Home Windbreak and Shade



This house has a large porch and large windows in front which are shaded by two medium sized trees. During winter these deciduous trees will loose their leaves allowing the sun to warm the house and reduce heating bills. The large tree in the back provides shade for the lawn so the homeowner can be outside longer. The small shrubs in the yard will grow and become an effective noise break and view screen against traffic on the road.
