Grass cutting
We cover a number of different grass cutting specifications and sites, including sports areas and conservation cuts. Litter is cleared from the area prior to cutting and cut grass blown/swept from paths afterwards.
During hot dry weather, grass cutting is monitored closely, and operations may be suspended until growing conditions return. During this time teams are re-allocated to other work.

Most of the work is undertaken during the winter period with lighter maintenance and litter picking carried out during the summer months.
