Did You Know Your Spring Landscaping and Housework Can Help Protect Your Home?

Keeping your home and family safe is extremely important. The last thing you want to worry about is someone breaking into your home and taking valuables or injuring someone. It is understandable that you want to take every precaution possible to protect your family and home. Thankfully, there are some steps that you can take this spring while working on your landscaping that may actually improve your home’s security.

Not sure how landscaping can help protect your home? Keep reading for four ways you can improve your home security!

  1. Keep bushes trimmed back from windows and doors
  2. The first thing you can do when starting on your spring landscaping projects is to trim back bushes and shrubs from your doors and windows. Essentially any point of entry should be clear of overgrowth that would allow a burglar to hide out while trying to break into your home.

  3. Consider planting prickly bushes or plants near points of entry
  4. If you are considering doing some new landscaping this spring, one point to consider is what you plant around doors and windows. If you want to deter someone from entering your home through a window, planting a rose bush or other prickly bush near it can deter a burglar from trying to gain entry there.

  5. Light it up with motion sensor lights
  6. Another great spring landscaping tip is to light up your outdoors with motion sensor lights! As you are cleaning the gutters and doing other spring cleanup, simply install some motion sensor lights around the property. This is easy to do and is a relatively cheap way to add another element of security to your home.

  7. Keep your landscaping and lawn well-maintained
  8. Burglars are trained to be on the lookout for homes where families are out of town. If you plan a two-week summer vacation and leave your lawn to grow unruly, it might cause a burglar to take a second look at your home. That’s why you should hire someone or ask a family member or neighbor to mow your lawn to make it look well-maintained while you are away.
