The Dogwood Arts organization has informed us that the City of Knoxville will be doing a complimentary brush pickup within our neighborhood for ONLY those neighbors whose homes are on the Dogwood Trail the week of February 20th, 2023. All brush must be at the curb by Monday, February 20th.

The city will NOT pick up stumps, logs or other large items. This is for BRUSH ONLY. They will also not pick up debris from unoccupied lots.

Please remember that this is a favor that the City of Knoxville is giving to the Dogwood Arts organization and to us. They will come one time and not return later in the month.

Let’s all pitch in together to make Lakemoor Hills shine for our visitors when the trails open on April 1st.
