Clearing weeds from your plot is important and should be done regularly.
Fire prevention
Dry grass and vegetation are highly flammable and can start or spread fires. Clearing reduces the fuel load and therefore the fire risk.
Safety
Tall vegetation can hide snakes, rodents and insects that pose a risk to people and pets.
Appearance and property value
A clean plot looks better, can increase the value of the property and is more pleasant for neighbours and visitors.
Legal obligation
Greek law requires owners to clear excess vegetation, especially before summer. Non-compliance can lead to fines.
Regular clearing also controls weeds and is a basic maintenance practice that keeps the environment and the people around it safe and healthy.
