§ 78-86. Trenching in grass areas.  


Latest version.
  • Trenching in grass areas or planting spaces shall be replaced in a condition close to that which existed prior to the excavation, particularly regarding sod or grass and proper elevation of the finished surface. All excess material shall be removed and overgraded to ensure no obstructions to mowing operations. In planting areas, no trench or excavation shall be made that will remove or endanger any shrubbery, flowers, trees or other planting. Should it be determined that a trench should be excavated at a location that would cause removal of or endanger any planting, special arrangements shall be made with the public works department, operations division, for the work prior to making excavations.
