Potted Plants Protect Home
 

The potted plants in the picture above looks nice but could create a problem for someone pulling in a little too close and destroyed them.

These pots can also provide a little bit of safety for your home. If someone pulled in a little too close they would hit the potted plant before hitting the house. This might save you a little damage to the home but would leave you with a potted plant that is destroyed.

Whenever you have a driveway in a situation like this, it's not a bad idea to put something that could keep the car from rolling into the home.

Often you will see steel poles installed in the driveways or parking lots to protect the building from cars rolling in to them.
