There are a variety of reasons why the vegetation on your land might be overgrown at this point of summer. Perhaps you own a significant amount of land and can’t maintain all of it. Or you’ve been busy with other responsibilities and haven’t had the chance to handle the issue. Maybe the summer just got away from you.
Regardless of the reason, the best time to take care of overgrown vegetation is now, before it gets any worse. You don’t even have to do it yourself; you can hire a land-clearing service to do it for you. Ignoring the issue can create a whole host of problems. Here are just a few of them:
Fire Hazard
Often with late summer comes droughts. Vegetation will grow through the spring and early part of summer and eventually dry out, which can lead to fires that can spread quickly. Fires such as these have become more widespread over the past 20 years, meaning they are happening in places where they didn’t use to happen. During dry times, it’s especially worth it to clear your land.
Pest Problems
When your vegetation grows enough, some unwanted pests may start making their homes in it, leading to danger for you. Snakes and varmint can be an issue for obvious reasons. Burrowing rodents can create holes that make it dangerous to traverse your property. Ticks can carry dangerous diseases.
Appearance
There’s a certain pride that comes with owning property, no matter how big or small it is. You don’t want your neighbors to start to think of your land as an eye sore. But more than that, you want the satisfaction that comes with having beautiful, clean piece of land.
