Everyone loves a beautiful tree. They add shade, give your yard character, boost curb appeal, and — believe it or not — they can seriously increase your property value. But here’s the catch: that value only sticks around if you take care of them.
A healthy, mature tree can add anywhere from 3% to 15% to your home’s value, depending on the type, location, and how well it’s been maintained. A property that looks thoughtfully landscaped and mature just feels more established. Buyers notice. Appraisers notice. Even your neighbors notice.
Trees instantly make a space feel more welcoming, private, and lived in. Beyond appearances, trees offer practical perks too. A well placed tree can provide shade that lowers cooling costs in the summer. They create windbreaks that help with heating bills in the winter. They improve air quality, absorb noise pollution, and give wildlife a place to visit.
Yet, that value starts to drop fast the moment a tree starts to look overgrown, diseased, or dangerous. Things like overgrown limbs scraping rooftops, dead branches threatening to fall with every storm, or roots creeping way too close to your home’s foundation are liabilities for buyers and insurance companies
And even if you’re not planning to sell anytime soon, these issues can still impact your everyday safety and your home’s structure.
That’s why regular maintenance is a must. Our team has seen the good, the bad, and the seriously risky. We know how to spot the early warning signs — a hollow trunk, a sudden lean, fungus at the base — and we know how to fix problems before they turn into major expenses.
A well-maintained tree is an great asset, but a neglected one is a risk. Give Bergholz’s Tree Experts a call for tree trimming and removal services and we’ll make sure your trees are adding beauty, safety, and value to your property.
