Your landscaping can help lower your heating costs! 🌳✨
Known as windbreaks – dense evergreen trees or shrubs planted on the north and northwest sides of a home – can reduce wind by up to 50%, prevent snow drifts, and even lower heating costs according to the Department of Energy. 🌬️❄️
As you view homes or think of ways to improve your new purchase, take note of:
🌲 Existing trees and shrubs that act as natural windbreaks.
🌲 Opportunities to add landscaping for energy savings later.
🌲 A mix of trees, bushes, and shrubs, in staggered rows for maximum impact.
A well-landscaped property isn’t just beautiful – it can save you money and boost comfort year-round! 🌿🏠
