Cutting schedules
We aim to cut grass on a 20 working day cycle, usually from the middle of March to October/November but this is subject to weather and ground conditions.
The 4-weekly cutting week dates for 2024 are:
- Schedule A week beginning: 16 September, 14 October
- Schedule B week beginning: 23 September, 21 October
- Schedule C week beginning: 30 September, 28 October
- Schedule D week beginning: 9 September, 7 October
Sports pitches, for example football pitches, are cut on a 10 working day cycle during the playing season.
The edges of grass plots are cut back during the winter months on a four yearly rolling programme to prevent grass spreading onto adjacent paths.
Rain and wet ground conditions make it difficult, and sometimes unsafe, to operate mowing machines. On sloping sites it is particularly dangerous and we have to wait until the land dries out.
We will do our best to keep to schedule, but if we are prevented from mowing by bad weather the next mow will be late. Please bear with us if this happens, we will do our best to catch up.
