Harris County Commissioners Court approved a contract renewal worth $351,370 for lawn care and vegetation management at public health facilities. Three local companies — Landscape Professionals of Texas, DL Glover Clearing, and Sprayco — will provide mowing and abatement services from May 2026 through May 2027. This contract keeps our public health clinics, offices, and outdoor spaces clean and safe for community members who visit for medical care, immunizations, and health services. Well-maintained grounds matter because they create welcoming environments for families seeking healthcare and prevent overgrown areas that can harbor pests or create safety hazards. These services support the dozens of Harris County public health locations across our region, from neighborhood clinics in Baytown and Tomball to specialized facilities in downtown Houston. The contract went through Commissioners Court, our county's main governing body that makes spending decisions with public money. Each commissioner represents different areas of Harris County, ensuring all neighborhoods have a voice in these decisions. Residents can track how their tax dollars support community health infrastructure through these contract renewals. To stay informed about similar county decisions, contact the Harris County Clerk's office or attend Commissioners Court meetings held most Tuesdays. You can also reach Mary Cesar at the email provided for questions about this specific contract.
