PLANTING TREES OR BUSHES
If you plant one, make it a specimen (unusual, perfect, etc.) If you plant two, make them the formal entrance to a walk, path, garden, etc. If you plant three or more, it'll work good for a grouping where people won't compare one to the next.

BUILDING AN ENERGY EFFICIENT HOUSE
When building an energy efficient house in the northern hemisphere, build it on the north side of a east/west street. Put the garage on the west end to break the wind(we live in the prevailing westerly winds). This will put your large front windows facing south.

LET GRAVITY BE YOUR FRIEND
Always park the truck above the project so that you can shovel downhill into the project. If you are loading a truck, park it on the downside of the project to ease the shoveling effort.
