In Seattle, maintaining a clear space around your house foundation is essential for both aesthetic and functional reasons. Overgrown brush can trap moisture, attract pests, and decrease your home’s curb appeal. Thankfully, tackling this issue is straightforward. By clearing brush and keeping the area tidy, you can enhance the appearance of your property, improve safety, support eco-friendly practices, and reduce long-term maintenance needs.
