CRIME PREVENTION TIP

 Use Plant Placement To Your Security Advantage
 
• Protect and defend vulnerable areas around your home. Place a thorny plant under a window or in front of a fence. (i.e., Rosebushes or Blackberry).
• Use plants to provide a clear border definition of controlled space. A two foot hedge around an unfenced yard will designate it as semi private and discourages entry.
 
Always consider a plant or trees size at maturity:


  • Will it interfere with visibility?
  • Big, bushy shrubs create hiding places and block views.
  • Will it interfere with lighting?
  • Trees are often planted next to light poles and, at maturity; the tree blocks the light, creating a shadowy or dark area.
