I was parked in a lot on Texas Avenue and watch a commercial lawn service blow six or seven paper trash items onto Texas ave and he even kicked a crushed plastic coke bottle onto the street.

If I throw a gum wrapper out my vehicle and a city police saw me. I would get a ticket. Are the lawn services allowed to blow whatever they want onto the street?

I always thought the same…..

Blow leaves and grass clippings into the street, said debris washes down into the storm drains, years of accumulated said debris, big rain comes, storm drains clogged, neighborhood floods. So who is to blame?

Ask me how i came up with this scenario?

Never mind the incessant noise pollution. Those things are ubiquitous and very loud. Yes, I'm old.

No one can litter, or drive on the sidewalks, or park wherever they want to, but hey that never stopped them before.

We need more natural environments. Grass doesn't have to be mowed so often. Rock gardens are pretty. Nothing wrong with pavement & astroturf. Saves water, too.

It's illegal to blow grass clippings into the street.

If the city would enforce the original littering, the landscapers wouldn't have to blow it into the street. Your problem is with the people doing the littering, not the landscapers.

Yes. Pavement is what you need to keep things natural. lol.

Your yard should be full of brown weeds dying back for the winter at this time of year and if you have any trees that aren't like the ones you see in abandoned area like natural live oaks, you should be found guilty of crimes against humanity and the planet. If your grass is green and you have a water system installed to keep it that way, it shouldn't be there at all.

That's a bit extreme. But less lush lawns requiring far less water are a good thing, especially as we keep growing.
