How close can I plant shrubs to the fire hydrant in my yard?
Fire hydrants are required at least every 300 feet for public safety. Firefighters require a 5-foot perimeter with no foliage or obstacles in order to easily access the hydrant in case of a fire. When planting near a hydrant, remember to consider the size the plants will be when they are fully grown.
