Landscape Delivery
IF IT’S IN OUR STREETS, IT CAN GET INTO OUR CREEKS
You can help keep our water clean (and avoid Storm Water Ordinance violations) by following these Best Management Practices (BMPs):
- Check for nearby storm drains before delivery. Additional protections may be needed;
- Have soil, mulch, compost, and rock delivered in the driveway instead of the street whenever possible (street deliveries may require an encroachment permit); Street side deliveries are generally not permitted due to potential traffic safety issues, damages caused to asphalt, and potential water quality impacts;
- Put a tarp under the pile;
- Keep piles at least 2 feet out of the street gutter;
- Cover the pile with a tarp and weights to protect from rain and wind as needed;
- Thoroughly sweep area after removal.
