Do Trees Really Increase Property Value? What Every Homeowner Should Know

It’s Not Just Landscaping—It’s an Investment

Whether you’re preparing to sell your home or simply looking to protect your long-term investment, well-maintained trees can have a measurable impact on property value. In fact, real estate studies have shown that mature, healthy trees can increase home values by as much as 10–15%.

At Northeastern Tree Service, we work with homeowners across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut to help their landscapes thrive—both visually and financially.

How Trees Add Value to Your Property

1. Curb Appeal

First impressions matter. A well-placed, symmetrical canopy or a beautiful flowering tree at the corner of your lot enhances the visual impact of your home at first glance.

2. Energy Efficiency

Shade trees reduce cooling costs by naturally lowering temperatures around your home. That translates to long-term savings and sustainability—two things buyers care about.

3. Mature Landscaping Advantage

Homebuyers often consider how long it would take to grow the landscape they see. Mature, properly cared-for trees save them time and future expense—making your listing more appealing.

4. Noise & Privacy Buffer

Trees help block road noise and create natural privacy barriers, especially in suburban or urban neighborhoods. This adds perceived (and actual) comfort to your property.

When Trees Can Hurt Value

Not all trees are assets—poorly maintained or hazardous trees can actually reduce property value. Common red flags include:

If you’re not sure about the health of your trees, our certified arborists provide detailed tree inspections and plant health care plans.

Maximize Value with Professional Tree Care

To get the most benefit from your landscape, consider:

1. Routine tree pruning to maintain shape and reduce hazards
2. Strategic tree removal of unhealthy or poorly placed specimens
3. Soil treatment, fertilization, and pest control via our PHC services
4. Safe and attractive stump removal through stump grinding

If you’re planning a new build or landscape update, our tree moving and planting services can help you create a long-term value plan for your yard.
