Wet ground, runoff and nearby pavement
Avon’s stormwater information explains how runoff from roofs and driveways can carry pollutants toward storm drains and local waterways. For your lawn, note where downspouts discharge, where water pools and where it runs toward pavement. Those observations help identify conditions that a treatment alone cannot solve.
Avoid working or driving equipment over saturated turf. Keep fertilizer and grass clippings off pavement and out of storm drains; the city’s After the Storm guide explains why everyday lawn care choices matter.
