Winter
You may be familiar with wind chill. If the outside temperature is 10˚F (-12˚C) and the wind speed is 20 miles per hour (32 kilometers per hour), the wind chill is -24˚F (-31˚ C). Trees, fences, or geographical features can be used as windbreaks to shield your house from the wind.
A study in South Dakota found that windbreaks to the north, west, and east of houses cut fuel consumption by an average of 40%. Houses with windbreaks placed only on the windward side (the side from which the wind is coming) averaged 25% less fuel consumption than similar but unprotected homes. If you live in a windy climate, your well-planned landscape can reduce your winter heating bills by approximately one-third.
Landscaping for a Cleaner Environment
Widespread tree planting and climate appropriate landscaping offer substantial environmental benefits. Trees and vegetation control erosion, protect water supplies, provide food, create habitat for wildlife, and clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
