Landscape Benefits

The Economic Value of Landscapes: Increased Property Value. Landscaping can raise the value of a home by 7.5 percent and can decrease its time on the market by 5-6weeks. Landscaping costs are fully recovered in most cases at the sale of the home and sometimes they are even doubled.

Landscape values increase over time as the landscapes fill in an mature.

Landscaping can reduce air conditioning costs. Turf Grass plants as well as trees that provide visible shade can reduce this energy demand, which translates into the reduced production of climate-altering emissions such as bad ozone, in addition to air conditioning costs.

A Lawn cut at 3.5 inches is cooler than a lawn cut at only 2 inches.

Commercial Areas: Landscaping improves worker productivity and attracts customers to business districts.

Maintained Landscapes in business areas send a "We Care" message to the customers, lower perceived job stress and improve worker productivity.

More customers will return to areas with well maintained landscapes.

Heath care facilities can benefit from well maintained landscapes. Landscaping enhances recreation and improves physical health.

Biophilia Hypothesis: humans are innately attracted to other living organisms.

Health benefits from just walking behind the mower or weeding the garden don't end there... it has been shown that just looking at a well maintained lawn can improve mental health.

Landscaping can help reduce soil erosion and help in areas like dust prevention, noise abatement, glare reduction, air pollution control and nuisance animal control.

Aspen just wanted to share the benefits that aren't obvious to homeowners and Property Managers about a well landscaped lawn.
