As Atlanta home inspector, one of the things that I watch for while doing a home inspection is the security around the new home that I’m inspecting. I often write up that the owners need to trim the shrubbery away from your home. One of the reasons I write that up is for the actual home inspection part. But another reason I write that up is because it gives an intruder someplace to hide. If you have large shrubbery next to your doorways are across the front of your home, let me encourage you to go ahead and trim that back.
Another less expensive way to deter intruders is to invest in a few solar outdoor lighting sets and place them around your home. This gives you actual lighting at a very cheap cost and looks great in the process.
You may want to replace the standard outdoor light bulbs with motion detectors and doorway lights. Sometimes this will go off from the neighborhood dog, but in the long run, should give you a greater sense of security.
