Grass Cutting
Grass should be maintained between 20mm and 40mm at all times. During periods of inclement or dry weather, grass cutting can be suspended. Bulb areas will be cut down from the 1 June. Summer meadow areas receive one cut a year in September to a height of 50mm and all cuttings removed. Any grass clippings on the paths should be swept or blown back onto the grass.

Shrub Maintenance
All shrubs must be pruned when necessary to maintain them within the site boundary. The time of year when this can be carried out may depend on the species..

Trees
Tree pits to be kept clear of established weed. All epicormic growth (tree suckers) to be removed to a height of 3m. Low branches overhanging hardstanding areas lifted to 2m. Expert arboriculture (tree) works are carried out by the Greenspace Tree Section and are not part of the Grounds Maintenance contract.

Leaves
Enterprise removes leaves from grassed areas and shrub beds. Caretakers clear hard standing areas and paths.  Enterprise will spray hard standing areas to kill weeds and ensure that these areas are kept weed free
