas are missing. Isn't that right? We are under the impression that the recipient needs nothing special. He already has everything. Year after year, this puzzle repeats itself. Stop looking. Give him a tree. This one is durable and cleans the air. In addition, its symbolic value is priceless. As soon as your loved one lays eyes on it, he or she will think of you with a thoughtful smile on his or her face.
Offsetting greenhouse gas emissions In this era of climate crisis, more people are becoming concerned about polluting emissions. It is with a view to carbon offsetting that these people are using our tree-planting services.
Provide privacy or attractive conditions for birds Planting a tree can also meet practical needs. For example, casting the shade of trees on the ground creates a pleasant, intimate corner where it is good to rest. Birds also like trees, which provide them with a place of protection as well as a playground. So plant trees and they will brighten up the garden. Amateur ornithologists will be happy to hear their songs regularly or to observe them at will. The reasons for planting trees are vast. Here are some more.
Why plant trees?
The economic criterion
According to some studies, the sale price of properties with trees can be 15% higher than those without trees. On the other hand, properties with trees sell faster. It is therefore very likely that in the same situation you would be among those who would opt for a property with trees. It is therefore hardly surprising that when the land of a residence has trees, the transaction is generally concluded at a higher price.
Temperature control and air purification
Trees perform many functions that are beneficial to our health or even necessary for our survival. For example, who doesn't know that trees are producers of oxygen, the gas that is vital to us? That's for today. At night, they store carbon. So they perform a kind of air purification function. Trees are also nothing less than natural climate regulators! This is why, judiciously placed on your property, trees provide more than welcome cooling during the hot season, but they can also reduce your heating needs.
Calming factor
Who hasn't noticed the well-known soothing effect of trees? Is it their colour, their beauty, the shade they provide, the soft music of the wind rustling through their foliage, the scenery they help to camp in, or a little bit of all that? Who knows? In fact, some studies have shown that a window with a view of nature (gardens or wooded areas) in the hospital room promotes faster recovery than if there is no window.
Reduction of noise and erosion
Here are a few other important points: trees insulate against noise, serve as soundproofing along highways and their roots reduce soil erosion...
The education of children
When you have children, planting fruit trees is a wise decision because it offers a variety of educational opportunities. First of all, you will regularly have the chance to pick fresh fruit at the right time and enjoy it as a family around a table, in the presence of your children. The fruit trees will also be the subject of many discussions, particularly of an educational nature. All the more so as your children will be able to follow the evolution of the stages of fruit formation with their own eyes. As the years go by, we strongly suggest that you call upon our training pruning service in order to maximize fruit production. Cedar hedge trimming
