Garden and Landscaping Trim
Garden and landscaping trim includes the materials you use to edge your walkways and garden beds. This can be wood stumps and railroad ties, bricks, stones or even oyster shells.
Inspecting the garden and landscaping trim is a good idea since some of these materials can harbor insects that can move on to invade your home. Wood pieces are especially vulnerable to insect infestations. Bricks and other border materials that have shifted out of alignment can also be an early sign of a shifting foundation and bears further investigation.
