To celebrate Earth Day this month and to respect one of the most utilized natural resources on earth, we are presenting this co-blogging article about the benefits of trees in residential areas and how they increase the value of the homes.

Everyone knows trees are valuable, but did you know you can actually calculate their specific added value to your property?

But they can block a desirable view, create a leafy mess, cause damage to the home from broken limbs, and roots can damage driveways or underground pipes. So, should you be planting more trees in your yard or paying for their removal?
