Trees and outdoor spaces

From parks and play areas to cemeteries and sports fields, our team works year-round to keep public spaces tidy, safe, and welcoming. See how we maintain and enhance the green areas across our city.

Grounds maintenance

Grounds and tree maintenance

Our team looks after a wide range of outdoor spaces to keep them clean, safe, and looking great all year round. 

Here's what we do:

Grass cutting

We cut grass across many different areas, including parks, sports fields, and conservation sites. Before we start, we clear any litter, and once we're done, we blow or sweep grass off the paths.

In hot, dry weather, we may pause grass cutting to protect the grass. During these times, our teams help out with other tasks.

Hedge and shrub care

We maintain hedges and shrubs through:

  • pruning
  • hoeing
  • spraying
  • mulching
  • edging
  • litter picking

Most of this work happens in winter, with lighter maintenance and litter picking in the summer.

Tree services (arboriculture)

Our tree team handles:

  • tree maintenance
  • tree removal
  • tree planting

We also offer a 24/7 emergency call-out service for urgent tree issues.
