LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE SPECIFICATIONS

B) MOWING:
Lawn areas will be mowed evenly, as needed, to maintain a height of 2 1/2 ” to 3”. This will be interpreted to mean weekly maintenance, however there may be occasions when the weekly mowing will be skipped entirely or spot mowed.

Mowers should be kept sharp and in good adjustment at all times during the mowing. The grass blades must be cut sharply and cleanly. Turf grass will be mowed evenly and grass adjacent to fences, light poles, culverts and other stationary objects will be trimmed with a mechanical trimmer to the same height as the lawn area.
Contractor will be allowed to mow turf area in such a manner that the grass clippings are recycled or mulched. However, when mowing procedures produce excessive clippings, the Contractor will clean up such clippings. Grass clippings will be blown from the sidewalks and streets at the time of each mowing. Debris or clippings will not be placed in pond or on site for disposal. Contractor is responsible for all removal.
Mowing will be done in a neat and orderly manner. Equipment will be moved on to and off of the area in such a manner that will minimize tracks or arks that will detract from the finished turf.
