Plant Trees the Smart Way, The Green Way

Planting a tree in fall? Want to provide passive heating and cooling to your home?

-A basic rule is to plant evergreens on the north of your house, and deciduous trees on the south.

Here's why: In summer, the leaves on the deciduous trees shade the house. In winter they let the sun through to heat the house. Evergreens on the north deflect cold winds in the winter. It sounds simple, but it could save you some money, and make your property more desirable. For some more tips on tree planting, visit this site:
