Many commercial property owners and managers think of trees as attractive backdrops to their property, if not necessarily much more. But the benefits of trees can actually be enormously helpful to commercial properties, in a number of ways. Planting trees on your property is ultimately a great way to enhance the health and value of your property.
In a sense, trees act as natural air conditioners by cooling surrounding air and offering valuable shade for buildings. Aside from being aesthetically pleasant, and attractive to tenants and clients, these benefits of trees can actually reduce cooling costs for a property.

The larger the tree, the more effect it has on the surrounding landscape. Deep tree roots can filter pollutants from a property's soils, prevent soil erosion, protect a building's foundational integrity, help prevent severe flooding or water runoff, and work to keep more moisture on your lawns. With little maintenance, trees can be as useful as regular visits from a landscaper.
In addition to cooling surrounding air, another benefits of trees is that trees work to remove harmful odors and gases from the surrounding air. In the process, they also produce oxygen, keeping the surrounding air healthy and breathable. These benefits of trees are important, because individuals living and working in areas with more trees tend to have less lung and heart disease than those in areas with fewer trees.
Among the most overlooked benefits of trees is the substantial way they can increase a property's value. It is worth noting that locations with more trees consistently demonstrate both higher residential and commercial property values.
