Trees and Shrubs—Properly arranged 
can control and improve your Private Climate 
A tree placed in exactly the right spot west of your house or 
terrace can shield you from the hot afternoon sun in summer, and 
still let you have all the afternoon sun there is in winter. In 
summer it will reduce your home temperature as much as 10 
degrees. 
A hedge, or a few trees, placed in the right spot can shield off 
the cold winter wind. Therefore it is possible for trees to cut 
your fuel bills. 
Trees not only give you cool shade, but actually manufacture 
coolness much as an air conditioning unit would. Leaves do not 
absorb the suns rays and radiate heat, but by the process of 
respiration give off tremendous amounts of moisture to cool the 
atmosphere. This is the reason cities are always warmer than 
the country. 
In the hot summer, shrub and foundation plants will greatly 
reduce heat radiation from the earth and make your home cor- 
respondingly cooler. 
Hedges, shrub plantings, and lawns act the same way. In 
winter this cooling effect of vegetation stops because the trees 
and shrubs are leafless and the grass and evergreens dormant. 
Evergreen Trimming and Spraying 
To maintain health and preserve symmetry your 
evergreen plantings should be trimmed once a year 
preferably during the winter or summer months. 
Spraying should be done as a preventive to avoid 
disease and infestation. 
Our experienced men are properly equipped and 
at your service.
