The heat of summer is on its way, and with it, some special concerns that you\u2019ll want to be aware of as you maintain (or improve) your vacant lands or sites.<\/p>\n
Owning a vacant land\/site doesn\u2019t usually require much work on your end, however, it\u2019s still important that you take proper steps to keep it in the best condition possible\u2014especially if you\u2019re planning to eventually develop or sell the property. With that in mind, here are some quick tips on how to care for your vacant land\/sites during the summer season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do some general landscaping:<\/strong><\/p>\n You don\u2019t need to do a complete land\/site improvement, but you should undertake some basic landscaping tasks to ensure that your land\/site doesn\u2019t get out of control during the warm months and that it\u2019s less prone to wildfires. This may include trimming your trees and bushes back, mowing\/spraying the grass, and possibly doing some strategic planting\u2014especially if you\u2019re concerned about boundary lines or potential trespassers.<\/p>\n Take on those weeds:<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking of landscaping to-dos, practicing routine, preventative weed control each summer is a whole lot easier than dealing with a major weed issue later on. Mowing and cutting will go a long way toward keeping weeds at bay. If you opt for a chemical spray control method such as herbicides, just be sure to choose a product that won\u2019t harm the surrounding plant life.<\/p>\n Keep pests under control:<\/strong><\/p>\n Vacant land isn\u2019t actually so vacant when you consider how many pests are calling it home. Most bugs and rodents are perfectly safe to have on your land\u2014and many are even quite beneficial\u2014however, you\u2019ll want to be aware if your property is experiencing excessive rates of not-so-great pests like rats or wood-boring insects. Bring in a professional if you\u2019re worried since they\u2019ll be able to source out any pest problems and direct you on your best next steps. However, keeping the land\/site well maintained will reduce the risks dramactialy.\u00a0<\/p>\n Check for water issues:<\/strong><\/p>\n Summer means rain, and rain could mean serious property damage if you\u2019re not paying attention. Keep an eye out for lingering drainage issues, such as large areas of standing water. Depending on the circumstances, these can lead to soil contamination, or they may speak to other, more extensive issues that you\u2019ll need to take care of.<\/p>\n Make improvements:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re planning on making improvements to your vacant land\/site, then summer is a great time to do it. Add in access roads or utility lines, do some of that aforementioned landscaping, and get to work on building any structure(s) (subject to planning) that you have in mind. You don\u2019t need to cram everything into one summer, but the warmer drier months are certainly worth taking advantage of since you won\u2019t have to be concerned about the frozen ground or excessive rain causing delays in your plans.<\/p>\n Just as summer is a great time to improve your vacant land\/site, it\u2019s also a great time to make a land\/site purchase. If you\u2019re thinking of buying the summer months is much better weather for touring, surveying, and making sure you get exactly what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/denisbarrett.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DAB_GENERAL_LOGO-1.png” title_text=”DAB_GENERAL_LOGO” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”] <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Call: +353 (0) 21 21 245 5310<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Email:\u00a0info@denisbarrett.com<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can also stay in touch via\u00a0LinkedIn,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0Twitter<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”]CONTACT US<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n
