Brent Council

Grass verges in Brent are scheduled to be cut at a number of frequencies depending on the site and the type of grass. To see when the verge was last cut/is next scheduled to be cut refer to the table alongside.

Schedules can be affected by weather and other factors, so are subject to change. Whether the table says “Not Applicable” or “Last Season” the team hasn’t yet visited this season.

Our intended schedule for grass cutting work is to revisit the same location every 25 working days from the date of the last visit shown below. Crews typically work Monday to Friday and will start cutting from 8am.

We endeavour to carry on cutting throughout inclement weather and we will only miss or delay a cut if we find we are causing damage to the grass or if there is risk to crews or the public.

Our grass cutting machines are fitted with special tyres, to enable working on grassed areas during wet weather. Sometimes when the ground conditions are wet the disturbed surface soil appears to stain the grass. It might look unsightly for a day or two after a cut, but this soon washes out.

During or shortly after the first visit of the growing season, herbicide may be applied to assist with weed control.

During the winter season  visits, we:

• Weed the beds
• Remove any litter and report fly-tipping to the Council
• Prune shrubs back to one years’ growth
• Trim grass borders

All maintenance is subject to weather/ground conditions.
