Who maintains our City Street landscape?
We strive to present our residents and visitors a beautiful, well maintained landscape along City streets. Landscape services are provided by Central Service Yard.

Services provided by City staff include:

• Mowing
• Shrub and groundcover trimming
• Weeding and litter removal
• Removal/replacement of dead or unhealthy plants
• Irrigation system repair
• Pruning of trees

Special Districts Landscape - Some median island landscapes in the City are part of a maintenance assessment district. Homeowners and businesses in these districts are assessed a special tax for a higher level of landscaping. If you have a question pertaining to landscape within a maintenance district please contact Ms. Dorothy Abeyta at 277-5907.

Undeveloped medians - Medians with bare dirt are considered "undeveloped" and are waiting for future funding to develop their landscapes. The Public Works Department is responsible for the design and construction of new landscapes. When finished, the medians are then turned over to the Department of Transportation for maintenance.

Adopt a Street is a program that provides business, organizations, neighborhood associations and individuals the opportunity to become a partner with the City in beautifying and maintaining a street landscape parcel. Assistance is welcomed from volunteers who desire to improve and maintain the landscaping in their community. For more information please call (408) 975-7174.
