Natural Beauty vs. Hidden Dangers: Flowering Bushes & Foundation Settlement

Roof runoff right next to a foundation will cause settlement and moisture issues in due time. If you have some Lantanas planted there, they will look real nice though! It's a balance, every home is different. Goods and bad in every home. Route the water away from the home at least 6 feet and the next home inspector won't say anything about it. Keep it next to the home, and you could have mold and settlement on the abutting wall.
