WATER SMART: GREEN LAWNS ARE REQUIRED!
“Water-smart” doesn’t mean a brown lawn. Watering ‘smart’ leads to healthier, stronger plants while reducing water use. Most plants do best if the soil partially dries out between watering, so water deeply and infrequently. One inch per week is the rule of thumb for the amount of water grass needs in the middle of summer.
Planting in the Right of Way (ROW)
Enclosed are resources regarding frequently asked questions for Planting in the ROW, also know as planting strips.
“The City of Tacoma requires abutting property owners to maintain adjoining rights-of-way. This includes streets and alleys extending from the owner’s property lines out to the curbs or edges of pavement (includes sidewalks and planting strips) if improved, or if unimproved (unpaved), out to the centerlines. There are several places in the Tacoma Municipal Code where these obligations are stated: Chapters 9.17 & 9.18, and 8.30 & 8.31.”
