Mowing

To keep Sigourney beautiful and safe, residents must keep grass and weeds below the maximum allowed height of 6 inches. Regular mowing not only improves the appearance of neighborhoods but also helps prevent pests and reduces fire hazards. The city may issue warnings or fines if grass exceeds this height, so consistent upkeep is encouraged.

When mowing, please avoid leaving grass clippings in the street, as this can create hazards for drivers and clog storm drains, leading to drainage issues. Grass clippings should be directed back onto your lawn or gathered for disposal in compost or yard waste bins.

In addition to lawns, residents are responsible for clearing any grass or weeds that grow along sidewalks, curbs, and other bordering areas. Keeping these spaces clear supports safe walking conditions and adds to the neighborhood’s overall tidiness.

If a neighbor is unable to mow due to age, disability, or other limitations, consider lending a hand. A well-maintained yard benefits everyone and helps foster a stronger sense of community throughout Sigourney.
