Life can get busy, especially during the seasons that promote healthy growth in your yard. However, it’s easy to lose track of your yard if you’re venturing out to enjoy some of that beautiful weather in the community. It may be just a slight glimpse that brings you to an awareness that your outdoor areas have turned into a jungle.

That said, here are three signs it’s time to give your yard a bit of attention.

Tree Branches are Blocking Your View

While lots of growth in your trees can be exciting, unmanaged growth can affect the health of the trees while posing decor and safety problems. Tree pruning is helpful for keeping your yard looking more attractive and less like a jungle. It’s also important for stimulating additional limb growth, especially if you’re dealing with shade or fruit trees. Overgrowth can be a problem if it begins to come close to your power lines, creating a risk of fire or power outages.

In some cases, tree pruning can be accomplished during your spare time. However, you may want to enlist professional help if your trees are more that 12 to 15 feet in height. With older and taller trees, the need for a ladder and a chainsaw could present physical challenges, making it important to proceed with caution. If you’re unsure of how to correctly trim your trees, you may want to work with a professional who understands the timing and methods needed based on the types of trees in your yard. Whether you’re subject to strict yard management guidelines because of a homeowners’ association or simply trying to restore order to your exterior decor, a tree service can help if your foliage is out of control.

Pets are Playing Hide and Seek in the Grass

A freshly mowed lawn can be a lovely sight, but it’s easy to dismiss the need to mow if you’re tired or busy. Before you know it, your cat and dog may be playing chase in the tall grasses that appear more jungle-like and less manicured. While you may want to handle your own yard care, a professional service can be a great approach to keeping jungle conditions at bay, allowing you to have regularly scheduled and reliable attention to the area when you’re too tired to try.

You Need a Nature Guide for Identifying New Weeds

While dandelions can be a pleasant surprise for a child, offering the memorable experience of blowing and watching the fluff fly away, one dandelion can lead to many more. Even worse, unidentifiable weeds could pose risks to children or pets. Keeping your yard’s weeds in check can become burdensome, especially if you allow them to grow beyond the point of easy pulling. A lawn overgrown with weeds can be unattractive, making it important to be proactive in tending to them before they reach jungle status. Additionally, prevention and quick removal of weeds may be important for those who suffer from allergies.
