Environmental Benefits of Landscaping
- Grass, trees and plants reduce soil erosion-a major cause of water pollution by pesticides, fertilizers and sediment.
- One tree removes 26 pounds of carbon dioxide from the air every year and it can produce enough oxygen for a family of four to live on-about 13 pounds annually.
- Plants, trees and grass fight pollution and provide storm water control and shelter for wildlife.
- Shrubs, turf and trees reduce noise pollution by up to 50%.
- Proper selection and placement of plant material can lower heating and cooling costs by as much as 20%.
- Trees absorb as much as 85% of the sun's direct heat.
- Eight average front lawns have the cooling effect of 70 tons of air conditioning.
- Trees can reduce power demand by as much as 59%.
- Temperatures around grassy areas are about 25 degrees cooler than around dead grass or concrete "heat islands."
- One large tree can absorb as much heat as several window air conditioners and can lower temperatures by 10 degrees.
- Healthy turf is a strong asset in fire prevention.
