It's a well-known fact that landscape can SHADE. raise the property value of your home, but what other benefits are there to installing trees, shrubs, flowers and vines?

7 Plant life helps control peak temperatures and the rate in which the surrounding air cools down at night by providing shade and evapotranspiration. Through thermal imaging (Fig 1), researchers discovered increased temperatures in urban areas, more so than nearby rural areas. This is known as Urban Heat Island Effect , the warm urban temperatures are caused by the addition of concrete, buildings and asphalt. These impervious materials soak up heat during the day and re-release it when the sun goes down. Not only does this make for hot evenings, it can also cause more power use to keep your home cool at night.

8 Fig. 1 (ISA Impervious Surface Area). NO SINGLE PERSON CAN ALLEVIATE THE EFFECTS OF URBAN HEAT. ISLAND, BUT AS A COMMUNITY EACH PERSON PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE BY ADDING SHRUBS, VINES AND/OR TREES. A COMBINATION OF LIVING AND INERT MATER IS REQUIRED ON ALL LOTS;. SEE SECTION LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES : GROUNDCOVER. 1.
