Why did the county cut my trees or flowers at the edge of the road?

The county tries to keep the shoulders of the road mowed for safety reasons.  Mowing increases the visibility when driving on a narrow roadway or pulling out of intersections.  

Trees and bushes may be trimmed or removed from the right-of-ways that interfere with drainage and/or safety to the traveling public. Sometimes there may be a need for additional clearance from the edge of pavement to allow for mirrors on heavy-duty trucks and school buses.
