A well-planned home site can take advantage of landscaping to reduce energy use and be environmentally friendly. Trees Forever provided expert advice to properly locate trees, shrubs and ground cover to shade the PowerHouse Home in summer, take advantage of sunlight in winter and slow water run-off during heavy spring rains.

Garden Gate Landscaping provided further advice, plant material and a walkway to accomplish the plan some of which is currently installed and some of which the future homeowner can follow for additional plantings.
