Report Overgrown Grass or Landscaping Along a City Road

Is grass or landscaping along a road overgrown or creating a safety concern?

The City of Orlando maintains medians and roadside areas along city-maintained roads. Report overgrown grass or landscaping to help keep our roads safe and our public spaces well maintained.

Keep in mind:

  • Some roads within Orlando are maintained by other agencies, including Orange County and the Florida Department of Transportation.
  • For overgrown grass or landscaping on private property, report it to Code Enforcement.
  • For a tree in the public right-of-way that is unhealthy, damaged or needs trimming, report a problem tree.

Step 1.Check the location

Make sure the problem is in a median or roadside area along a city-maintained road (right-of-way), not on private property.

Examples of issues you can report include:

  • Grass or weeds that are significantly overgrown or clearly overdue for mowing.
  • Overgrown landscaping that makes a median or roadside area look neglected.
  • Vegetation blocking a driver's view of traffic, pedestrians, signs or an intersection.
  • Vegetation growing into or obstructing a sidewalk, bike lane or roadway.

If the overgrowth is on private property, report it to Code Enforcement instead.

Step 2.Gather your information

Note the street name and the closest address or intersection. Tell us whether the problem is in the median or along the side of the road and describe what needs attention.

If you can do so safely, take a photo. Photos can help us locate and evaluate the problem faster.

Step 3.Report the landscaping problem to the city
