Grounds maintenance - grass cutting, shrub beds and hedges
We look after approximately 720 hectares of highway verges and community spaces across the district.
Most of our work is routine and planned around the growing seasons and includes:
- amenity grass cutting
- core grass cutting for safety purposes
- cutting of council hedges
- weed control
- shrub bed maintenance
- litter collection
We do get requests for service and often deal with hotspot areas pro-actively. Works of this nature will include:
- clearance of weeds
- dealing with overhanging vegetation (we do not cut private hedges but can serve notice on properties)
- For hedges and bushes/trees that are overhanging paths or roads use the following link to spillages and obstruction
- cutting grass that impedes visibility
Please note that we are not responsible for:
- private land
- several commons in our area (run by parish councils)
- some areas of grass or open spaces that are maintained by Parish or Town Councils
