Keep Cool with Landscaping Ideas from Wizzy!
Summer's here and boy do we have some ideas to help keep your cooling costs down- while also making your yard the 'coolest' place to be in your neighborhood!
1. Did you know by planting trees or shrubs around your AC unit (while not blocking the airflow of course!) will keep your electricity bill lower? Units that operate in the shade use less electricity then ones that sit in the sun all day.
2. Do you love the outdoors, but hate the heat of the sun in the summertime? Wizzy can design and install a pergola, arbour, or gazebo, and expand your outdoor living space while keeping you cool! How about a big beautiful tree for instant living shade?
3. Having Wizzy install trees on the south & west sides of your home, it will keep your house cooler in the summer months. Our expert tree division can install or relocate trees around your home correctly, more importantly-safely! (and save you hundreds in annual cooling costs!)
Wizzy fact-did you know during the summer, daytime temperatures can be 3 to 6 degrees cooler in tree shaded areas? Wizzy has trees of all sizes and varieties to fit you and your yards needs grown right here in Wizzy's backyard!
4. Ask us to shield the outside of your home from the heat of the sun with a beautiful trellis vine or planting. By shading windows, or even the whole side of your home, will keep the inside temperature of your home-and your wallet, a little more comfortable. Come visit our beautiful Garden Center and take a golf cart tour of our huge variety of plants, trees, flowers & more!
5. Wizzy says avoid Landscaping with lots of cement, asphalt or unshaded rock on the south & west sides of your home as this will increase the temperature around the house, radiating heat to the house long after the sun has set.
