RFP-6848 - Lawn Mowing Services

Summary of Specifications:
These general specifications are based on the standard service of approximately 24 cuttings per season; however, the County shall determine the frequency of the cuttings per site. Specifications for lawn mowing must include the following: 

1. Grass to be mowed routinely to maintain an average height of 3” to 3.5”. Taller grass crowds out weeds and promotes deeper root systems which help the lawn during drought periods. 

2. Return clippings to the lawn so they can recycle their nutrient content. Clippings must be blown off drives and walkways. No washing of equipment or clippings will be permitted on premises. 

3. Trimming around all obstacles as needed. 

4. Edging of curbs, drives, and walks will be performed at every other cutting. 

5. All litter and debris to be removed from lawn prior to mowing. 

6. Direction of mowing pattern to be altered on a regular basis to avoid worn spots.
