Dayton & Montgomery County Public Health talked with the Ohio Department of Health to decide how lawn care businesses should operate during the stay-at-home order moving forward.
If the businesses abide by the physical distancing and disinfecting requirements implemented in the stay-at-home order then they may continue to operate, said Dayton & Montgomery County Public Health in a release.
Dayton & Montgomery County Public Health say they will be randomly inspecting the business practices of local lawn care companies to ensure they are following all the requirements.
The following services are permitted to continue according to public health:
- Mow commercial and residential properties
- However, businesses should refrain from landscaping services of residential properties that are considered non-essential such as for beautification purposes
- Landscaping services that are for the safety and sanitation of properties, for example insect control, are also allowed
