Why Trees? |
|
For more than a century, scientists at The Davey Tree Expert Company have recognized the environmental, communal, and economic importance of keeping trees healthy. That's why Davey scientists have been developing state-of-the-art technologies, materials, and tools to strengthen trees, keeping them healthier while naturally resisting pests and disease.
Benefits of healthy trees:
- Strategically placing trees around buildings and homes can reduce air conditioning costs by 30 percent and can save 20 percent to 50 percent in energy used for heating, while providing a natural habitat for wildlife.
- Healthy, mature trees add an average of 10 percent to the value of your property.
- Trees naturally absorb carbon dioxide created by our cars and mechanical emissions, while sending us oxygen in return. Cities across the country are investing in preserving and expanding their tree canopies to improve the air quality. Older, larger trees hold the greatest value for a community. A healthy 30-inch DBH (diameter breast height) tree removes 70 times more air pollution per year than a 3-inch tree.
