Spring is officially here and as the temperature gets warmer and the days get longer, Neighborhood Services sees an increase in calls of concern regarding neighborhood properties with tall grass and weeds.
"Tall Grass & Weeds” is defined as grass, weeds, bushes, vines, poison ivy, poison oak, or any other foreign growth, other than trees, ornamental shrubbery, flowers and garden vegetables. Tall weeds detract from the appearance of the neighborhood.
Neighbors are encouraged to report tall grass/weeds approaching 12 inches in height covering most of the lot. Neighbors have the option of offering to assist their neighbor with their yard, or they can contact Neighborhood Services for enforcement assistance.
Filing a Weed Complaint
