“Nature, a powerful force that can be far more destructive or productive
depending on contributing factors injected by Man.” LJW, 2007

Is it true that planting trees around my house can help save energy?

Yes, whether you use plant life such as trees, for beauty, shade and/or as windbreaks, it is the best way to get nature to help balance out nature.

DID YOU KNOW that Evergreens planted on the north side of your house will help in the winter months and planting medium sized trees
in front of large size trees on the southwest side will help in the summer.

DID YOU KNOW that push mowers are still made and sold? A push lawn mower doesn't have a motor which means:

No gas, No oil, No noise, and No Greenhouse contributor!
They also come with a cloth bag to catch the cut grass and
provide you with a great work-out!
