Boulevard mowing & weed control

Mowing and weed control are shared responsibilities.

Homeowners are responsible for grass and weeds:

In their own yards
On boulevards that face collector and residential streets
On resident-decorated boulevards

We cut grass and dandelions:

On medians and boulevards on regional routes
In athletic fields
In parks and greenspaces

We do this on a rotating basis from mid-May through mid-October.

Our mowing cycle is approximately 10-14 days. This means we will mow each surface around eight to 12 times in a season.

We use herbicides to control weeds on:

Medians and boulevards on regional routes
Ditches where grass has never been planted
Extended boulevards (those more than 20-feet-wide)

Buffer zone request

People opposed to herbicide use can request buffer zone around their property.

Submit your request in writing to:
