Landscaping Can Be
Pleasing & Beautiful
Landscaping thr home can be one of the most pleasurable pastimes the homeowner can indulge in. A properly landscaped home is an objfct of beauty to be appreciated and enjoyed by family and neighbors alike.
Improper landscaping can create unquestionable ugliness and present many problems.
What ire the problems entailed by poor landscaping and how may proper landscaping be accompolished. Poor landscaping is most often the result of one of two'* practices. Either by planting improper species in improper locations, or planting too many trees ^ within a given area.
Planting improper species in improper places is most characterized by planting trees that will reach large proportions too close to the dwelling, and alongside of, or under overhead power lines. Such a tree will eventually cause damage to the house by causing broken fvindows, damaged, and leaking roofs as well as clogged and broken gutters. Limbs growing out over the house are the source of: this trouble.
The majority of trees planted under or alongside of power lines soon grow up into the lines or over top them causing trouble. As the trees grow older and brittle, a wind storm or snow and ice cause broken limbs to fall over the lines. If the wind breaks it, it is a danger to pedestrians and children. The very least it may do is cause 4 power interruption at a time when uninterrupted service is most needed.
Planting an over abundant number of trees in a given area tends to give the home a gloomy, shut in appearance. Proper numbers and spacing give that well tailored jappearanre that properly landscaped homes have.
