We have a new (2 month old) Maytag Neptune dryer that is vented

the ground is covered with a very noticeable thin mat of lint around
the vent.

Is this normal to happen after such a short period of time?

We just got a new set of towels and has caused a similar thing. It really
lined the vent hose too. It's gotta go somewhere!
