Sod Damage & Sprinkler Systems
Driveway markers can help protect sod from damage. If you want to protect your yard from possible damage from snow plowing, the Public Works Department suggests that you stake out your yard along the curb line with flexible driveway markers. These stakes can be purchased at any local hardware or home improvement store. It is recommended that you buy markers with reflectors so that they can be seen in the dark. By doing this, you will help the plow operators in locating the curb line.
Despite the plow operators' best efforts, sod along the edge of the road occasionally may be damaged during snow removal activities. In general, the city will repair boulevards damaged by a snow plow or truck. The city will not be responsible for damage to underground irrigation systems. Residents are responsible for cleaning any sand build-up from the boulevard and for repairing damaged vegetation due to salt originating from snow plowing and sanding activities.
If you have questions about sod damage, or wish to report damage, call Public Works at (651) 714-3720 or e-mail publicworks@ci.woodbury.mn.us.
