With the winter months upon us, brush cutting may not be at the top of your mind. That might be something you don’t think of doing until the spring or early summer. But it’s something you should be considering right now if you own any land, especially if you happen to have a lot of space. Here are some reasons why it’s a good idea to do brush cutting in the winter:
Less Vegetation to Sort Through
Part of the reason winter is such a good time to do some clearing and cutting or brush is because summer is such a bad time to do so. Vegetation grows quickly during the springtime. If left unchecked, this growth can rapidly make your land crowded and difficult to navigate. The benefit of brush cutting in the winter is you won’t have to deal with all of that. With less dense vegetation, it’s easier to hoe, trim, and rake the land. Plus you’ll be less likely to disturb the soil or the lives of desirable plants in the winter months.
It’s Safer
The lack of dense vegetation present in the winter months makes it safer to complete brush cutting in the winter. You won’t encounter many mosquitos in the cold weather months. And without some place to hide, snakes and rodents will have a harder time sneaking up on you. Plus, you’re far less likely to have a run in with poison ivy this time of year.
Time Management
Depending on how big the land you’re dealing with is, this could be a time-consuming project. Naturally, you’re likely to run into a surprise issue that will throw your schedule off. Working in the winter allows you more time to be ready before spring begins. Plus, you’ll have piece of mind knowing that brush cutting work has been completed and mowing and planting will be much easier next spring.
