I have had 2 large shade trees on the West side of my home for more than 30 years. I get them trimmed professionally every 3rd year. Current costs is about $600. Because of these two trees, I have been able to live without air conditioning for that whole time. The cost of trimming trees can easily be recovered by the shade they provide in saving in electricity cost, not to mention I have enjoyed their beauty and the numerous birds that they attract who also make them their home.
