Home Security: Installing the Right System

When I bought my first home, the first thing that I did was install a new security system. That meant comparing quite a few residential alarm systems until I found the one with the features I really wanted. Five years later, I'm still happy with my choice. In my case, certain features were especially important. The ability to access the system remotely was a big plus. Since I live alone, a system that I could use to summon help if I became ill or sustained a nasty fall also mattered. If you are thinking of installing a new system, let me provide some food for thought. By deciding what features you really need, it will be easier to focus on systems that are worth your time and your money.

Need Color And Lush Greenery In Your Yard? Get These Great Tress, Shrubs, And Flowers That Are Easy To Maintain

Adding color to your yard with trees, bushes, and shrubs is easy to do; you don't have to get high-maintenance flowers that cost a fortune and that are hard to take care of. High-end plants can be a pain, but instead, you can invest in planting greenery that is vibrant and hassle-free. Here are some of the options you should talk about with your local greenhouses or nurseries. Find out what they have, what they can order, and what will be the best for your home.

Lilacs

You can get lilacs in bright purple, blue, white, and pink, and not only will they provide some color to the yard in either high low location, but they can also be very fragrant. These are ideal because you add color in different heights or areas, and you can choose between a lilac bush or a lilac tree. If the plants are too fragrant for your liking, don't put them right next to the house.

Sea Buckhorn Shrubs

The sea buckhorn shrubs will add some greenery to the property and then be complemented with orange berries. The vibrant orange berries are beautiful and eye-catching, and the shrubs are hearty. If you like the way these shrubs look but don't want orange berries all over the walkway up to the home, be sure to plant in an area the accommodate.

Daffodils

Daffodils are wildflowers that will return year after year once they are planted. They require little to no maintenance at all. The only time you may consider watering is if there is an extreme drought. You can get ones that bloom more than once throughout the year, and they are easy to put all throughout the yard and in low or high areas of sunlight.

If you are desperate to get some color in your yard but you don't want to spend hours of your time pruning, monitoring, and making sure that the plants are going to look their best, get some low-maintenance greenery options like the ones listed up. Wandering around your local nurseries is another way that you can get ideas for colorful plants that you love and find ideas for your space. If you aren't sure what foliage will thrive where you live, you may want to work with a landscape design professional to learn more about what you can use and to get a great design for your property.
