Seattle Trim shrubs near sidewalks for safety
In Seattle, overgrown shrubs can pose significant safety hazards near sidewalks. When hedges and bushes extend into walkways, they obstruct pedestrian traffic, creating potential trip hazards and reducing visibility for both pedestrians and drivers. The solution? Regular trimming of shrubs to ensure they stay within their designated space. Not only does this enhance safety, but it also boosts your property’s curb appeal, maintains a healthy ecosystem, and reduces maintenance efforts in the long run.
