There are a lot of benefits to clearing brush from your yard; it can make your property look larger and be more functional, as well as give you more accessibility. However, not everyone knows when it’s time to have their yard cleared and why it’s important. Here’s when you should invest in brush clearing.

3 Times You Should Have Brush Cleaning Done on Your Property

1. It’s Brush Fire Season

In Hawaii, the heat of the summer makes it an enjoyable time to plan a cookout; however, there is also a risk of brush fires. It’s important to clear your brush, especially around barbecue grills or fire pits where flames can get out of hand. You should also clear at least a 30-foot radius around your home to ensure no fires are sparked by vehicles or other machinery.

2. You Have Harmful, Invasive Plants on Your Property

Many plants, such as the pampas grass, glory bush, and fountain grass, grow quickly and are highly flammable. They compete with other plants for water and space, killing many native species, some of which are naturally fire-resistant. Hiring a brush clearing service to rid your landscape of these dangerous flora can help prevent a fire.

3. You See More Insects

Bugs, like ground termites, centipedes, and carpenter ants, frequently live in brush and other places where wood is decaying. Leaving brush in your yard for too long provides a perfect home for insects that you might not be fond of. If you start seeing an influx of insects on your landscape, it could be time to have brush clearing done on your property.
