Landscaping has many benefits and one of them is that it enhances the value of your home. Not only is it a good way to stand out in the real estate world if you are planning on selling your home, it also adds a great deal of functionality to it.
Landscaping also decreases air pollution. It does so partly by offering shade which helps to reduce air temperature, and partly by reducing the rate of evaporation from rivers and lakes which in turn reduces the formation of ozone in urban areas.
Additionally, landscaping enhances energy regulation. It helps to reduce the amount of energy consumed because it removes the need for constant use of artificial heating/cooling and lighting systems.
Lastly, landscaping helps enhance the quality of water. Native plants absorb surplus water pollutants before it gets to rivers and streams, thereby preventing rivers and streams from getting contaminated and enhancing water quality.
