| The trees is the issue that interests me. The information below, even though correct, I think it is very doubtful that too many trees will live long lives. They will most likely be planted by the developer, but am I correct in thinking that lots of people worry about ongoing problems with large trees in their yards ie plumbing costs roots in sewer lines and falling branches and therefore once the sale is complete the tree will be uprooted. Trees and other plants help cool the environment, making vegetation a simple and effective way to reduce urban heat islands.

Shaded surfaces, for example, may be 20 45°F (11 25°C) cooler than the peak temperatures of unshaded materials.1 Evapotranspiration, alone or in combination with shading, can help reduce peak summer temperatures by 2 9°F (1 5°C).2,3 | ||
