Trees are an Investment:

You can increase the value of your home up to 15 percent while reaping the benefits now. Take a look outside and see how you can create a living investment.

If you spend 5 percent of the value of your home on landscaping, and do it wisely, you might get 150 percent or more of your money back. And sometimes that number can go even higher. If your home’s landscaping is on the low-end for the area and you’re putting it on par with your neighbors, you could be looking at around a 15 percent rise in value. This is big money that can add to your equity. This is a very easy and often over looked investment.
