Importance Of Using Landscaping Nantucket

By Shirley Turner


Every day people are changing the environment for their benefits. People go as far as changing the geographical appearance of land by either changing contours or planting trees, flowers and shrubs to make the piece of land more beautiful which in turn increases the value if the property or makes it more favorable for settlement. This is achieved through landscaping Nantucket, below are some benefits of landscaping

Minimizes air pollution. Air pollution is hazardous to the health of people, and the good thing is that there a couple of ways of controlling air pollution one of them is by landscaping. Planting trees help regulate air pollution because trees absorb carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. This raises the concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere and reduces carbon dioxide. The trees get rid of pollutants in the air. On the other hand, people and animals absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide

Higher potential value. A well catered for flower garden not only adds aesthetic value to your backyard but also adds value to your beautifully built house. If you have intentions to mortgage it or, rent it out shortly, buyers and agents will be greatly attracted to the beauty of your home and will fall in love with it.

Environmental value. Trees attract rainfall. Undercover vegetation like grass protects water bodies like dams, rivers and streams from pollution by preventing down the flow of pollutants and sediments into this water bodies when it rains. Trees also help regulate temperature one by absorbing heat making the surrounding cooler and by preventing the effects of the sun and harmful infrared rays from directly reaching the earth increasing comfort levels for people.

Reduce noise pollution. A sound is what we hear. The vibration of air molecules produces it on the other hand noise is sound we do not want to hear it. It could be high or low depending on the listener and circumstances. Landscaping reduces air pollution by creating a wall between the source of the noise and the audience. You have to note that for the trees to create a barrier, they should be planted near each other and should not leave gaps between them. Sounds produced by insects, the humming of birds, the swinging of branches and whistling of leaves creates a masking effect preventing you from hearing the noise.

Help cut energy costs. A beautiful flower garden in your backyard not only adds value to your home but also regulates cooling and heating effects in the surrounding. Heat from the sun is absorbed into your house through windows and roofs. In the case where the trees are in the compound, the absorption heat into the room is minimal because trees provide shade. The fresh wind produced by trees help cut cooling expenses in your house. Vegetation prevents harsh winter winds by trapping the winter sun. During the summer season, the trees trap heat making the surrounding cooler.

Creates habitat for wildlife. Trees act as a home for wild animals by providing favorable living condition and providing food in the form of trees barks roots and seeds. Having a flower garden at your backyard attracts wildlife bringing wildlife near you meaning you don't have to trek in search of wildlife. Birds are pollinators that will help maintain the growth of your flower garden which in turn adds more value to it.

Landscaping is not only appealing to the eye, but it is of more value than we could know. It helps to protect water catchment areas and protects the general environment providing good living conditions for both animals and human beings and also leaves your soils healthy.
