The Forestry Section maintains all vegetation on City property that is adjacent to main arterial roads, with the exception of boulevards that front private properties (residential and commercial). Maintenance includes grass cutting, turf maintenance (seeding, fertilizing, aeration, sodding) and leaf pick up.

Grass cutting schedule

City retained contractors complete scheduled grass cutting throughout the city depending on weather, site conditions and scheduling conflict.

Maintaining boulevard grass

To keep our neighbourhood streets tidy, we ask residents to assist in maintaining the small grass area between the sidewalk and roadway in front of their home. Keeping the boulevard grass area cut will help keep your neighbourhood neat and tidy.

Pesticide use

Under the Ontario Cosmetic Pesticides Ban, the City of Mississauga does not treat City-owned property with pesticides.
