Dirt roads are only temporary. Grass/shrubs/trees will grow back over time.

If you want to completely eliminate plant growth there you need to build a paved road or construct a floor using something like rock blocks. Plants cannot grow on a constructed floor.

As for tree farms there isn't any way around shrubs. Just send in your herbalists from time to time and they will clear it out for you, allowing more tower caps to grow.

They regrow because dirt roads degrade over time. In this case, you just have to rebuild them.

It's treated as completely normal because this is Dwarf Fortress.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with a wall of flames, only to later realize that you're surrounded by a wall of flames.
There's nothing that can't be solved by hurling fifteen roc birds at it.
