At V.A.T Watering, we know how important tree maintenance is for creating a more sustainable world - because when trees grow, so do neighbourhoods, cities, and future generations.
Tree Survival and Growth
Newly planted trees need consistent watering for 1–3 years to establish strong roots. Without it, over 50% of street trees can die in the first 2 years.
Deep watering encourages roots to grow downwards, making trees more drought-resilient in the long run.
Environmental Impact
A single mature tree can absorb up to 150 kg of CO₂ per year and produce enough oxygen for two people.
Trees with proper watering and care grow faster and store more carbon, directly improving urban air quality.
Urban Cooling and Water Retention
Healthy, mature trees can cool their surroundings by 2–8°C through shade and evapotranspiration.
Well-watered trees reduce stormwater runoff by up to 60%, protecting drains and waterways.
Economic and Social Benefits
Street trees increase property values by 5–15% and encourage foot traffic in shopping areas.
Every $1 spent on tree maintenance returns $2–$5 in environmental and community benefits.
