What is the main focus of brush control?

The primary focus of brush control is to manage and control woody plants that can encroach upon and disrupt the health of grasslands or other managed landscapes. This process is crucial because brush can compete with desirable vegetation for resources such as sunlight, water, and nutrients, leading to decreased biodiversity and potential harm to turf and ornamental plants. Effectively controlling these woody plants helps maintain the integrity of the ecosystem, allowing for better growth of grasses and ornamental species. This practice often involves various techniques, including mechanical removal, herbicides, or other methods tailored to mitigate the presence of invasive or unwanted brush species while promoting a healthier balance in the environment.
