Seattle Check fence lines for growth

In Seattle, overgrown vegetation along fence lines can quickly become an eyesore and a safety hazard. Not only does unchecked growth diminish your property’s curb appeal, but it can also lead to structural damage and pest infestations. The good news? Regularly checking and maintaining your fence lines is a simple solution that can enhance your home’s appearance, ensure safety, and promote eco-friendliness—all while being low-maintenance.
