- Plant shrubs with thorns: Planting shrubs with thorns makes it more difficult for a burglar to hide in your yard and you can add even more protection by planting thorny bushes right under windows. Both Rose and Holly bushes are a great choice because they are both attractive and they can provide security.
- Avoid hiding spots: Burglars generally target homes with plenty of space to hide and windows and doors that are not highly visible. Avoid creating hiding spots by keeping shrubs and bushes trimmed low and by keeping your front door and windows clear of overgrown plants or trees.
- Use motion sensitive lighting: Motion sensitive lights can be a great security feature for a home. Install them near main areas such as the front door, garage, and first floor windows.
