One common mistake that homeowners make is to take an “inside only” view of home security. However, as you’ll learn in future posts, security starts outside the home. In fact, in many ways, the outside security factors and contributors are of more importance than internal security features—because what is outside the home is what helps a burglar to choose its target and gain entrance into it.
Too often homeowners create beautiful landscapes and bushes and use them to create pretty and private homes and gardens. What this does in the meantime is creates an ideal target for a home invader because they, too, can capitalize on that privacy. There is a definite limit to the value of privacy in this case, and so you want to think about how your landscaping could be contributing to the insecurity of your home. It’s not that you cannot enjoy any privacy or beauty in your landscaped yard and garden, but there are definite ways to do this that increase the security of that privacy and beauty.
