Hendersonville’s roadside mowing project has begun on city streets. Residents are encouraged to maintain their property adjacent to street right-of-ways to avoid the need, and resulting affect, of the sidearm mower.
The City of Hendersonville has found the sidearm mower is the most viable way to manage mowing 68 miles of streets. A general guideline for homes adjacent to roadways is to keep any bushes, tree limbs, etc. out of the roadway and one to two feet behind the curb or edge of pavement. The height should be approximately 16 feet above the road surface. For streets with sidewalks, the same applies for the roadway and sidewalks should be clear of obstructions to a height of seven to eight feet.
Property owners near intersections are also asked to keep vegetation and debris trimmed far enough away from the intersections to allow motorists a reasonable line of sight before entering the intersection.
