1. An automated process executable by a computing system that includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the automated process comprising:
providing an image of a first plant in a vicinity of an installation site for a satellite dish;
analyzing the image of the first plant to identify a type of the first plant;
generating a prediction of future growth of the first plant for a first time period; and
determining a first likelihood of the predicted future growth of the first plant interfering with signal strength received at the satellite dish within the first time period.
