The Power of Shade Trees

Planting and maintaining desert trees to shade your home provides many benefits:

• Save as much as 20% in energy costs as the trees mature
• Increase the resale value of your property by as much as 15%
• Retain water and soil moisture and reduce the need for irrigation
• Prevent erosion and reduce runoff
• Provide habitat for native song birds and backyard pets
• Absorb and take up CO2 within the fiber of the tree
• Reduce CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants by cooling human environments with shade and through evapotranspiration of the leaves
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Bring people together, both through the planting of trees and the gathering around and under them
• Expand your daily living area into shaded outdoor areas
• Add beauty to your surroundings
