A well-designed landscape provides both energy effi ciency and curb appeal for your home. Use trees and plants to shade a window air conditioner. The shade can increase its effi ciency by 10 percent.
A well-placed tree or shrub can deliver eff ective shade, act as a windbreak, reduce your energy bills, and increase your property value!
