Homeowner Tip!

Here is the first Homeowner tip of many more to come. Spring is here and all of your plants are blooming and shrubs etc are getting bushy. Please keep in mind that having these plants too close to your house can cause moisture problems and lead to mold growth. Keeping all vegetation 6 inches away from the house is a bare minimum. I always keep mine 12 inches away to allow plenty of air movement. Another common thing this time of year is to spread barkdust which is great if done correctly. Again, it is critical to maintain a minimum of 6 inches clear from the ground to siding or any wood contact. Following these tips will go a long way to preserving what will likely be your biggest investment. If you have any questions about this or any other home question please feel free to give me a call at 503.312.7708.
