This unprofessional look tarnishes the reputation of many businesses here in Florida.

Risks of Uncontrolled Vegetation
Unkempt vegetation near your building not only creates a visually unattractive environment that could potentially hamper brand reputation, but it also has many risk factors.
- Pest-friendly environments: Pests such as rodents, birds, and insects thrive in areas with weeds and uncontrolled vegetation. It creates the perfect breeding ground for a pest infestation โ the last thing your business needs.
- Dangerous safety hazards: Overgrown and untamed vegetation increases the risk of fires and creates slip, trip, and fall hazards. Certain poisonous plants can also pose health risks when humans come in contact with them.
- Obstruction of security equipment: Overgrown vegetation can block or cover security fencing, cameras, and access points, jeopardizing the safety of your premises.
