Too bad that the person who planted the trees didn't place them far enough away from the windows, that way you'd still have the effect of the trees reducing the wind, without being too close to the house.<BR/><BR/>Even large trees planted in the parkways act as a wind barrier, or provide much needed shade from the hot summer sun.Sweet Home and Garden Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026451200405491815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-56885096425993177052007-02-22T12:11:00.000-06:002007-02-22T12:11:00.000-06:00Carol I was just thinking about your post last nig...Carol I was just thinking about your post last night as the wind was howling and rattling my bedroom windows.<BR/><BR/>My neighbors had two large trees planted way to close to the house.

Since then there isn't much of a barrier for wind and I'm beginning to miss those poorly planed trees.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.com
