Landscaping tips


Wednesday, June 20, 2007

  • Trees that lose their leaves in the fall (i.e., deciduous) are the most

    effective at reducing heating and cooling energy costs. When selectively placed

    around a house, they provide excellent protection from the summer sun but

    permit winter sunlight to reach and warm your house. The height, growth rate,

    branch spread, and shape are all factors to consider in choosing a tree.

  • Vines provide shading and cooling. Grown on trellises, vines can shade windows

    or the whole side of a house.

  • Deflect winter winds by planting evergreen trees and shrubs on the north and

    west sides of your house; deflect summer winds by planting on the south and

    west sides of your house.
