PROGRAM RETURNING IN 2026! 

The City of Wood Dale is pleased to announce the return of the Senior/Disabled Grass Cutting Program.

The program will be available at a subsidized cost of approximately $15.00, and will be limited based on available funds and on a first come, first served basis for those who qualify. The City has obtained a private contractor to fulfill the weekly grass cutting services beginning on or about mid-April and continue through mid-November.

The program services are described below:

• Spring cleanup. This will include a standard spring cleanup of leaves, twigs, branches, debris, etc., that have accumulated on the property over the winter months.
• Cutting of grass. This will include standard lawn mowing of the property, regardless of size.
• Edging of hardscape. This will include edging/weed whipping along any hardscape, including but not limited to sidewalks, driveways, patios, etc. It does not include edging of landscaping beds, tree mulch rings, or other softscape features.
• Fall cleanup. This service will include a standard fall cleanup of leaves, twigs, branches, etc., accumulated on the property over the summer/fall months. This will be done after the grass cutting is complete and scheduled with the Public Works Department. This work is anticipated to be completed during the first two weeks of November.
• This service DOES NOT include fertilizing, trimming bushes, trees, or other plants, watering, or pulling weeds.
