Why don you cut or strim the grass at the base of trees and obstacles?
We use the largest possible mowers to cut the grass to make the service as efficient as we can. On some grassed areas these machines are not able to cut close enough to trees and bases of obstacles. Again, it would be too costly to have additional staff following each time with strimmers or small mowers. There’s also evidence to suggest that constant strimming around trees can cause damage as it removes bark from around the trees’ bases. Instead, we apply a fully approved herbicide around trees and obstacles, usually twice each year. In some seasons, depending on the weather, the effect of the herbicide does not last as long as usual so we may need to do some occasional strimming as well.
