Did you pay too much to cool your house this summer?Planting a tree can help!

Planting deciduous trees – trees that drop their leaves in the fall – on the west and east sides of your house will provide the greatest energy savings by blocking the morning and afternoon sun in the summer and letting the sunlight warm your home in the winter.

Trees planted to shade driveways, patios, sidewalks, and streets will help create a cooler environment around the home. Trees do this by shading the concrete from and through transpiration, a natural evaporative cooler. Reducing cooling costs also reduces the peak demand for electricity in summer months, helping to reduce the need for new power plants and keeping electricity costs down.
