As the source of life and energy, the sun has played a vital role in the development of civilization, namely agriculture. In conventional farming, while various factors can be managed -- pest and disease, fertilizers, even genetics -- the amount of sunlight is outside the realm of human control. The number of sunny days is known to greatly influence the quantity and quality of the year's harvest. For centuries, especially in ancient civilizations, people have respected and worshipped the sun, as the arbiter of the Earth's organisms. During the past few decades, however, companies as Sun System and Hortilux have developed to mimic the photosynthetic power of the sun through synthetic illumination.

Sloping ensures that there is proper drainage, and it can make the house look better while allowing for easier maintenance.Whether you want to have a garden, a lawn, or a terrace, you must do your grading first. The best time to grade is when a home is being constructed, since it is relatively simple to add a few inches between the entrance level and the ground level at this point. Just a few inches can ease the creation of a grade away from the house to improve its appearance and make for a drier basement, if you have one.It is difficult to measure a grade by eye.
