Unmaintained lawns are an eyesore and may harbor rodents and other pests. DCC enforces rules and helps property owners understand their responsibilities for their lawns and landscaping. DCC maintains a seasonal grass compliance program from Apr. through Oct. (exact dates are determined on an annual basis).
Grass height is regulated by the Fairfax County Vegetation Ordinance. Generally, grass should be kept below 12 inches in height. Depending on the type of property, different rules can apply.
