Energy efficient landscape - Two Useful Facts Did you know that making the right choices makes an energy efficient landscape? Keeping in mind the functionality of planting both trees and shrubs can significantly reduce your energy bills year round. -Right tree, right place: Dense trees, like evergreens, help protect your home from winter winds and summer sun. Fast growing trees with wide spreading root systems should never be planted too near your home. Their roots can cause damage to your pipes and foundations and will eventually damage you roof as well. -Keeping your home energy efficient: Plant trees on your South and West sides of your home for natural home cooling during hot summer months. Well shaded yards provide reduced air conditioning costs significantly. Plant trees on the windy side or your home to block winter winds. During summer those breezes will pass through the trees canopy and provide cooler summer air to reach your home :)
