What is a weed?
For purposes of enforcement of city ordinance weeds are all grasses, annual plants, and vegetation (other than trees or shrubs provided) beyond the 8 inches mark. However, this term doesn't include cultivated flowers and gardens, including native planting used for aesthetic or wildlife promotion, to attract and aid wildlife, to offset and control any soil loss problems either occurring or predicted, to promote stormwater infiltration into the soil, or promote transpiration of stormwater by plants.
