Overgrown shrubs blocking windows or walkways — New York, New York
Shrubs and hedges that have grown out of control block natural light, reduce curb appeal, create security risks by hiding entry points, and can damage siding or window frames through constant contact. Severe overgrowth also traps moisture against the house, encouraging mold and wood rot. A landscaper or tree service professional can reshape, prune, or remove overgrown plantings and establish a maintenance schedule to keep them under control.
