Natural Security

Protecting a property, making sure it is safe and secure and keeping intruders out. That is the primary goal of security. As long as this goal is met, then a security system passes its most intrinsic function.

With this perspective in mind, it becomes clear that a security system can take many different forms. One of the most effective being the use of nature.

An example of this natural security is the placement of trees, hedges and other large forms of vegetation. This is best considered when constructing the property as the vegetation will need time to grow. But despite this, using trees as a sort of strategic wall, securing a perimeter around a building can be a deceptive form of cover.

It’s no coincidence that foliage has been used like this in the past. Before construction techniques evolved and allowed the creation of perimeter fences, hedges, trees and stone walls were used as defence from intruders.
