One effective strategy is to plant windbreaks, which are rows of trees or shrubs designed to reduce wind speed and protect the home. Evergreens like pines and cedars are particularly effective windbreaks due to their dense foliage and year-round coverage. Planting these trees on the windward side of the property creates a barrier that slows and redirects the wind.

Another important consideration is the placement and selection of trees. Avoid planting large, brittle trees near the house, as they are more likely to break or uproot during a windstorm. Instead, choose smaller, more flexible species known for their wind resistance, such as oak or hickory. Regularly pruning trees to remove dead or weak branches can reduce the risk of wind damage.

Ground cover plants and mulch can help stabilize soil and prevent erosion caused by high winds. Additionally, using gravel instead of mulch around the house can reduce the risk of flying debris during a windstorm.

Securing outdoor items, such as patio furniture, garden tools, and decorative elements, is essential to prevent them from becoming projectiles. Storing these items indoors or anchoring them firmly to the ground can significantly reduce the potential for damage.
