Keep your lawn healthy and your storm drain clean! Know what to do with grass clippings, excess fertilizer and fallen leaves…
Fall has arrived in Hampton Roads—and just in time, following a hot, humid Hampton Roads summer.
Now that muggy days are giving way to cool, dry weather, it’s a great time to see what chores are needed to take back your curb appeal. Caring for your lawn sometimes means cutting grass, gathering fallen leaves and adding fertilizer to your soil. And when it does, what you do next is critical…
Don’t rake, sweep, blow it or allow any excess into the street.
Why? Because wind and rain pushes it all down the storm drains and into our waterways where it causes blockages, pollution and kills our fish and crabs. Ugh. Nobody wants that. The good news is, there are ways to keep area storm drains clean AND your lawn healthy at the same time!
