With the weather becoming warmer and warmer, home security issues have been moved up to the agenda once again. In order to maximize home security and minimize risk, replace doors, locks or windows are not enough. In fact, landscaping choices and lighting play a big role in the overall safety of our home. Being awaring of this point, homeowners may consider a little further when trim their gardens.
Planting Defensive Shrubs
If you want to burglar-proof your home, remember to choose shrubs not only for the beauty they offer, but also for their defensive potential to enhance your personal safety. For example, you can plant thorny bushes under windows, over the fence and latticework. Using gravel stones under windows so that a loud crunching noise can be made to alert you when someone walks on them. In brief, try to make whatever you choose as uncomfortable as possible for criminals.
Trimming Bushes Regularly
Plants and trees help beautify your yard but also can provide burglars and prowlers places to hide or get access to your home. So, it is important to keep trees and bushes trimmed so you have clear lines of sight throughout your property. For tree planning, do not place the trees close enough to the home since they may grow taller than the second floor of your house which may be taken advantaged by the burglar to climb up and access through the second-floor window. Always makes your garden a well-kept one since an unkempt yard suggests to potential burglars that you’re careless or possible away from home.
If you still worry about your home security, install a TENVIS IP camera just in case since safety and security doesn’t happen by itself. It requires homeowners to consider thoroughly and take specific actions to that end.
