A variety of shrubs surrounding a home can make the area beautiful. One lovely feature for many shrubs is they change colours throughout the year, and some have attractive berries or flowers.
Here are some other great reasons for adding some outdoor greenery:
Increase property value — A more attractive landscape will always increase the appraisal of any home.
Shade and Savings — Shrubs provide cool areas to congregate in your front or back gardens, and filter sunlight around the house, keeping both your home and air conditioning unit cooler in the warm summer months, thus lowering the hydro bill.
Protect Your Home — Shrubs provide protection against high winds and storms, preventing debris and dirt from striking glass windows and doors.
Peace and Privacy — A well-placed shrub can shield prying eyes and block/muffle street noise and other auditory disturbances.
Prevent Landscape Damage — The leaves and branches on shrubs help dissipate rainwater so a downpour can’t wash away soil. Their root systems help maintain the ground’s integrity, preventing it from shifting during heavy precipitation.
Help the Planet — Shrubs and greenery help the environment by cleaning the air, keeping the atmosphere clean, and providing an ecosystem for valuable insects and birds.
If you want better aesthetics or an eco-friendly way to save money, shrubs are a great addition to the landscape of any property.
