5 ways to landscape your home for security


Low-tech and Mother Nature are good. Don’t obscure vision – keep doors/windows so you can see out. Keep hedges low enough so burglars can’t hide themselves/loot. Plant defensively – some plants for our local area include roses, of course, and also carrisa (cow thorn), cacti, and bougainvilleas, among others. Consult your local indi nursery (some like Green Thumb have weekly coupons)….big box store clerks don’t have extensive nursery training. Gravel on paths and under windows make footsteps more audible. More.
