Trees offer a valuable privacy screen, whether they cover a see-through fence, open property line, or act as a shield from the view of others on higher ground. Many pool owners add trees for this very reason. They can also hide undesirable elements which may be within sight of a property which the homeowner doesn’t wish to see. They do so without the formality or expense of a wall and are a valuable shield for other issues, as well.

Noise, dust, and pollution

Trees filter noise and dust and can be planted as a windbreak in areas where the wind is problematic. Freeway noise, industrial noise, and other sounds can be tamped down by trees. Thousands of lovely tree leaves can muffle even the noise of a neighbor mowing their lawn.

Beauty and value

There is no wall, fence, break or barrier which offers more beauty than a natural stand of trees. They add value to a property, as well, giving it a mature, established look which buyers love. Imagine intending to purchase a property for your family. Will you choose a home with a lush, mature landscape, or one which is bare or has a few trees? The answer is almost always the property with established trees.
