Bristol yards range from small in-town lots behind colonial and Federal-era homes on Hope, High and Thames Streets, often with a narrow side yard and old shade trees, to bigger lawns toward Ferry Road and on Poppasquash Point that take the wind off the bay. Mature maples and oaks mean a heavy fall leaf drop, and salt air is hard on beds near the water.
Bristol takes leaves and yard waste at the curb in spring, summer and fall, with schedules from the Sewer Department, and residents can drop yard waste at the transfer station at no cost. Bristol's water comes from the Bristol County Water Authority, which banned all outdoor watering except watering cans for a time in 2019 during an East Bay Pipeline repair.
Bristol, Warren and Barrington: older yards, big trees, bay wind and the same water system. More on Bristol County, RI, including every town in it.
