Lawn Care & Landscaping in Wormleysburg

Leaves and yard waste

The borough's leaf pickup runs from mid-October to late November, with leaves raked to the property edge nearest the road for weekly vacuuming. Yard waste goes out with the Tuesday trash, bagged or in tied bundles up to four feet and 40 pounds; grass clippings aren't collected. A fall cleanup hauls the leaves away instead.

Clippings off the street

The borough reminded residents in August 2026 that blowing yard clippings onto the street is dangerous and illegal, and to keep clippings off streets and sidewalks. Every mowing visit ends with the pavement blown clean, not the gutter.

Sidewalks after a snow

Borough code gives owners 24 hours to clear the sidewalk (§ 21-301), and dumping soil or waste on a street or alley is prohibited (§ 21-401). Set up snow removal before the first storm.

Fences, walls and the floodplain

Front-yard fences and walls top out at 48 inches (36 on a corner lot) and must be half open, and engineered retaining walls that hold back a slope are allowed by right (§ 27-710). Properties near the river may be in the mapped floodplain, where building permits are required. Call the borough's codes office before a patio or wall project starts.

Grass height and trees

Grass and weeds over six inches are a violation under borough code (§ 10-101), and branches have to clear 12 feet over the street and 8 feet over the sidewalk (Chapter 25). A regular mowing schedule and a yearly shrub trimming cover both.
