If your Monroe, OR property has a few weeds or some unsightly brush, it might not seem like a big deal. In reality, these rogue plants are a lot more than just eyesores, but a vegetation management plan can prevent them from causing harm. Along with well-maintained pest control, vegetation management services (VMS) helps keep your property safe, clear and ecologically sound. Here’s what you need to know about this important and underutilized service.
More Than Weed Exterminators: How VMS Works
Whether vegetation management services are used for a home or a commercial space, their purpose is the same. They preserve and protect native vegetation while removing unwanted plants such as weeds. A variety of techniques and materials help VMS professionals accomplish this task. For example, targeted ground spraying controls weeds near rock borders, driveways and walkways while leaving grass and trees unharmed. Application of growth regulators ensures the healthy and consistent appearance of lawns while minimizing overall maintenance. VMS professionals also offer aerial trimming, tree removal, emergency storm response, transmission site construction and more. When you keep weeds and unwanted plants under tight control, your outdoor space becomes safer and your property is stable.
Why VMS Is Necessary
Invasive weeds are usually non-native plants that can easily smother healthy lawns and native plants or otherwise compromise their health. Encouraging the growth of native plants helps stabilize the natural balance between plant life and environmental conditions such as weather and soil quality. Aesthetics and ecology aren’t the only concerns; noxious or poisonous weeds can cause illness, skin problems or even death in humans and animals. In addition, they can become a fire hazard and may even decrease property value. Without some form of VMS, plants-gone-wild can spell serious trouble.
