Guard Dog Networks believes that home security goes beyond alarms and cameras. One often-overlooked aspect is landscaping! Here’s how a few thoughtful changes to your yard can bolster your home’s safety: Trimmed Hedges: Keep shrubs and bushes well-maintained to eliminate hiding spots for intruders. Strategic Lighting: Install motion-sensor lights to illuminate pathways and entrances, deterring unwanted visitors. Thorny Plants: Consider adding thorny shrubs near windows to create a natural barrier. Clear Sightlines: Remove overgrown plants that obstruct views, allowing you and your neighbors to spot suspicious activity. By combining landscaping with even a basic security system, you can create a safer environment for your home and loved ones.
