It is getting to be that time of year again, that time when the heat begins to ease up (or at least so we hope!) and we begin to go back outside and spruce up our houses and yards.
This is a good time to review your landscaping plans with an eye toward security. Do you have shrubs in front of your ground floor windows? Shrubs and bushes provide great cover for someone to hide behind and take their time breaking into your windows. Make sure they are trimmed up so that no one can hide behind them or use them as cover.
Also, consider planting thorny bushes like roses, holly, hawthorn, etc. The vast majority of burglars are looking for an easy target. They do not want to get cut, scratched, pricked, etc., just trying to get into a house.
