Enviroscaping

Enviroscaping is a way to beautify your home's surroundings as well as an eco friendly way to save energy and enhance the surrounding ecosystems.

Enviroscaping can cut summer and winter energy costs:

• protecting your home from winter wind and summer sun
• reducing the consumption of water, pesticides, and fuel for landscaping and maintenance
• helping to control noise and air pollution

Your enviroscaping plan should include:

• deciduous and evergreen trees
• shrubs and ground covers

These can help improve the energy-efficiency of your landscape as well. Planting shrubs, bushes, and vines next to your home creates a dead air space that insulates your home in both winter and summer. Groundcover plants will shade the soil and pavement around your home, reducing radiation and cooling air before it reaches your home.
