Why tackling invasives isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about protecting your investment, your health, and the local ecosystem.
If you’ve noticed unfamiliar plants creeping into your woods, taking over your garden beds, or wrapping themselves around trees, you’re likely dealing with invasive species. Ignoring them could cost you more than you think.
Invasive plants are aggressive, non-native species that outcompete local vegetation, degrade natural habitats, and disrupt the delicate balance of New Jersey’s ecosystems.
While they might seem harmless at first, their long-term effects on your property can be both expensive and damaging.
Your Property Value Takes a Hit
Overrun woods, tangled underbrush, and plant-choked views all reduce curb appeal and make outdoor spaces less usable. Buyers looking for a high-end home want a landscape that looks refined and is easy to maintain — not one that requires a machete to navigate.
At Cedarwood Landscaping, we’ve helped countless clients reclaim their overgrown land with brush cutting, forestry mulching, and thoughtful restoration that adds both beauty and value.
You’re Creating a Haven for Ticks and other Pests
Dense invasive growth creates the perfect conditions for ticks — especially those that carry debilitating Lyme disease — to thrive.
The overgrowth traps moisture and reduces airflow, which makes these areas a magnet for disease-carrying insects.
Keeping invasive species in check is one of the most natural and effective ways to reduce your property’s tick and rodent population.
Native Wildlife Is Being Pushed Out
As invasives take over, native plants disappear. With them, the birds, pollinators, and other wildlife that depend on them. This ripple effect leads to a noticeable drop in biodiversity and a less vibrant, less healthy environment.
Our restoration services at Cedarwood include native plant installation and wildlife habitat enhancement to bring balance back to your property.
The Problem Will Only Get Worse (and More Costly)
Invasive plants spread fast. The longer you wait, the more entrenched they become, and the more it costs to remove them.
Tackling the issue early with a targeted plan can save you thousands in the long run.
