Good Morning!
Summer is over, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to think about next year’s cooling costs.
Planting a shade tree can reduce the need for air conditioning between 7 and 40%. Trees also raise property value and provide other great benefits.
Best results come from planting them to the west and southwest of your home. Deciduous trees are probably your best bet, as they block sunlight in the summer but let it in during the chilly winter months. Landcapers say the fall and spring are the best times to plant.
