Public Works:  Tree Trimming and Right-of-Way Mowing

There are over 986 miles of County owned or maintained paved and unpaved roads in Clay County. The majority of these roads have trees and grass growing on county right-of ways.  Overgrown grass and trees are not only unsightly, but they can be a safety hazard on roadways.  The inability to see road signs, traffic lights and the condition of the shoulder, all present problems citizens of Clay County should not have to deal with. 

To keep our roadside grass under control, mowing is accomplished every 9 weeks during mowing season, from May to November on county maintained roadways.  Weather, illnesses, equipment failure, and holidays all play a part in altering our schedule. To view mowing procedures and a list of roadways that are mowed, follow this link: Mowing Procedures and Road List.

Trees are trimmed as they are reported, either by a citizen complaint or when a work crew observes a need in an area they are working.  Only trees on County right-of ways will be trimmed.  All others are the responsibility of the property owner.

To report a tree trimming or mowing need, please submit a request using this link: Maintenance Request Form.    

Questions regarding tree trimming or mowing may be directed to the Streets and Drainage Division at 269-6335 or email public.works@co.clay.fl.us.
