When you purchase a property, the lawn may have been left unattended for some time by the previous owner. You will be faced with an overgrown lawn, which will require time, patience, and technique in order to gain a desirable lawn that will make you the envy of all your neighbors. Overgrown lawns need to be addressed immediately, if not, you run the risk of the following happening.
Undesirable Appearance
Decreased curb appeal will make your property an eyesore. Overgrown lawns will trigger the attention of city workers, officials and neighbors. The result will be complaints filed against your property. Most cities require homeowners to maintain their property. When these requirements are not met, the homeowner faces fines from the city.
Difficulties Mowing
When weeks have passed since the lawn has been maintained, the extremely high grass will be to much stress on a lawn mower. The lawn will need to be cut in layers, normally with a trimmer and then the lawn can be mowed.
Excessive Grass Clippings
After your lawn is cut to an acceptable, their will be grass clippings. If these grass clippings are not bagged, the clumps of grass will block out the sunlight o the roots, affecting new growth, ultimately killing the grass. Frequent lawn maintenance reduces grass clippings developing into piles of grass. Grass is normally mulched into the ground during the Mowing process, where the clippings decompose and add nutrients to the soil.
Depreciation Of Property Value
when calculating the Value of a property, an appraiser will consider many factors to determine property value. The obvious would be neighborhood nuisances such as, you guessed it, overgrown lawns. Properties not maintained make surrounding properties difficult to sell, few people want to purchase a home next to an eyesore. Tall and thick grass is also a haven for rodents, snakes and other pest that can find their way into neighboring homes.
