Shrubs in your yard can make it pretty and appealing, but that is only the case if they are well trimmed and maintained. If not, they can detract from the appearance of your home, and they can become hiding places for pests.
When planting bushes around your home, it is good to keep in mind the future. For example, if you plant bushes too close to your home, they will grow and eventually push up against your siding. This can lead to issues with pests, moisture damage, mold growth, and similar problems.
Another important thing to keep in mind is that bushes shouldn’t be allowed to grow in locations that will block access to essential components of your home, such as plumbing and electrical access points.
Dry, old bushes can also serve as fuel in case of a fire. Trimming your bushes to keep them from growing wildly, and removing old dead bushes can help keep your home safe in case of a wildfire.
