No Grass Clippings in Street

Left in the street, grass clippings and leaves not only are an eyesore, they clog storm drains which means rain water can’t drain away as fast as it should. Ultimately, it can cause water to back up in basements, cause flooding of our streets and increase maintenance costs. Because of our high water table and drainage concerns, this is a particular concern to Salix. In addition, when grass clippings remain in the street and get wet, they become slick and hazardous to pedestrians, drivers, cyclists and motorcycles.

When mowing your yard, please mow the first few paths near the street so that the grass clippings blow back into your yard and out of the streets.
