Crime Prevention Tip

 Use Plants and Trees 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.
Use the 2 foot to 6 foot Rule when pruning or trimming vegetation:No objects or vegetation should be higher than 2 feet and all tree tops should be pruned no lower than 6 feet. This provides a clear line of sight onto your property.
 
Always consider a plant or tree size at it's 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.
