Be Kind To Your House and It Will Be Kind To You

Thanks Susan, we try to provide our clients with as many home maintenance tips as possible.

Bob and Carolin its funny to see how many people fail to understand that.

Terry, yes plants too close to the house will eventually cause damage. Glad to hear you have it under control.

Andrea, as a little kid growing up I was always amazed by how pretty the vines looked and how nicely they grew, I still am. It's a shame that they can cause so much destruction to the surfaces they attach themselves to. Sorry about your window.

John, this is so true. Sometimes it's a hard call, but in the end the possible structural damage must be the decisive factor.

Kate, I know what you mean. I have always found climbing vines to be very beautiful, but unfortunately they are as harmful as they are beautiful. Now that's not to say that one must go without, I plan to set up a really nice trellis to grow some vines next year. Away from my house. LOL.

That sounds so cool. Mine will be off the living room facing the river as the kitchen faces the rear side yard which is fenced off for the dogs. Check them out and you'll understand why we need a separate fenced off area for them. Boys Day Out
