The chart below shows how well nature's air conditioners work. It is based on results of tests of plants growing nearby at 84? F. air temperature. Surface Surface Cover Temperature (F?) Dark asphalt 124 Light asphalt 112 Concrete 108 Bare ground 100 Short grass (1-2") 104 Tall grass (3") 96 Concrete under maple shade 88 Walk in Comfort?All front walks for a home should be at least 42 inches wide. A narrower walk win prevent two people from walk ing side-by-side in comfort. A walk that is short in span may be six to eight feet in width, but a long walkway is better if as wide as five or six teet. One common problem is found in walks along the wall of a building (often found at churches). If such a walkway is located too near the wall -- say less than four feet -- usually a ground cover is the only plant material that should be planted in the narrow space. Buildings with large, massive walls call out" for upright shubbery to soften such walls. Bobbie Locklear.
