A property owner can usually hire a contractor for half.thLs cost <br />because they do not have the overhead expenses, Medlin explained. <br />Medlin also said property owners are often not aware they are <br />responsible for controlling the vegetation within the right -of -way abutting <br />their property. Maintenance is especially important near an intersection <br />where uncontrolled vegetation can result in a traffic hazard. <br />Call the maintenance division at 683 -6812 for more information. <br />
