Lawn Care:
Fertilizer: Remember that you’re not just fertilizing your lawn…
While fertilizer is good for our lawn, it’s bad for our water. Fertilizer that enters our lakes and streams can cause algae to grow and use up oxygen that fish need to survive. So what can you do to help? Simple.
- Sweep it. Sweep excess fertilizer and grass clippings from pavement back onto your lawn so that they don’t wash into storm drains.
- Buy low and go slow. Contact the Oakland County Michigan State University Extension at: (248) 858-0902 to get a soil test. Choose a fertilizer with no or low phosphorus--phosphorus causes algae growth. Also use an organic or slow-release nitrogen fertilizer, which causes less harm to water. Many local hardware stores carry earth-friendly fertilizing options.
- Hire smart. Select a lawn care service that follows the practices noted above.
- Mow high. Keep your lawn at three inches in height or more. Taller grass strengthens roots and shades out weeds. Also, remember that the nutrients from grass clippings left on your lawn act as a great fertilizer.
- Make fertilizer-free zones. Keep fertilizer at least 20 feet away from the edge of any lakes, streams, or storm drains.

For more information on chosing a lawn care company that uses fertilizers responsibly, see A GuideTo Selecting a Lawn Service. (PDF)
Snow Removal and Winter Parking: Winter Parking is prohibited during a Snow Emergency. When the snow/ice accumulates to 4 inches or more a Snow Emergency will be declared.
The DPW is responsible for snow removal from City streets, and parking lots. Snow removal in all other areas is the responsibility of the property owner. Accumulated snow and ice must be removed from paved sidewalks within 24 hours of the precipitation event. If snow or ice is so hard that it cannot be removed without damaging the sidewalk, please use sand or an agent designed to melt the ice or other to ensure reasonably safe travel. As soon as the weather permits, please clean the sidewalk.
