.8 million yearly on energy bills thanks to the abundant shade provided by large mature trees that were planted street side throughout the City of Atlanta. Another study, this one in Tucson, AZ, showed that the city saved an estimated $90,000 in rainwater runoff control due to the 500,000 plus mature mesquite trees that have been planted there. Studies have shown that we all feel happier, healthier, and more at peace when surrounded by greenery. That’s because trees provide noise control, fresh oxygen, and beautiful shade, all of which gives us peace, and tranquility. It’s just one of the reasons, we at Peer Landscaping of Fort Myers, FL, love what we do. After all, we get to play with green plants all day long! Trees have always provided humans with tranquil spaces that allow us to breathe easier and relax. One of the reasons for that is their noise reduction properties. A recent study conducted by North Carolina University showed that when they are properly placed, trees block street noise by as much as 40%. In The Experience of Place, author Tony Hiss’s book about Chicago’s public housing projects, he discovered that people who lived in housing projects that were surrounded by trees and green space had lower incidents of domestic violence, stronger relationships with neighbors and a healthier sense of community.
