BUSHES
 

• Don't place bushes close to windows or doors where someone could hide in or behind.
• Keep the landscape around the house simple and well trimmed.  Prune tree branches to a height of 1 meter (3 feet) above ground. Be especially critical of tall plants around doors and windows that might help conceal someone trying to break in. Keep areas around basement windows - a favorite target of burglars - as clear as possible.
